Prepare for an epic adventure of strategy and time manipulation, as “Iron Danger” comes to PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series. Published by Daedalic Entertainment and developed by Action Squad Studios, this turn-based strategy RPG introduces a novel time manipulation mechanic that fuses the tactical complexity of turn-based games with the dynamic action of real-time mechanics. Priced at $19.99, this game offers an experience that challenges players to unravel complex encounters using their strategic cunning.
Originally released on March 25, 2020 for PC via Steam, “Iron Danger” has expanded its horizons to the world of next-gen consoles. However, it is still unclear whether the previously announced versions for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One will see the light of day.
A Unique Fusion of Tactical Depth and Real-Time Action
“Iron Danger” presents a compelling proposition by interweaving tactical depth with real-time action through its innovative time control mechanism. Players command a duo of characters to face challenging encounters, employing various skills and interacting with highly dynamic environments. Creative tactics abound; From igniting enemies and throwing them into fields for a fiery barbecue, to crafting traps and knocking down trees to crush adversaries, the possibilities are limitless and the decision-making is completely in your hands.
Mastery Over Time
The core of the game’s identity is its innovative time control feature. You have the power to rewind time by up to 5 seconds, allowing you to experiment with various strategies and combinations until the optimal solution emerges. This fusion of real-time combat and traditional turn-based mechanics creates a puzzle-like aspect to tactical engagements. It allows you to tackle seemingly insurmountable challenges, orchestrating character actions in sync to achieve perfection.
A Story of Time, Gods and War
“Iron Danger” is set in a world of majestic landscapes, ancient forests and serene lakes, where gods and mechanized monstrosities coexist. The city of Kalevala, a bastion of human rebellion against divine tyranny, stands at the heart of this kingdom. As an ominous witch queen leads her army from the cold north in search of vengeance, forgotten powers emanate from ancient ruins, tempting humanity with dominion over forgotten forces and pushing the world into chaos.
Embark on the journey of Kipuna, a cunning young village girl who was given dominion over time and death. Navigating between the city of Kalevala and the vengeful Nords under the command of the Witch Queen Lowhee, you must master your new abilities to protect humanity from destruction.
“Iron Danger” offers a distinctive gaming experience that unites strategy, time manipulation and a captivating narrative. With its arrival on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series, a broader audience will be able to immerse themselves in a world where time itself is both an ally and an adversary.
