### 5/5 — Very worth playing

*2026-02-20, version 1.0*

I played this game for a week or two, a very great game worth the journey. Wish for a sequel.

### 1/5 — No Multiple Saves or Completely fresh restarts

*2026-02-02*

You only have one save with the option to clear your progress. However, all this does is reset your missions and achievements. You still keep all of your heroes, items and currency, meaning that this “clear progress” option is only half true. Please give us the option to have 100% fresh restarts and/or multiple gave saves.

### 5/5 — Amazing Game Amazing design

*2026-01-05*

The only thing I would change is to add a option in the settings to make a tap to move instead of drag

### 4/5 — It still hard but good

*2025-10-09, version 1.0*

Ok I like the game but at level 3 they just ambushed you but mostly it a good game

### 5/5 — So much fun cut short

*2025-10-06*

Super fun, but cut short. Once you get the hang of it you start going through the levels faster, and there aren’t that many. You still can do the special Ops but there’s not much after that.
It needed more levels. Once you beat them all a couple times you get they aren’t as fun and you know how to do everything. Also once you get so good you can’t get better. It’s still is supper fun.

### 5/5 — This game is awesome!

*2025-06-29*

Okay, let’s talk. I like this game for many, MANY reasons. 											1. I like the change of formula: I’m just going to say it, I’m not a die hard kingdom rush fan, I only played vengeance. But I think I’ll like iron marines better than any kr. I’m just a magnet attracted to non kingdom rush iron hide games, (iron marines, junk world.) But I’m getting off track, as I said, I like the change in formula. It’s really interesting, a tower defense/RTS mashup. It’s the fun of tower defense with a cool twist, you get to move around units, which I personally really like.:):3	2. The art and genre: the graphics are gorgeous, color everywhere, and animations are great too (especially with Easter eggs, more on that later). The genre is amazing too, I may be a bit biased because I love fantasy/sci-fi but 🤪. The first world starts off strong, with all these gross but good looking  insectoids. The planet is great, with goo puddles and stuff to really give off a disgusting vibe. The second world is a more robot world, really leans a lot into the sci-fi genre. The robots are really cool, I like that in this world, most enemy’s have unique abilities, like respawning structures and making shields. World three is good too, but the actual world is nothing special, just some run of the mill snowy wasteland. The enemy’s are really cool though. The designs are pretty much all the same, but the abilities are a different story. I won’t tell you they are though, you’ll have to play the game for that ☺️.											3. Easter eggs and humor: From what I’ve heard, iron hide is the king of Easter eggs, and that’s true. Every single one have animations, which show how much care they put into their games. Nothing else to say they’re just really good.						4. Gameplay and bosses: long story short: it’s really fun. Short story long: every enemy adds a different layer to this challenging cake. For example, there are guys spitting acid at your defenders, the defenders died but your towers are easily destroying the worms. Then a hammer tongue is destroying the towers letting the worms destroy your base.😱. See what I mean? Each enemy adds to the challenge in a different way. The bosses are really good too. My favorite is second world boss. Here’s a rundown of the fight. First phase: he’s spawning flying robots that shoot an onslaught of lasers at you. Second phase: he keeps the flying robots but also spawns ground robots that if close enough to a tower spot will go in it, stopping you from putting a tower their. Third phase: he goes berserk, getting rid of his robot servants, shoot out huge beams, dealing huge damage, and is also able to release huge onslaughts of lasers on the player. Sounds epic? It’s also epic in game. And that is why I love iron marines. (Fun fact, one of the heroes: Shatra, was in kingdom rush: fronteirs.)

### 5/5 — me lik it

*2025-05-14, version 1.0*

i think it will bee cool. i might white a reviw after i actuly play

### 1/5 — Pass

*2025-03-27, version 1.0*

One of the poorest designs imo for movement and attack, which is 95% of the game. I like the idea, concept, and the game design, but if I’m not able to efficiently move and attack then what does the rest matter?

### 2/5 — Controls clunky

*2025-01-17, version 1.0*

The controls for moving the marines make my wrist hurt. The kingdom rush games were better.

### 2/5 — Yeah, no. Just not fun thanks to the game

*2024-12-14*

You start to play and you think, hey this will be a fun little casual action game, reminds me of Warhammer from back in the day. Cute but neat. But then it sends waves of enemies in the middle of a casual easy setting and it just stops being fun. It invites you in and then makes you feel stupid. Skip it unless you want to get sweaty instead of just having a good time with some tower-defense like games. Remind me what the point here is?
