Iron Swarm

Iron Swarm is a top-down 2D tank arcade game for players who want sharp combat without loot boxes, virtual currency, energy timers, or pay-to-win mechanics. CORE LOOP Drive a tank through wave after wave of enemy armor. Every third wave brings a multi-phase boss encounter — Phase 1 fires single shots, Phase 2 adds charge attacks and 8-bullet ring bursts, Phase 3 escalates to 12-bullet rings and a 5-shot spread. Enemy speed scales with each cycle. There is no final wave — only how far you can go. EIGHT HISTORICAL MISSIONS (v1.0) Mission Mode is a curated set of 8 historical tank operations, each with bespoke rules, terrain, and a 2.5D sprite-stack visual treatment: - Mission 01: Ghost of Mtsensk (Eastern Front, 1941) - Mission 02: Iron Crossroads (Raseiniai, 1941) - Mission 03: Red Tide at Prokhorovka (Kursk, 1943) - Mission 04: Zvika Force (Golan Heights, 1973) - Mission 05: Desert Stand (Longewala, 1971) - Mission 06: Eagle Troop (73 Easting, 1991) - Mission 07: People's Hero Tank (Korea, 1953) - Mission 08: Iron Gate (Saigon, 1975) Each mission ships with a unique BGM, custom HUD overlay, and a 3-star rating per round. DAILY CHALLENGE A new seeded run every 24 hours. Same starting conditions for every player on Earth. One attempt. One score. Local leaderboard tracks your best. CONTROLS Mobile: virtual twin-stick (left = move, right = aim and fire). Dedicated buttons for Homing Missile and Drone Strike. Desktop: WASD to move, Spacebar to fire, M for missile, D for drone — keyboard-native feel. POWER-UPS (earned in-game, never purchased) - Health Pack — restores 50 HP instantly - Speed Boost — 1.5x movement speed for 8 seconds - Shield — absorbs all incoming damage for 10 seconds - Rapid Fire — doubles fire rate for 8 seconds - EMP Blast, Drone Strike, Burst Fire, Freeze Gun, Shield Bubble — situational tools that change how a round plays BOSS REWARDS Defeat a boss to crack open a Field Module chest. Power-ups now carry rarity tiers — and enemies can drop them mid-fight, so every wave is a gamble worth pushing. 2.5D VISUAL TREATMENT Every mission and prop is rendered with a sprite-stack technique that gives 2D sprite art a volumetric feel — tanks have depth, walls cast slabs, props read as objects in space. Built on Flame engine with a 60fps target on every supported device. ACCESSIBILITY - Reduce Motion toggle (disables non-essential camera shake and hit-pause) - High-contrast HUD option - Text scale clamped to remain legible at every system text size - Semantic labels on every menu control (PLAY, SETTINGS, PAUSE) HONEST MONETIZATION Free players get full access through Wave 10 of the campaign — including two complete boss encounters — with no account required.

Choose what fits you: an annual subscription ($9.99/year, auto-renewing) or a one-time lifetime unlock ($24.99) that you buy once and keep forever.
