I made this game all by myself. Yes, it is a real online PvP card battle game, I’ve finally managed to made it, congrats to myself :) Due to the love of traditional card battle games and to lower the learning curve, I adopted the very basic rules, and added lots of innovative and fun features and cards that I’ve fantasized. For example, a board with slots, Terrain system, Trap mechanism, and fun keywords such as Spy, Melee, Ranged, etc. I’ll keep updating new and fun stuff (lots of works are planned). If you find this game enjoyable, please share with others and leave a good review. It’s very helpful to a real indie developer. Much obliged! Talk to me and find other players on Discord: discord.gg/sURPfcegQb Shoutout for Komar, who’s helped me with Polish translation.

About

Ironbound

Features
Read full description

Ironbound is a turn-based tactical duel game built around RPG class identities and deep itemization. You shape your hero through equipment, not deck building, and develop your play-style across matches rather than rogue-like runs. Learn each class, then shape how it fights through weapons, shields and magic trinkets. Equipment can fundamentally change a hero’s play style. Your opponent’s visible gear lets you read their strategy and plan your response, rather than guess what might be hidden in their deck. Spend your action points well and land the strike that ends it. FIVE HEROES, FIVE WAYS TO FIGHT Play the hero that matches your style: the aggressive Berserker, the resilient Crusader, the stealthy Assassin, the cunning Witch or the chaotic Pirate. BUILD YOUR HERO Gold earned in matches upgrades your character and buys better equipment. With hundreds of weapons, shields and magic trinkets to choose from, explore combinations that reshape your class and suit the way you fight. CLIMB THE LADDER Take on real players in online duels and rise through the ranks, or practise against the computer in single-player matches. FREE TO PLAY Ironbound is free to play. Optional purchases are cosmetic: skins for your hero's crest, a hero portrait, and the Supporter Pack, which adds a Supporter badge by your name and class-coloured effects on your crest and attacks. Nothing you can buy makes your hero stronger. An internet connection is required.
