Game Introduction "Iron Battalion" is a shooting game with a wide variety of weapons, and victory or defeat depends not only on skills, but sometimes also on luck. Why is a micro charge difficult to defeat a handgun? After experiencing it personally, you will understand. The diverse combinations of firearms and props in the game, the perfect combination of weapons and combat skills, and personalized character settings all immerse players in it. The concise and smooth combat experience helps you easily immerse yourself in and win battles. The thrill of conquering the leaderboard through tough battles is irresistible. Game Background With the end of the World War, people around the world experienced a brief period of peace, but terrorist attacks continued to occur frequently in various places. Players will play as an ordinary anti-terrorism soldier, gradually growing up in each battle, fighting side by side with peace loving soldiers, and jointly safeguarding the peace of the world. Gameplay The game is in a competitive mode, divided into red and blue teams, who engage in battles on a jumping platform scene and inflict damage on each other through shooting. Any way of hitting an opponent will result in damage and passive displacement. Players initially have 3 health points based on game mode and difficulty. When the character is knocked down or has zero health, they die, consume some life, and then reactivate from above to join the battle until their life is exhausted, judged as failure. The reactivated character comes with a 3-second invincible shield, reducing displacement after being hit and avoiding the embarrassment of being shot down upon resurrection. During the battle, auxiliary items will randomly drop from the sky. Picking up the item in the first place will give you an advantage. If it is not picked up within a certain period of time, the item will automatically disappear. feature Innovative gameplay: Horizontal real-time shooting game. Big Show Operation: Passionate Battle, with a hundred maps for you to choose from. Tactical configuration: Cool weapons paired with various props are necessary to win.
