About Ironcast
Command a 7-meter-tall walking war machine in turn-based tactical combat, managing resource nodes to balance devastating firepower against enemy attacks in this steampunk alternate 1880s Britain. Die permanently in this roguelite campaign, but unlock persistent upgrades and customize your Ironcast with 50+ weapons and augmentations for endless strategic combinations.
Battles are fought by generating resource nodes which in turn drive the Ironcast's various weapons and systems. You must choose how to spend these nodes wisely, either offensively in order to cripple and destroy your opponents, or defensively, if they suspect a barrage of incoming weapons fire is due.
Features:
- Turn based strategy combat set against a rich and interesting alternate 1880's history.
- Roguelite campaign mode where death is permanent but with persistent rewards from one game session to the next. Drive back the invading forces and press forth for victory!
- Hand painted art style.
- Inspired by the steampunk genre and Victorian science fiction.
- Loot new technology and upgrade abilities from the wrecks of fallen enemies.
- Customise your Ironcast with a range of unique weapons and defensive systems. Over 50 different unlockable items will ensure an almost limitless number of combinations.
- Passive Augmentations allow players to modify their Ironcast's weapons and abilities.
- For PC, Mac and Linux.

Great concept but wasted because bad balancing and rogue-like mechanics make it a frustrating mess.
"Mostly Positive" is a travesty for this game, tell me if you've ever played a more perfect turn based Match 3 steampunk mecha rpg.
Ironcast, developed by Dreadbit and published by Ripstone, is a fascinating blend of puzzle mechanics, turn-based strategy, and roguelite progression wrapped in a stylish alternate-history steampunk setting. Rather than relying solely on tactical combat or traditional resource management, the game builds its entire battlefield around a match-based puzzle system that directly controls every aspect of combat. This unusual combination could have easily felt gimmicky, but Ironcast succeeds because it integrates its mechanics into a cohesive experience where every move has meaningful consequences. The game takes place in a reimagined Victorian era where giant war machines known as Ironcasts have transformed warfare. Inspired by classic science-fiction literature, the setting imagines a Britain threatened by rival nations deploying colossal mechanized weapons. Players assume the role of a commander piloting one of these enormous machines, taking part in military operations across a campaign filled with increasingly dangerous encounters. The premise may sound extravagant, but it provides a strong foundation for the game's unique identity. The mixture of aristocratic Victorian culture and…
Match 3 game but with zero dopamine.
