IRONCAST Coming to Switch August 10th
July 25th, in the year of our Lord 2017:
Since the recent announcement of Ironcast for Nintendo Switch,
fans have been eager to find out the release date of the game.
The teams at developer Dreadbit and Ripstone Publishing are
excited to announce that Ironcast, their first game for the
console, will be hitting digital shelves on the August 10th
2017. The game, which is the complete Ironcast collection and
includes all available Commanders and Mechs, will be priced at
£12.99 / $12.99 / €14.99.
Daniel Leaver, Founder & Designer at Dreadbit enthuses “I bought
a Nintendo Switch at launch and I was really, REALLY excited
about the concept of the console. After playing it for the first
time I desperately wanted to bring Ironcast to Switch because it
felt like the perfect platform for the game.”
With four ways to play, Ironcast fully utilises the array of
intuitive playing options on Nintendo Switch. You can play on
the big screen with the console docked, in tabletop mode with
the Pro Controller, and on the go in handheld mode using either
the Joy-Con™ controllers or by taking advantage of full touch
screen functionality. With added HD rumble support, taking down
the enemy has never felt so good!
About Ironcast:
Ironcast is a turn-based strategy game set in an alternative
Victorian history; where refined men and women command gigantic
mechanised war machines, laying waste to enemies of the British
Empire. As Commanders of the Consortium of Merit, players take
control of their own 7 metre tall walking Ironcast to defend
1880's Victorian England from an invading force of enemy
Ironcast.
Battles are fought by generating resource nodes which in turn
drive the Ironcast's various weapons and systems. Players must
choose how to spend these nodes wisely; either offensively to
cripple and destroy opponents, or defensively, if they suspect a
barrage of incoming weapon fire is due.
The roguelite style of Ironcast enforces that death is
permanent, but rewards are persistent and no two campaigns are
the same. With randomly generated missions, over 50 unlockable
items and the potential for rare enemy loot drops, commanders
will face a new crusade with every play through.
Be a hero, join the fight, save your country.
