Etherium, the game’s main resource is infinitely generated by bases but stops at a specific limit depending on your resource carrying capacity. Iron Marines does however have some far simpler mechanics at play than most traditional RTS games. The missions are extremely reminiscent of the story modes from old school RTS games such as Command and Conquer: Red Alert 2 and Warcraft 3. Other missions involve using only your Hero unit to rescue survivors or to find specific Boss enemies and take them out. Given a limited number of units and often limited to one or two bases, players will have to establish turret defenses and bunker down at times to protect themselves and their base from utter annihilation. Many of the missions in Iron Marines involve some sort of tower defense elements. Doing these spec-ops missions is optional but completing them will certainly help you along in the main game storyline thanks to the credits and technology it helps unlock. This formula is changed up a bit when side missions known as “Spec-Ops” missions are unlocked. Once a Hero unit is selected, you can drop onto the world map, into a mission, and carry out a set of objectives to achieve victory. Players will pick a Hero unit from a list of unlockable Heroes and select a mission on the gorgeous world map, that doubles as the game’s main menu. Rangers, Engineers, Diplomats and Mecha units abound and it’s up to you to order your units around the battlefield and ensure victory for your forces.Īfter a brief set of tutorial missions, Iron Marines significantly opens up and becomes far more complex than it initially seems. As the commander, players will have access to an array of different types of units. In Iron Marines, players will take on the role of a military commander. Does it deliver good gameplay though? We’re happy to state that the answer is a resounding yes. Iron Marines oozes style and while being a port of a mobile game, it transitioned to PC quite well. Ironhide Game Studio, known for their Kingdom Rush games, have successfully crafted another real time strategy game fused with tower defense elements. Iron Marines launched onto Steam and its pastel coloured gorgeousness has certainly gripped us.
