What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“We want to involve players early in the development process to ensure Iron Core: Mech Survivor delivers the best experience possible. Early Access allows us to gather valuable feedback on gameplay mechanics, balance, and features while expanding the game’s content. With the community’s input, we can refine the game, add meaningful features, and polish it into a title that both we and the players can be proud of.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We estimate Iron Core: Mech Survivor will remain in Early Access for 6–12 months. However, the timeline may change based on player feedback and the complexity of new features we plan to implement.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“The full version will feature more content:
Additional maps, mechs, enemy types, bosses, weapons, and tower types.
Expanded story: More missions, deeper lore, and enhanced storytelling.
Improved mechanics: Fine-tuned combat, balancing, and progression systems based on player feedback.
Polished visuals and audio: Enhanced graphics, animations, sound effects, and voiceovers.

The Early Access version already contains a solid foundation, but the full version will deliver a more complete and polished experience.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version will include test maps from the early development phase. The Demo version features one map and one playable character, allowing you to experience the full game loop. The purchasable version will contain all four maps and three playable characters, offering an experience close to the final product.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“It is possible that we raise or lower the price as we ship new content and features.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“We’re committed to involving the community in shaping the game’s development during Early Access. Players can share feedback through our ​Steam Community Hub, ​Discord server, and ​social media platforms. Based on your input, we’ll: Adjust game balance, refine interactions, fix bugs and add customizable settings and options to cater to diverse player preferences. Your feedback will directly influence these improvements, helping us create a game that truly meets the needs of our community.”

About This Game

Iron Core: Mech Survivor is a single-player roguelike top-down action game that combines the shrinking safe zones of battle royale, the strategic elements of tower defense, and the fast-paced gameplay of survivor-like games. The shrinking safe zone limits player movement but can be expanded through mining tasks. Meanwhile, resources are more abundant outside the zone, creating a high-risk, high-reward system that offers a fresh and thrilling experience for fans of roguelike and survivor games.

A Post-Apocalyptic Tale of AI and Humanity

Ever heard a story of AI in a post-apocalyptic world? In Iron Core, AIs have guarded humanity’s last shelter for over a century, waiting for survivors. Each AI has its personality and motivations, but they are united by one mission: to save humanity and rebuild a shattered world—or so it seems. Featuring full voiceovers, rich storytelling, and subtitles, this narrative will keep you hooked.

High-Intensity Roguelike Survivor Action

Take control of advanced AI mechs, wield both melee and ranged weapons, upgrade elemental bullets, unleash devastating artillery strikes, summon laser drones, and trigger massive AoE soundwave attacks. With a variety of powerful skills and dazzling effects, battles fill the screen with chaos. Upgrade through card draws, but only the luckiest players will make it to the end.

Rescue Missions and Mech Progression

Complete exciting missions to strengthen your mech. Destroy mutant nests, rescue and escort human survivors, establish satellite links for advanced weaponry, help rogue labs develop doomsday weapons, or repair broken bridges to rebuild the world. Every mission brings new challenges and rewards.

Reactor, Resource Gathering, and Safe Zones

Under constant attacks from mutants, gather radioactive fuel, deploy mining drones, and transport reactor fuel back to your base. Power up the reactor to activate the climate control system and expand the safe zone. The farther you venture from the zone, the more resources you’ll find—but the risks grow exponentially.

Tower Defense: Use Terrain to Your Advantage

Strategically build various towers to aid your missions. Some towers annihilate enemies, while others slow them down. Smart use of terrain and towers will make even the toughest missions easier to handle.

Launch Content

The initial release will include:

  • 3 Maps

  • 3 Mechs with unique weapon loadouts
