About This Game

Hold the line. Keep your squad alive.

Starward Iron is a military science-fiction survival FPS. Fight alien assaults aboard Fort Resolute, an orbital defense station, then take the battle inside the Cincture to secure alien beacon authorization codes. Two AI operators fight alongside you as you manage weapons, ammunition, shields and field supplies under rising pressure.

Two defenses, different ground

• Fort Resolute: Defend a connected station interior against escalating waves, changing breach locations and threats to station systems.
• Cincture / Beacon Heist: Hold the archive relay while NORA completes a fifteen-minute code download. Fight across a suspended hold, four bridges, an outer circulation ring and an elevated crescent as reinforcements arrive from four parts of the alien ship. Your weapon racks, ammunition and supply cases have been hauled in beside the position you must defend.

Fight as a squad

Order your AI teammates to follow, hold a position or focus an enemy. Move to cover, revive a downed operator and protect the relay when alien saboteurs break through.

Make your equipment count

Exchange weapons at physical racks, manage a two-firearm loadout and collect ammunition and grenades from field supplies. Sprint, slide, crouch, go prone or use directional boosts to reposition. Recover with nanite field treatment and deploy portable turrets to support your defense.

Built for hands-on play

Use keyboard and mouse or gamepad controls, scalable interface text, configurable HUD and accessibility settings. Practice in the separate Training drill. Single-player can be played offline.

In development

The current playable scope is two survival missions and a training area. Final PC hardware requirements and Steam online features are still being qualified. Store materials will be updated as those features are verified.
