About This Game

Every egg is a new ally.

The Break Knight doesn’t fight alone. Dive into dungeons, battle the monsters inside, and haul home the eggs they guard. Back at your ranch, hatch them, raise them, and choose who joins you on the next run.

Raid Dungeons
Fight your way through side-scrolling dungeons full of enemies, loot, and monster eggs waiting to be claimed.

Hatch Monsters

Every egg you bring back holds a new creature. Hatch them at your ranch and grow your collection with every run.

Raise Your Herd
Manage your monsters on the ranch. Care for them, train them, and turn them into a fighting force.

Build Your Party

Pick which monsters fight beside the knight. Your party fights with you in real time, so mix and match until you find the team that clears the dungeon.

Grow Stronger Together

Every run makes your herd bigger and your party stronger, letting you push deeper into dungeons you couldn’t survive before.

AI Generated Content Disclosure

The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this:

Iron & Instinct is made by a small, self-funded team with no dedicated artist. We used generative AI tools to help create some of the game’s art: monster designs were generated or adapted with AI image tools to match the game’s art style, and character sprite animations were produced with AI-assisted animation tools

Name of AI model included with the game: Claude (Anthropic) for code; Gemini (Google) for art; AutoSprite for sprite animation. All used during development only. No AI runs during gameplay.
