About This Game

Ironbound is a turn-based tactical duel game built around RPG class identities and deep itemization. You shape your hero through equipment, not deck building, and develop your play style across matches rather than rogue-like runs.

Learn each class, then shape how it fights through weapons, shields and magic trinkets. Equipment can fundamentally change a hero’s play style. Your opponent’s visible gear lets you read their strategy and plan your response, rather than guess what might be hidden in their deck. Spend your action points well and land the strike that ends it.

FIVE HEROES, FIVE WAYS TO FIGHT

Choose your RPG archetype: the aggressive Berserker, the resilient Crusader, the stealthy Assassin, the cunning Witch or the chaotic Pirate. Each class has its own identity, strengths and abilities to master. Learn how they fight, recognize what makes them dangerous, and discover how different equipment can turn a familiar opponent into a very different challenge.

BUILD YOUR HERO

Your equipment shapes the way you fight. Gold earned in matches upgrades your character and buys weapons, shields and magic trinkets, opening up new combinations to explore. Itemization can fundamentally change how a class plays: build around its natural strengths or take it in a different direction. Your opponent’s equipped items are visible, so learning the gear helps you read their strategy and plan your response. You build a hero through equipment, not a deck of hidden surprises.

CLIMB THE LADDER

Put your hero and your knowledge to the test in turn-based online duels against real players. Read the opposing equipment, manage your action points, and decide when to attack, defend or commit to a decisive strike. Rise through the ranks as you learn the matchups and refine your setup. When you want to experiment with unfamiliar equipment or get to know another class, practice against the computer in single-player matches before taking your strategy online.

FREE TO PLAY

Ironbound is free to play. Character upgrades and combat equipment are earned through play; optional purchases are cosmetic skins for your hero’s crest and the Supporter Pack, which places a Supporter badge beside your name on the ladder. Nothing you can buy makes your hero stronger. Your advantage comes from understanding the classes, choosing your equipment and knowing how to use it.
