Reviews

“Iro Hero es un juego que podría haber llegado perfectamente hace treinta años, y aún así sigue encajando bien. A veces deja una sensación familiar que nos hace pensar que llevamos jugando toda la vida, pero sus añadidos en forma de historia y sobre todo la novedad de cambiar la polarización de nuestra nave, son alicientes que le enseñan a algunos juegos muy bien valorados como podrían haber hecho las cosas.”
7.9 – IGN Spain

“Son gameplay précis et nerveux en fait un excellent jeu qui vous donnera du fil à retordre avec ses changements de polarité et sa difficulté croissante qui ajoute pas mal de nouveautés au concept original.”
80 – Switch fan

“Iro Hero is a great and challenging retro shoot-em-up. So if you’re into hard retro shmup games, then look no further than Iro Hero!”
4/5 – The Gaming Ground

About This Game

In a world where humans are used as power supplies, only one man has the will to change it all!


Iro Hero is a sci-fi adventure with beautiful pixel art graphics inspired by many old-school classics. Staged across 9 action-packed levels, Iro Hero features a unique and fresh four-color polarity system, with interactive elements, puzzles, color zones, weapon upgrades and special skills to unlock.

The action takes place in 2306, a century after the Nyagu taught mankind how to obtain electricity from their inner energy. Enterprises started to exploit humans in farms to produce energy. What had started as a gift became a curse, reducing people to nothing more than simple power supplies... Only when his mother dies in one of these farms, Iro realizes he has the power to change the order of things.

  • Defeat 10 final bosses in the vein of classic arcades.
