About Iron Defense
Iron Defense is a one-screen defense shooter set in an industrial scrapyard. Hold a turret on a scrap wall while waves of junk robots march in from the right. Hold to fire, and drag fire, ice and lightning abilities onto the field. Between stages, spend salvaged gold and crystals on your turret, the wall, an electrified floor and auto-gun pylons. Fight through a 100-stage campaign with bosses, then climb the endless stages to see how far a fully upgraded defense can hold.
Expect arcade at its core, with a streak of tower defense and shooter woven through the design. Check the opening instructions for the controls supported by this browser edition.
Two quick pointers before you dive deep: If movement and aiming are separate controls, practice combining them before a difficult encounter. If the game has cover, compare what you can see from each position before moving out.
