About This Game

Iron Core: Mech Survivor is a single-player roguelike top-down action game that combines the shrinking safe zones of battle royale, the strategic elements of tower defense, and the fast-paced gameplay of survivor-like games. The shrinking safe zone limits player movement but can be expanded through mining tasks. Meanwhile, resources are more abundant outside the zone, creating a high-risk, high-reward system that offers a fresh and thrilling experience for fans of roguelike and survivor games.

A Post-Apocalyptic Tale of AI and Humanity

Ever heard a story of AI in a post-apocalyptic world? In Iron Core, AIs have guarded humanity’s last shelter for over a century, waiting for survivors. Each AI has its personality and motivations, but they are united by one mission: to save humanity and rebuild a shattered world—or so it seems. Featuring full voiceovers, rich storytelling, and subtitles, this narrative will keep you hooked.

High-Intensity Roguelike Survivor Action

Take control of advanced AI mechs, wield both melee and ranged weapons, upgrade elemental bullets, unleash devastating artillery strikes, summon laser drones, and trigger massive AoE soundwave attacks. With a variety of powerful skills and dazzling effects, battles fill the screen with chaos. Upgrade through card draws, but only the luckiest players will make it to the end.

Rescue Missions and Mech Progression

Complete exciting missions to strengthen your mech. Destroy mutant nests, rescue and escort human survivors, establish satellite links for advanced weaponry, help rogue labs develop doomsday weapons, or repair broken bridges to rebuild the world. Every mission brings new challenges and rewards.

Reactor, Resource Gathering, and Safe Zones

Under constant attacks from mutants, gather radioactive fuel, deploy mining drones, and transport reactor fuel back to your base. Power up the reactor to activate the climate control system and expand the safe zone. The farther you venture from the zone, the more resources you’ll find—but the risks grow exponentially.

Tower Defense: Use Terrain to Your Advantage

Strategically build various towers to aid your missions. Some towers annihilate enemies, while others slow them down. Smart use of terrain and towers will make even the toughest missions easier to handle.

Launch Content

The initial release will include:

  • 3 Maps

  • 3 Mechs with unique weapon loadouts

  • 5 Types of Defense Towers

  • 20 Enemy Types

  • 3 Boss-Level Elite Enemies

Prepare for a fast-paced, immersive, and strategic survivor-roguelike experience like no other!
