Iron Guard

Iron Guard is a sci-fi tower defense game in the spirit of classic RTS games. As first officer Graves, you protect the surviving crew of the Avalon after it crash-lands on the planet Akris, and work to evacuate them. You must defend the crew and secure resources from the terraformer robots that have gone rogue, while finding out what caused their rebellion and why they did not complete the terraformation.

The crash on Akris

The story takes place in 2232 A.D. The Avalon crew was investigating why an earlier drone ship carrying AI terraformer bots had lost contact when they crashed on Akris. The planet is habitable because the terraformer ship and its AI bots had made it sustainable for life. The story unfolds through cutscenes and dialogue.

Defend the crew

You use an engineering drone to build structures, erect defensive turrets and gather resources. The game has multiple upgradeable turrets, path blockers and mining harvesters, as well as non-linear equipment upgrades between missions. You can also control an upgradeable drone in arcade-style shooting, using conventional or super weapons.

Modes and environments

The game offers different modes and styles, with battles across several biomes on Akris. Its environments have a stylized look and a mysterious atmosphere, accompanied by music and voice acting.
