Ironbound

Ironbound is a turn-based tactical duel game built around RPG classes and equipment. You shape your hero with weapons, shields and magic trinkets rather than building a deck, and develop your play style across matches instead of through roguelike runs. In online duels, you manage action points, read your opponent’s visible gear and choose when to attack, defend or commit to a decisive strike.

Five hero classes

Choose from five RPG archetypes, each with its own identity, strengths and abilities to master: the aggressive Berserker, resilient Crusader, stealthy Assassin, cunning Witch or chaotic Pirate. Learning how each class fights helps you recognize its threats, while different equipment can make a familiar opponent a very different challenge.

Shape your hero

Gold earned in matches lets you upgrade your character and buy weapons, shields and magic trinkets. Equipment opens up new combinations and can fundamentally change how a class plays: you can build around its natural strengths or take it in a different direction. Because opponents’ equipped items are visible, you can learn to read their strategies and plan a response rather than guess what is hidden in a deck.

Online and single-player duels

Fight other players in turn-based online duels and climb the ranks as you learn matchups and refine your setup. You can also play single-player matches against the computer to try unfamiliar equipment or get to know another class before taking your strategy online.

Progression and purchases

Character upgrades and combat equipment are earned through play. Optional purchases are limited to cosmetic skins for your hero’s crest and the Supporter Pack, which adds a Supporter badge beside your name on the ladder; purchases do not make your hero stronger.
