Jan. 2025

There are two of these games: Iron Fisticle Iron Crypticle This one is the first of the two. Simple wholesome twinsticking fun - there are some levelling up elements but definitely not a roguelike, just minor progressions that add more weapons/haelth as you play more. It's fun for some casual shooting and can be played with same-pc friends.

I'll be honest, I only bought the game for the cheese Steam profile background and cheese emoticon which I infuriatingly learned you need to play 2 hours of the game to unlock the backgrounds that come with it. So I launched the game and decided to give it a shot only to realise it does not fullscreen properly on my 4k monitor and the windowed version is not custom sizeable enough to fill the screen. That's very, very frustrating which lead me to just leave the game running in main menu for 2 hours to get my sweet sweet cheese background and cheese emoticon. While I will likely not play the game due to the screen sizing issue, I will still recommend this game as it comes with a wonderful cheese background and cheese emoticon, worth it for the price I payed.

Great twinstick shooter with both a rougelite (classic, with permanent upgrades and floor selection for casuals) and rougelike (challenge, go from 1st floor with no upgrades) modes, along with the 3 classic difficulty options. All of these modes and difficulties (and also coop) have high score boards that are still functional today. Only real complaint would be that during the bonus platforming minigame and shopping it sometimes accidentally buys/jumps when imputting movement directions, but outside of that the game is amazing.

9/10 I enjoy loading this now and then for a Smash TV style game. It's pretty simplistic/arcadey, but fine for the price. Very cool game and I thought it was much harder but after you enter the game and play, it's really very interesting, I want part 2!

Great combination of smash tv and gauntlet. Everything about this is excellent. Simple easy game-play, great 80s tunes and super polished level design. Turn on the screen filters and get ready for arcade greatness!
