IRON CRYPTICLE forges it way onto PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Steam (PC) in July 2017!


To survive past the Guardians of each floor, you'll need to upgrade your abilities! Speed, Damage, Fire Rate and Weapon Duration can all be upgraded either from shops or through careful chaining of food pickups.

Most enemies drop a food item (cake, sweets, fast-food, fruit...). You must try to balance chain-collecting these, against fighting off the hordes of enemies.

Route selection is very important too, with each floor made up of a branching system of different rooms. Each room type has their advantages and disadvantages - plus with each playthrough the rooms all shift about and reform, just to keep you on your toes!

To aid you on your quest there are a range of weapons, magical scrolls and items to unlock. For close combat emergencies you can rely on your dash move for a quick escape, or activate your Atomic Fist to punch a hole in the enemy ranks.

Be sure to visit the cat merchant to see what is on offer. Or try the arcade room to earn extra coins and health. You can play solo or up to 4 player local CO-OP; either way you`ll find the crypts run deep with many secrets to uncover on your adventures in IRON CRYPTICLE.
