Ripstone

In this Steampunk alternative version of Victorian Britain, bloody war is waged by noble men and women in mecha. Ironcast is a puzzle fighter developed by Dreadbit and published by Ripstone, with layer upon layer of strategy, rich customisation and a healthy peppering of roguelike brutality. Having had almost a full years run on the PC with a positive reception, this war is making it’s way to next gen consoles in the first week of March. This title is way more then meets the eye and I for one had a real blast with it… Pun intended.

The year is 1886 and Britain is in the midst of an all out invasion from the French. The two nations have been at war for many years over a precious energy source named voltite, created by the French and dishonestly obtained by the English. Bad show old bean, that’s just not cricket. The mechanised monstrosities, known as Ironcast, named after the method in which they are manufactured were conceived in a desperate attempt to break the stalemate and end this conflict for good. These 7 metre tall walking death dealers are piloted by society’s elite noble men and women, known as Commanders in the Consortium of Merit. Waging bloody war in service to Queen and country.
