🧩 Ironcast (2015, PC) What happens when you mix mech-combat, roguelike strategy and match-3 puzzling? An addictive and surprisingly deep game, that's what! www.thepixelempire.net/ironcast-pc-...

holy shit what console was that on? Ai love that idea. Ironcast is a hella fun rogue-like with these aesthetics if you haven’t played it.

23) Ironcast A much older game, but if you ever wanted 'FTL but steampunk mechs with match-3 mechanics' this is it. Not nearly as deep or as difficult as FTL, but a very solid game that thoroughly explores its mechanics.

Satisfying Noises: The Game ( a.k.a. #Ironcast for #NintendoSwitch ) Went back to this just to confirm that shotcannons are the best way to win every fight, but having reflective shields does help.

Shocking absolutely no one, I'm streaming again on a Thursday since I have Fridays off all this month. This time, however, it's a game I haven't played in a hot minute. It's Ironcast! ∞🐍∞ A war with mecha, With both sides ever at odds. ... It is not Gundam. www.twitch.tv/hamelinprize

Holy shit me home town in a video game. I think Ironcast (a steampunk puzzle game from a few years back) also mentioned Southend if I recall correctly!

Steam achievements wise: Ironcast - a match 3 mech game. Played it a bunch while listening to podcasts so yeah. Sexy Brutale - story based groundhog day game and it was neat. Had god of weapons 100% achievements but then an update came out and added +20.

But if i had a serious answer, i think it has to go to a game called Ironcast, i killed the true final boss by the absolute skin of my teeth, risking more than 3 overheats cutting into my HP, putting me in killing range & ending the run. The boss by sheer chance missed their shot & i won due to it.

On the much lighter side is the mech-puzzlequest inspired game Ironcast which messes with some of the matching stuff you'd expect a little with some new ideas, and its steampunk mechs in Victorian England! store.steampowered.com/app/327670/I...
