A decent strategy puzzle-RPG that displays all the good bits and mitigates the bad ones, pip pip.
"Ironcast" is a single-player turn-based strategy game, set in a Victorian era alternate history, where players control giant walking war machines. Combat is inspired by resource management, with a roguelite campaign mode that offers high replayability and permanent death, but persistent rewards. The game boasts excellent graphics, music, and atmospheric setting, though some bugs and grinding may be present.

Critic Reviews
Ironcast Review
Ironcast is the very definition of the saying "easy to pick up, difficult to master". The world, the characters and the art style are all top notch and really serve to draw you in, and once you are in, the compulsion to just have one more go is almost irresistible. The gameplay is balanced very nicely and we can't not recommend it, with only the freezes and crashes to really report as drawbacks. If you are looking for a puzzle game for your Xbox One, look no further than this. Picking it up would be a capital idea, what what?

Fans of mechs and match three will find a lot to like in Ironcast, but even they will eventually tire of the repeating missions and random nature of the game.
