Ironguard is one such title where the comparisons are both expected – and very well deserved. From Aegon Games comes a FPS roguelite with bullet-hell-like gameplay. Sounds a little like Tower of Guns, no?

The game features a fun roguelike experience with a good variety of weapons and perks that keep each run interesting.
Smooth gameplay with tight and responsive controls enhances the fast-paced dungeon crawler FPS experience.
The art style is minimal and visually appealing, allowing players to focus on the action rather than the environment.

The game is relatively short, with some players feeling that once completed, there is little incentive to replay due to repetitive room designs.
There are balance issues and the overall difficulty may be too easy for some players, with health replenishing quickly from defeating enemies.
Currently, the game lacks content and variety compared to similar titles, leading some to recommend waiting for a sale or more updates before purchasing.
