Overview
Description

In Iron Soul, humanity discovers a perfect planet and creates an army of indestructible metal soldiers to defend against an impending alien invasion. As the machines begin to rebel, a brilliant scientist must lead the fight to stop the bot-mageddon and save the new world. The game blends fast‑paced shooting, platforming, and hack‑and‑slash combat in a sci‑fi indie setting, delivering a solo experience that challenges players to master both ranged and melee tactics against relentless foes.

Metal Arms: Glitch in the System puts you in the metal boots of Glitch, a witty robot battling the tyrannical General Corrosive and his army of Milbots. Set across vibrant sci‑fi arenas, the game blends fast‑paced shooting with puzzle‑like platforming and a tongue‑in‑cheek storyline. The title delivers a blend of humor and high‑octane action, featuring a variety of weapons, upgradeable droids, and boss encounters that keep the gameplay fresh from start to finish.
