Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
88 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Despite enjoyable progression and action-packed combat, Iron Brigade remains a flawed, annoying, jury-rigged TD/Shooter hybrid ultimately not worth your time.
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
88 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It's a TPS, coop Tower defense mech game that is an absolute blast to play.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
50 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Retro-futuristic ambience are fine depicted, the plot is fresh and with certain humour sense.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
44 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Many of the weapons have special abilities like piercing or richocet too.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
19 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Graphics are cool, but may require a bit excessive hardware to run without crashes.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
16 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I do very much miss playing this game when it was current; Back when I got to people watch with randoms all day and every run was 3-4 players which allowed you to see a variety of playstyles, a variety of game experience on display, and a solid high difficulty as difficulty scales with player count.
