IronWood
SteamYou awaken from your primordial slumber as an age old tree. Filled with vengeance and wrath, you seek to destroy the invaders of your peaceful dwelling and return order to the natural world. The Children of Vangarod are seeking to resurrect an ancient and evil Lovecraftian deity to fulfill their wicked prophecies, and they have summoned you by mistake. Purge them and their vile creations from these lands and put a stop to the age of chaos and violence brought about by the resurrection of Vangarod by any means necessary.


The enemies you'll encounter in IronWood vary, from regular cultist foot soldiers and healers, to more mythical and unearthly monsters that require the player exercise high caution. Be prepared to face powerful foes and unimaginable creatures!

In IronWood you travel through diverse environments filled to the brim with enemies, structures, and secrets. Prepare to cross through rural environments like forests, swamps, caves, and many other breathtaking locations. Use the environment to your advantage to explode, combust, and crush enemies.

The 10+ weapons you will come across in IronWood mostly follow the norms previously set by other titans of the FPS genre, but there are a handful of weapons that break the mold and offer a unique combat experience. Expect to see your old favorites like pistols, shotguns, and rifles, along with new mythical and Lovecraftian armaments to add to your ever-growing arsenal. Weapons have unique ways to use them to take on enemies in the coolest way you can utilizing shotgun jumps, rapid fire, and rage abilities.

IronWood is for people longing for a boomer shooter with fast paced combat, and epic boss fights.
