Check out the gameplay trailer of Iron Danger. featuring osme gameplay footage:
“The world of Iron Danger draws its inspiration from Nordic mythos, and especially from Kalevala and Finnish folklore. It tells a story of Kipuna, a simple village girl, who becomes imbued with a cosmic power that grants dominion over time and death. The group of unsung heroes, led by Kipuna, must use their wits and power over the time as they’re drawn into the midst of a war between the city of Kalevala, ruled by an immortal, who has renounced the gods, and the armies of the Northlanders driven by their Witch Queen.
Story
In an age before the hatching of the universe, an age that lives only in myth, a primal power arises to forge the future of mankind. Sought by demigods and sorcerers, the mightiest champions and destroyers, this power and the duty it entails fall upon the frail shoulders of a young girl.
Iron Danger is a trailblazing tactical action adventure game. It’s set in a world of magic and machinery that draws on the one hand from the Nordic myths that inspired J.R.R. Tolkien’s epic fantasy, and from modern steampunk and tech noir influences on the other. In this fresh fantasy world of warrior shamans and machine fumes, you take on the role of Kipuna, a simple village girl, who becomes imbued with a cosmic power that grants dominion over time and death. You must use your wits to control it as you’re drawn into the midst of a war between the city of Kalevala, and the armies of the Northlanders driven by their witch queen Lowhee. Your task is to master the power, in order to use it for mankind’s protection, when your enemies will seek to harness it in the service of total destruction.
On your quest, you will have to channel the power in the form of ever-mightier magic, and to fight against relentless enemies, outnumbered and overmatched. You will die. Repeatedly. But you cannot let that stop you.
Iron Danger will be released for PC, PS4 and Xbox One.
