Unto The End

Finished Iron Blight tonight. I really enjoyed it. It's a retro visual FPS survival horror game. You shoot zombies in the face. But it's TENSE. Guns, ammo and items are scarce. You really have to scavenge and search every nook for items. The mechanics and game loop are tight and enjoyable. Combat isn't face paced like Quake. It's slower and deliberate. Reloads take time. Weapon switches take time. You can handle 1-2 zombies pretty well but any more, you better have some distance and a shotgun with lots of ammo. Lots of guns to find and even some weapon mods to boost them. Inventory space is limited so you often have hard choices to make. The level design is great. The game is pretty big. Took me 7-8 hours to finish it. No HUD, no ammo counters. Really immersive. Weapons can jam. There are some puzzles and items to grab to pass doors or blocked paths in the game (keys, blowtorch, hammers, lockpicks, etc etc). Be careful playing and looking for items. I had a couple cases where I missed a key (small and even though they glow, they can be easy to miss). And it's sometimes unclear where to use a key you found. Still, the levels are fun to roam around it. No loads and it all seemed like one large world. Recommended if you like retro visuals, a little indie jank, but mainly, tense zombie action. Once you are 20-30m into the game it will have you. It's sold well with over 1000 reviews on Steam so that says a lot. Enjoy. store.steampowered.com/app/4…
