A modern mix inspired by arcade classics
We are big fans of arcade video games by the end of the 80/90 's early years with which we grew up and we hope this notice in our game.
We could summarize Iron Crypticle as a game structured around the heart of Smash TV/Robotron, enriched by a collection of inspired Bubble Bobble/Rainbow Islands and placed in a medieval context as Ghosts and Goblins/Gauntlet.
Gameplay features
The first rooms where you'll come across will seem all too easy, but if you want to pass the Guardian Monster of each floor, you strengthen your skills.
Speed, damage, rate of fire and durability of weapons can be upgraded in stores or by concatenating the food crops.
Most enemies drop a dish (delicious cheese, slices of cake, candy, hot dogs, fruit ...) that you'll have to maneuver to collect, all making you way through hordes of creepy creatures.
The choice of course is very important, because each plan has a branched system of rooms. Each room has its own advantages and disadvantages. Also, each game rooms will change shape, just to keep you on your toes!
To help you in your mission, you will find a selection of weapons, magic scrolls and items to unlock. For emergencies during the close-quarter combat, you can rely on your dash to escape, or activate your Atomic Fist to punch a hole between the enemy ranks.
Visit the cat merchant to find out what it has to offer. Or, try the room arcade to get coins and extra health.
You can play alone or up to 4 players in local co-op. In any case, you will discover that the crypts are very deep and there are plenty of secrets to uncover in Iron Crypticle.
