Iron Danger
Iron Danger is a “real-time” isometric tactical game. It’s not exactly an RPG, and it’s not exactly a squad game, either. Real-time is in quotes for a reason. What it does have is a really cool time manipulating combat system that works really well. It is neat to play around with. Special thanks to swaswj…

People have gone back to pen and paper and doing things by hand. No more computers running things. Of course, there are hints of advanced technology,…
