Overview:
Years
ago I played the demo for Iron Blood and I loved it. The only
drawback was that it was only the first two levels, which
are pretty easy to beat. I've recently found the full version,
and here it is for you to enjoy.
The
game is quite simple - choose one of the two characters and
kill enemies. The two characters each play different games.
The levels look the same (background, enemies) but are structured
differently. The two choices are similar but have different
weapons and aerial maneuvers. The red guy, Roy Fregun, has
a jet pack while the blue guy, Sedrin Cleis, can do multiple
jumps. Their options, which are like little helpers that fire
at enemies, also differ.
Power
ups are important. There are 16 power up levels. At certain
levels you get new weapons or upgrades on current weapons.
Power ups are dropped by enemies, who also drop health and
the option power up, a special power up that activates your
option sidekick.
Hint:
On the first level, the boss is the tall fire shooting turret
on the right wall at the end. Don't be fooled by the little
flying things coming from the other room, you need to blow
up the turret to finish the level.
The
controls for Iron Blood are as follows. The left and right
arrow keys are move, while up and down are used to move your
gun up and down. I say gun because this only works for the
attacks in which you fire something, and now punch, which
is done with the other arm. Ctrl is jump, and holding it with
Roy Fregun activates the jet pack. For Sedrin Cleis, you have
to hit Ctrl once he is in the air to get him do jump again
in midair. Alt is attack. Space switches weapons. Enter shows
your power up level. Pressing left and right at the same time
twice makes you dash, and as far as I can see can only be
done with Roy Fregun. Dash is when you use your jet pack on
the ground, giving you a burst of speed. In the levels in
which you fly through the air, Alt and Ctrl are both fire,
but Ctrl will turn you to the left and fire that way, while
Alt will turn you to the right and fire right. Note that you
can't use punch while flying.
On
the technical side, F1 will pause, F2 will toggle music, F3
will toggle sound effects, and F10 will quit the game and
return to the main menu.
