![]() And god damn, did the writers really fuck with me. What they got were one of the original 20 legions of the Chaos Space Marines, the Iron Warriors. However, they were not the Blood Angels, nor were they the Dark Angels. However, this day was the day to play the worst game of “fuck around and find out,” because what the Astra Militarum remnants got were definitely Space Marines. The governor was killed, and the priest got to work trying to get the saviors to the planet. The priest let everyone who was left know of an old ritual that was going to call back the “angels of death” that would help in humanity’s darkest hour. ![]() The governor of the planet is a coward, and was letting the Drukhari ransack the planet so he can live. We have nameless battle #394584235 between Drukhari raiders and the remnants of the Astra Militarum force defending this planet. More than likely, it’s canon or fits right inside the canon.Īnd that’s where we find ourselves in Iron Within, the latest feature from Warhammer Studios and Storyforge. That said, the great thing about Warhammer, just like the greatest space opera of all time, you can pick a moment and location, and just start writing. From experience, if you think Star Wars has an expansive lore catalog, do not pick up Warhammer. I’m still very ignorant to the ins and outs of a lot of what’s been going on throughout the 35 years of lore. I would never describe myself as a Warhammer lore librarian. This new look into a different part of the Grim Dark Future of the 41st Millennium gives an entirely brand new look into things. They’ve proven it during Hammer and Bolter, as well as Interrogator. Iron Marines can’t beat you.If there’s anything that Warhammer’s Storyforge team is good for, it’s their ability to take a small tidbit of a story, and zoom in like it’s a picture on a cell phone. It takes the established system of Kingdom Rush and turns it on its head, while adding new and interesting combat and gameplay mechanics.ĭoes Iron Marines get frustrating due to the enemies’ strength? Yes, but it is a conquerable frustration – you’ll become annoyed, but it will drive you to win the level, just to prove it to yourself. This player agency is what allows Iron Marines to be more than just a strategy shooter game. This balancing and ability to make choices sets Iron Marines apart from other games of similar genres, as it gives the player agency. When your hero is all about destroying the fast droves, you can recruit units from the base that focus on the hard, heavy hitters. The variety always ensures you can pick the types of units you want to recruit to compensate for your heroes deficiencies. Some are heavy hitters, others specialize in close range combat, whereas others are all about hitting the small, fast enemies that rush you. Heroes work in exactly the same way as in Kingdom Rush, providing differing types of fire support and damage bonuses, with a myriad of options allowing you to pick the type of hero you want to attack with. ![]() To ameliorate these problems, Iron Marines gives you heroes. You don’t realize it, but it was an incredibly helpful feature of Kingdom Rush. This lack of information makes it frustrating as you don’t know how exactly far along the level you are. To make it worse, there is no notification of exactly how many enemies or of what types are incoming. This ever-present feeling of more enemies’ incoming makes you feel incredibly hard pressed, most different from the comparably relaxing experience of Kingdom Rush. In Iron Marines, you’re constantly on the attack, even when you’re forced to defend a position, meaning the enemies will feel unstoppable. In Kingdom Rush, you’re defending your territory from enemies, allowing you to react to the enemy’s movements and play on the defensive. The significant difference from Kingdom Rush is the intense challenge of every single level. Some squads are equipped with higher firepower and longer reload times, whereas others are snipers meant to pick off medium targets at a long range before they can even hit you. Similar to Kingdom Rush, there are a huge variety of enemies with strengths and weaknesses that different squads are capable of killing. To that end, you deploy on a planet and begun to construct squads of firing units to fight against the enemy multitudes. Iron Marines form a special unit designed to assault any alien incursions on outlying planets. ![]() Instead of the glorious medieval towers, defending against hordes of enemy assailants rampaging down your lines and depleting your health, this time you’re the attacker on an alien world.
