Description

Iron Soul : Awakening is a 3rd person Action-Platformer. The enemies in the game are man-made robots known as NROs and use a unique AI system to challenge any player used to other 3rd person shooters. They are meant to engage player in a way that FPS games like Quake 3 and original UT did.

- H25 is our silent protagonist. He is a machine that was specifically made by a brilliant professor in order to stop an impending robot menace. The more ironic part is that most enemies are also his creations that got hacked and stolen.

- We all have little voices inside our heads. Iron Soul's main campaign with the small bonus section take full advantage of that. After all, even a silent robot like H25 is not immune to an inner voice. The questions is whether or not he listens to it.

- The camera and control design for moving and non-aim mode abandons the more popular method of modern titles and instead goes for the more platformer friendly look / move scheme of classics like MDK.

- There are unique 3 difficulty levels which are not just changes in enemy health. Each level, each platform and each combat situation has been carefully designed based on either of 3 difficulty levels.

- The defeated enemies usually explode a few seconds after death. Not only this method is used for removing / hiding enemy bodies, it can be a rather twisted punishment for impatient and careless players.
