Iron Assault

About Iron Assault

Iron Assault is a fast-paced side-scrolling sci-fi shooter in which you fight through 20 campaign missions across military bases, industrial platforms, frozen docks, neon city districts, and more, with intense gunplay and platforming.

Iron Assault is a single-player sci-fi shooter built around tight combat missions, presented from a side-scrolling perspective. Across 20 campaign missions you move through military outposts, industrial platforms, frozen docks, neon city districts, and railgun emplacements, eventually assaulting the Hive fortress. The player can run, jump, crouch, and go prone, and can use four weapon types with different firing styles — rifles, scatter weapons, rapid-fire guns, and cannons — picked up on the battlefield to suit different combat situations. Enemies include patrolling infantry, ranged squads, flying drones, environmental hazards, and powerful bosses. The game is a fully offline single-player experience with all assets stored locally; it supports keyboard and mouse and runs on Windows PC. It was developed by solo developer Jinfeng Cai and released on Steam on August 30, 2026, priced at ¥42. The interface supports Simplified Chinese, but audio and subtitles are in English; there is no Chinese voice-over or full localization. Generative AI tools were used during development to assist with code and art asset creation.
