Iron Frame: S

Summary of Story:

This is a top-down wave survival and progression game set in a world overrun by hostile machines. Players fight through three distinct combat zones: Desert Junkyard, Acid Sewers, and Cyberpunk City.  As waves increase in difficulty, players must rely on movement, positioning, and adaptability to survive against growing mechanical opposition. Progression is structured through advancing sectors, culminating in a final confrontation that hints at a much larger conflict beyond the scope of the current level. The experience focuses on sustained combat, rising tension, and environmental contrast, blending arcade-style survival with a darker sci-fi atmosphere.

Controls:

•   WASD =  Player Movement
•  Mouse = Player Aim
•  Left mouse click = shoot range weapon
•  Right mouse click = mele attack
• Left Shift = Dash Ability
•  Tab = Pause

Features:

Wave based gameplay -  Rounds of enemies spawn to try and kill you, destroy them all to move onto the next wave and clear enough waves to access the next area.

Upgradable systems - Collect Experience Batteries to level up, and then choose between randomly selected upgrades like Increased Damage, Reduced cooldowns, longer dashes, and more!

Weapon swapping - Explore different themed levels to find new melee and ranged weapons, but be careful because when you collect one, there's no going back!

Passive Weapon - Keep an eye on the cooldown meter in the player HUD for a passive cooldown, every time it goes off, any enemies in range get targeted for an orbital laser strike.
