Prepare to face the beast under the full moon in Dead Iron, a wave-based horde survival FPS that plunges players into a grim Western setting. Blackreach Gulch has fallen to a terrifying onslaught of werewolves, transforming its moonlit streets into a blood-soaked battleground.

You aren't a chosen hero, but a survivor driven by a thirst for vengeance, armed with "irons that don't miss. " The core gameplay loop revolves around fending off relentless waves of these half-man, half-monster creatures, each kill earning you "blood money" to fuel your fight.
