  • Summary: Western Germany, March 1964...The last Great War continues to rage on. All you have ever known is the madness of the front lines and of men butchering each other. War-torn Europe stands ripped apart by a front line that runs straight through the heart of Germany where American and Western European troops battle against enemy forces. In an eternal war that seems to have no end in sight, opposing forces mercilessly attack each other with unrelenting force, claiming small victories one day only to lose them the next. As Lieutenant James Anderson you must infiltrate and destroy key enemy positions deep behind enemy lines using your sharpened combat skills and stealth where necessary. If successful, your mission could finally put a stop to the carnage and restore what everybody has long since forgotten about: peace. Alternative history: between reality and fiction, Iron Storm takes place in an imaginary environment which has been inspired by real events. Iron Storm takes real elements from the First World War; trenches, barbed wire fences, mines, gas warfare, snipers?and combines them with more modern elements from the Second World War; automatic weapons, radar, tanks, flame throwers? as well as elements inspired by modern warfare; helicopters, lasers, electronics and more.

  1. The story is what really what makes Iron Storm rock!
  2. You might find Iron Storm too hard at times this will probably get you more addicted to its gloomy, hopeless and war-torn game world than anything else. Make no mistake about it; this is a tough shooter to beat.
  3. What hurts this game more than anything else, is that it could have been so much better.
  4. Though it sets up nicely with a strong storyline, it really just becomes another mission-based shooter game.

    The game has alot of problems, like people snipers shooting you and you get killed by one shot and you dont know where it came from. it was very annoying. The graphics are good. and so is the sound. What I really like about this game is that I really got into the atmosphere of the game. Overall I would recommend this game, despite some problems. Expand

    I've never tried the multiplayer so I can't say if its good or bad. The single player is very hard and the graphics are looking dated. However, it has an intriguing story and an atmosphere that is almost unique. In it's time the game gad something of a cult following, but today it's largely forgotten. Expand

    Despite a strong "what-if" story, the game itself feels like it was released 6 months too early. Wait until they fix the install-stopping, game-stopping, gameplay-stopping bugs before considering this as your next purchase. Expand
