About this game

Pilot and customize a giant iron war mech in this alternate medieval history! In 1182 AD, the Papacy, the Caliphate, and the Mongols are at war, and they all have mechs--hulking war robots, powered by energy from mysterious "skystone" meteorites.

Ironheart is a 250,000-word interactive novel by Lee Williams. It’s entirely text-based, without graphics or sound effects, and fueled by the vast, unstoppable power of your imagination.

Our story begins in the far future, on a space mission to intercept a comet that can open wormholes through space and time. When your ship and the crew are sucked in and thrown backward through time, you awake from cryogenic suspension in 1182--at the height of the Third Crusade.

Trapped in the past, you must choose sides in the mech war between Saladin's Caliphate, the Catholic Papacy, and Genghis Khan's Mongolian Golden Horde.

Will you search doggedly for the rest of your crew or focus your energies on helping one of the factions in the war that rages around you? Do you seek to unite a divided land? Or use your advanced knowledge to gain wealth and power for yourself?

Along the way, you may meet historical figures such as Saladin, fight off attacks from the notorious order of Assassins and the secretive Knights Templar, or even take part in a grand tournament of mechs!

What new future will you forge now that the old one is gone?

Ratings and reviews

Fantastic! By far one of the most original stories I've read. The idea of Gundams in Kingdom of Heaven seems silly but it works so damn well. The game itself can be difficult, especially when it comes to judging stats. But after a few false starts it falls into place. The characters are also exceptional. I love the combination of action and management. Perfectly handled. I also sincerely hope the author writes some normal novels using this world. It needs more.

Storyline was decent, a little hard to follow at times, especially for those who didn't excel in medieval history or the alike. The storyline seem too short on certain subjects/choices that go against the main story, like trying to get back home or can't even try to finish a promise you made to a knight, without putting others at risk and romance is either just one night stands or meaningful ones are at the very end of the story and at Which seems to be rushed; to conclude the storyline. 4 out 5

Man! This game STARTS OUT so good! It is a real crime that the ends seems rushed and just doesn't fit together very well. Things are set up VERY nicely in the beginning, but about the time the tournament starts... it's over! I wish they would have just took their time, made it as long as it needed to be, and done it justice. SEVERELY DISAPPOINTED!!!
