Iron Danger is a steampunk action role-playing video game developed by Action Squad Studios and published by Daedalic Entertainment.[1] The game is set in a fantasy steampunk world inspired by Finnish folklore and especially the national epic, Kalevala. The central game mechanic is trance mode, dubbed by some as a version of "save scumming", where the player can rewind time and retry moments of the game at the player's command.[2] The game was released for Windows on March 25, 2020, and for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S on August 16, 2023.[3][4]
Reception
Iron Danger received "mixed or average reviews".[5] PCGamesN's review said, "Save scumming is not only okay – it's now an elegant puzzle-solving game mechanic".[6]
Iron Danger was awarded the Creative Achievement Of The Year at Finnish game Awards 2021.[7]
