'Iron Conflict' Early Access Update Adds Helicopters

Iron Conflict is an online competitive real-time strategy game based on modern military warfare.

Featuring stunning graphics, 10v10 online battles and rich real-time strategy gameplay, the game will allow players to take command and experience warfare from a whole new perspective.

In Iron Conflict, players start by choosing three combat units to control from a mix of infantry, tanks, and planes. Different combat units have specific strengths and weaknesses – and they can be further customized through the use of tech trees, skills, and modules. As you’d expect from an online game, communication between teammates is key during battles. The actions of a single teammate can be the difference between glorious victory or abject defeat!

Made with Unreal 4, Iron Conflict features highly-detailed, historically accurate models, photo-realistic visuals, and awesome special effects that make players feel like they truly are in command of a powerful military force.

Iron Conflict boasts fan favorites, such as the Type 99 tank and the aforementioned F-35 – along with hundreds of other WWII airplanes and tanks. Map tiles, on the other hand, are randomized – making each battle different from the last. Terrain and buildings can obstruct both lines of sight and lines of fire – creating the opportunity for traps, escape, and exciting games of cat-and-mouse.

The Early Access version provides a complete game experience, including two complete factions, over ten different categories of units, hundreds of individual units, and basic system functions such as core game modes, maps, and an accessory system that allows players to outfit and customize their units.

The latest updates add helicopters to an already impressive collection of units composed of real-life weapons of war spanning from the beginning of the Cold War through the present day. These units can be customized with modules, accessories, and different ammunition types to enhance their abilities, allowing players to tailor them to their individual playstyles. Both in-game factions have received three helicopter units each.

The helicopters added to the Dragon Faction include the WZ-9, WZ-10, and WZ-19 “Black Whirlwind.” Meanwhile, helicopters added to the Eagle Faction include the AH-1F, the AH-1G, and the AH-1Z Cobra-series helicopters.

Excelling at anti-ground warfare, players can equip each helicopter with special accessories that enhance tactical uniqueness in combat. These special accessories include a variety of rockets, air-to-air missiles, and air-to-surface anti-tank missiles.

The update also includes bug fixes, optimizations, and new exciting skins that give players yet another way to personalize their Iron Conflict experience.

Since its Early Access release on January 8, the game has received a steady stream of updates that offer new content and address feedback from players. In mid-January, Angela Game released a brand-new desert map called Dustwater, with ravines, tight passageways, and a town in which players wage close-quarters tactical warfare against one another.

In the future, the game will continue to receive updates, adding content such as new gameplay modes, new factions, new units, new maps, new events, and balance tweaks to ensure that each unit remains viable and unique.

Iron Conflict is available through Steam Early Access for $14.99.

Key Features:

  • High-impact RTS combat featuring 3v3, 5v5, and 10v10 competitive matches.
  • Endlessly replayable with randomized maps.
  • Scout units help you find the enemy before they find you!
  • Hundreds of real-life airplanes and tanks – including bombers, fighters, anti-tank vehicles, anti-air batteries, and more!
