About the Game

“You don’t outrun the full moon. You load your irons and stand your ground.”

The night the wolves came, Blackreach Gulch died.
Now the town’s overrun—moonlit streets thick with blood, and beasts that don’t stop coming. Half man. Half monster. All teeth and hate.

You’re not a hero. Just a man with a score to settle and irons that don’t miss.

Dead Iron is a Western-themed, wave-based horde survival FPS. Fend off endless packs of werewolves. Earn blood money from every kill. Unlock haunted parts of the town as you fight your way uphill toward the final boss waiting in the church under the full moon.

💀 FEATURES

  • Survive the Full Moon: Fight through escalating waves of feral werewolves in tight, atmospheric environments.

  • Kill for Cash: Earn money from each kill to unlock weapons, upgrades, and new sections of the map.

  • Cold Irons, Hot Lead: Arm yourself with western classics — revolvers, shotguns, and bare knuckles 

  • Final Reckoning: Face the alpha beast at the old church on the hill—if you live long enough to make it.

“Every silver shot I fire’s got a name carved on it.”

This ain’t just a fight.
It’s a reckoning.
And Dead Iron’s bringin’ it.
