About the Game

A dieselpunk roguelike where you man a trench tank and fight to survive an alien onslaught.

Hold the line.

Iron & Lead drops you into a dieselpunk trench war against relentless alien forces. As the gunner of an Abner Jack, you are the last line between humanity and collapse. Every run is a fight to survive, adapt, and push back the onslaught.

Fight the War Beneath the Surface

Navigate a shifting network of trenches where danger comes from every direction. Airborne threats, ground assaults, and overwhelming enemy waves will test your awareness and positioning at every turn.

Command the Abner Jack

Take control of powerful trench-running tanks, each with distinct strengths and playstyles. Precision movement and timing aren’t optional—they’re survival.

Adapt or Be Overrun

  • Deploy turrets, landmines, and rocket barrages

  • Customize your approach with 50+ items and upgrades

  • Build for damage, defense, or something in between

Every run opens new possibilities. Every mistake has consequences.

Push Further Every Time

Battle across multiple regions, unlock new equipment, and refine your strategy with each attempt. The deeper you go, the harder the fight becomes—and the more it demands from you.

Stand Your Ground

The war doesn’t stop. The enemy doesn’t relent.

The only question is—how long can you hold the line?
