In a tower rising high above a desolate city, a mad-genius scientist pursues his experiments. His mission: to create the ultimate killing machine and purge the world!

Development and release
Development and release
Iron Angel of the Apocalypse was developed by Synergy, Inc. The game was first released by Panasonic in Japan as Tetsujin on April 9, 1994, making it one of first titles available for the 3DO Interactive Multiplayer in that region. It was also distributed in Europe by the same publisher that year. However, Panasonic chose not to give it a North American localization due to possible copyright infringement, so Synergy handled the release itself in 1995, retitling it Iron Angel of the Apocalypse. English subtitles were used with the original Japanese voice-overs.

Reception
Next Generation reviewed the game, rating it three stars out of five, and stated that "Not better than the rest, just different." Next Generation also reviewed the US version of the game, rating it three stars out of five, and stated that "it goes a long way toward leaving the trippy dreaminess from the Japanese version intact, and in some ways, makes it creepier."
