Iron Marines is a real-time strategy (RTS) video game that takes inspiration from StarCraft. In the game, players act as the commander of the Iron Marines, a military group tasked with saving a space colony from extraterrestrial invaders. To fight off the invaders, the player is given control of a powerful hero unit that features its own distinct abilities in combat and can be leveled up. The player is also given control of a number of different troops such as mechs, soldiers, and aliens. Levels involve a number of objectives, such as defending military bases from attack, and searching for and destroying enemy armies. The player constantly gains resources throughout combat, which they can use to recruit more troops and build powerful defensive buildings at set points around the level.

Reception
According to the review aggregate website Metacritic, Iron Marines received "universal acclaim" for its iOS version. Pocket Gamer found the game to be a competent RTS game for mobile devices that felt reminiscient of tower defense games. The reviewer said that Iron Marines did not have the complexity of other games in the genre, but kept the basic concept and managed to include several distinct twists. Gamezebo liked the game's interface and said that it would become challenging very quickly. The reviewer called the graphics and soundtrack familiar to Ironhide Game Studio's earlier games, saying that the graphics helped keep the game from feeling dark and bleak.
