PC Windows IOS iPhone Android

Iron Marines Invasion is an immersive and thrilling real-time strategy game that will put you in the shoes of a galactic commander battling against an existential threat to space-faring life. You'll have to deploy and command a wide variety of units that attacks all on their own, while also building base defenses that work well in combination. With twice as many levels as the original game, Iron Marines Invasion offers you an expansive campaign to planet hop and fight in new locales.


What we like:
  • Immersive gameplay
  • Wide variety of units to command
  • Real-time battles
  • Twice as many levels as the original game
  • Thrilling setpiece battles
What could be improved:
  • Confusing level navigation menu
  • Fewer ways to customize progression through the game
  • Fewer base game unit packs available
  • Some unit duplication in roles
  • Attempts to monetize players too heavily with additional purchases
