Ironcast

While this strategy game looks pretty straightforward, you quickly come to realize how hard it is to come up with the correct combination of resources to power your mech while it's being hammered by incoming enemy fire. There are lots of details that you must pay attention to at the same time: the enemy's weak points, their stats, your own resource levels, and which combos will bring the enemy to its knees. Gameplay takes time to master, and the length of a level is determined by your combination choices and the strength of the enemy you're fighting. It's important to note that although you may fire at the enemy, you can and will miss. Plus, some ammunition is better than others when you're taking aim, so you have to know which weapons are the best for which situations. After you beat the enemy, a mission summary shows the total amount of rewards and achievements you've unlocked and can use toward the next round.

But once you die, the game starts all over again, which will be frustrating for most players. Upon defeat, you gain additional points that are added to your global score, unlocking new mechs and commanders and keeping gameplay from getting too stagnant. Fortunately, once you start to understand how to play, the challenge to keep your mech up and running is entertaining and takes thought, making the variety of resources and combinations for success endless. As a result, it's easy to get sucked into the world of Ironcast, as you eagerly look for just one more round of resource matching.
