Iron Grip: Warlord is a RTS/FPS multiplayer co-op game. The gameplay revolves around an advanced tower defense where players must repel a large army from their territory at all costs. As a warlord, you must deploy defenses and ensure their stronghold survives wave after wave of Confederation warriors without being overwhelmed. This scale of battle is achieved by combining real-time strategy construction with first-person combat. Defenses must be placed perfectly and you must fight valiantly - defeat is always near, and battles are harrowing.


Background
The warring factions are the Atelian Militia against the Confederation of Nallum. The Atelians are making their last stand in the city-states which the Confederates strive to take control at any cost.

The Atelia Militia is a mixture of armed citizens, organized resistance and allied nomadic warriors. Their primary objective is to slow the march of the Confederate armies by any means possible while reducing their public support and encouraging Atelian civilian resistance.

The Confederation consists of modern armies with millions of troops and nearly unlimited resources. However, there is something to say for quality over quantity; individually, the soldiers are poorly trained and minimally equipped. Their strength is in shear numbers and the fear that Atelians harbor.
