Is Iron Sky: Invasion worth it for you?
We tell you who should skip it, too.
Play it if you…
Good fit- Space-combat fans who want mission-based dogfights and capital-ship assaults
- Players who enjoy managing ship energy, resources, and salvage during battles
- Iron Sky fans who want an orbital campaign with film cast appearances
Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking a tightly linear campaign may bounce off the open space map and its mission-driven structure.
- Players who want a simple arcade flight model may hit a wall when energy allocation, salvage, and ship upgrades enter the workflow.
- Players looking for a grounded space setting may reject the deliberately absurd Moon Nazi premise.
Our take on Iron Sky: Invasion
The bounce point arrives when combat expands beyond aiming and firing. Players must divide energy among engines, shields, and weapons while managing salvage and upgrades, so those wanting uncomplicated arcade action may stop at the resource and power systems.
What is Iron Sky: Invasion?
Iron Sky: Invasion is a space-combat title set above Earth during a Fourth Reich assault launched from a lunar base.
Players choose among five ships with distinct battlefield functions and compromises, then traverse an open orbital map. Objectives cover repelling enemy waves, protecting satellites and stations, attacking large vessels, and advancing the invasion campaign. Available weapons include lasers, missiles, plasma systems, and tactical nuclear devices. Salvaged debris supplies resources, while power can be assigned to propulsion, defenses, or armaments. The hangar provides over 100 possible upgrade configurations. The package also contains about 90 minutes of filmed material and briefing sequences with performers from the Iron Sky movies.
