Retroware, the finest purveyors of flame-broiled pixels, announced the release of Iron Meat’s second major update, injecting a wealth of sizzling hot new content into the meat-and-metal run-and-gun shooter.
Available today on Steam (with the console release to follow at a later date), the free update introduces three new game modes:
- Arcade: Play through Iron Meat with a limited number of continues!
- Boss Rush: Take on every boss in Iron Meat, one after another, and pick out the weapons you want to use before every fight!
- Mutation: Customize your experience with a set of 10 unique “Mutator” settings!
If those new ways to play aren’t enough to make your mouth water, the update lets you get cooking with two new weapons:
- The “F” (Flamethrower) is a unique, close-range weapon that dishes out a stream of multiple fireballs. These fireballs will trail along as the player aims in different directions.
- The “P” (Particle Gun) A weapon that fires dozens upon hundreds of concentrated particle projectiles. According to top secret intelligence, it has been known by a few agents colloquially as “The Bacon Gun.”
Of course, shiny new toys aren’t any fun if you don’t have anyone to play with. That’s where the new wall-crawing zombies come in. These fetid sacks of flesh are a new regular enemy. They appear on background or foreground elements that will run along the stage area, giving you even more baddies to butcher.
To celebrate the occasion, Retroware has released a new video to savor, offering an in-depth look at how Iron Meat has evolved since it launched last year, while detailing all of the additions featured in the latest content update.
