The Iron Sky movie was, by any measure, a mess of a film that emphasized style over substance. It nevertheless has gained a cult following and its sequel ran a successful IndieGoGo campaign. Today, the video game adaptation, named Iron Sky: Invasion, that previously saw releases on PC, Xbox360, Mac and iOS has been released onto the Google Play Marketplace. The Xbox360 and PC versions of the game, like the movie they are based on, received subpar reviews, but the iOS version fared better by the few publications that reviewed it after its late June release.
GamesAsylum: "If you browse Xbox Live’s ‘Games on Demand’ service regularly you may have seen that Iron Sky: Invasion was recently added. This movie tie-in is one that we’ve never seen in the likes of GAME and CeX, despite it allegedly receiving a UK retail release. The 2012 movie on which it’s based is arguably just as little-known"
Iron Sky was a horribly great B-movie. The recent mobile game inspired by this movie, may be even better.
Iron Sky Invasion is a decidedly less ambitious attempt to revive the classic Wing Commander formula. The follow-up to last year’s 2D shoot ‘em up, it moves in a more streamlined, action-oriented direction, devoid of the trading, exploration, and open-world mischief of some of its competitors. Instead, this stays closer to the Descent: Freespace or Wing Commander traditions, where you’re dropped into a series of combat-based missions, with no ability to go off the reservation.
I had no idea they made games from this movie.
