It's hard to know who will really enjoy Iron Roses. Hardcore adventure gamers will find nothing to challenge them here, speeding through in under three hours, while casual gamers will likely find there to be far too much dialogue and not enough instant entertainment, or much gameplay of any kind. If you enjoy stories with a more realistic angle than usual in an adventure game, you may find some mild entertainment in watching Alex reunite her band. For all others, while the voice acting is fairly solid and the minigames provide occasional fun, none of these elements are given a suitable platform to ever really engage the player.
Alex is an out-of-work musician struggling to come up with rent money until she learns about a Battle of the Bands contest at her local club. This could be the big break that her former band, the Iron Roses, need to take them to fame and fortune! The problem is that all of her bandmates have gone their separate ways. Can Alex reunite the Iron Roses in time for the concert? And will they sound any good after all this time? You'll find out in Iron Roses, a new point-and-click adventure game from Sandlot and Cateia Games, the folks who made The Legend of Crystal Valley.
The first Emo adventure game has hit the casual game portals. Neroli writes, "Iron Roses is a fun point and click adventure that has you controlling a guitar-playing loafer who wants to win a battle of the bands. It has good production values, plenty of minigames, and the inventory puzzles make good common sense."
