The Empire is yours! But power is not kept - it is fought for, week by week, decision by decision, fight by fight.
IRONBLOOD is at it's core, a deep dark fantasy management sim. You run a fighting promotion. You sign fighters, negotiate contracts, build fight cards, and schedule events. Every week you advance time, and the world moves with you - fighters develop through career phases from raw prospect to ageing legend, rivalries form between repeat opponents, morale shifts based on wins and losses, and contracts expire if you're not careful.
Every campaign begins with a freshly generated world - new fighters, new lore, new rival promotions with their own histories and ambitions so no two plays are the same.
THE WORLD LIVES AND BREATHES
Dynamic lore events fire across the empire as you play - in the vein of Crusader Kings, the world reacts, evolves, and surprises.
EVERY DECISION HAS WEIGHT
Critical moments are resolved with a d20 roll modified by your Emperor's stats, perks, and achievements.
THE ARENA IS EVERYTHING
A deep fight simulation engine drives every bout - round by round, with full commentary, sound effects, voice overs, and a soundtrack. Permadeath is real.
BUILD YOUR LEGACY
Every event, every card, every bout is tracked in full. The Hall of Fame immortalises the greatest fighters ever to compete under your banner.
YOUR EMPEROR, YOUR LEGACY
A deep Emperor stat and perk system shapes how you rule. Your choices unlock unique abilities and define what kind of dynasty you leave behind.
A NEW WORLD EVERY TIME
Every campaign generates a fresh database - new fighters, new backstories, new lore, new rival promotions.
