Review: ‘Iron Guard VR’ is a sci-fi themed tower defence game that sees you trying to stop waves of enemies from reaching their end goal. The good news is once you get past the tutorial the graphics do get a lot better and you can start to get into this game. What I liked was the traditional style to it. Sure, you can shoot the enemies yourself, but you always stand in the same spot and can always see where the enemies are at.

While the game does tick a lot of positive boxes the lack of multiplayer modes does make the £11.39 price tag a little hard to swallow given that there are only 7 different locations. If you can grab this in a sale you will get better value for money, but even at full price, you enjoy it enough to justify the download. I love my tower defence games anyway, but this really is one of the better ones.
