A roguelike with gritty charm, Ironsand hooks players early and keeps them for the long haul. More than half of reviewers already logged 2–10 hours and came away charmed, while those under two hours still call it half-baked.

What it's about: Ironsand est un FPS roguelite coopératif de chasse aux titans se déroulant sur une planète désertique où les builds puissants et la synergie d'équipe sont primordiaux

Who is it for?

Is Ironsand worth it in 2026?

Verdict

Ironsand’s roguelike DNA delivers fun and replayability for the majority who stick around, but its rough edges—especially performance—keep a sizable chunk of players from ever seeing its best. With another year until launch, there’s time to polish the rough spots.
