Iron Meat’s New Update Offers Even More to Sink Your Teeth Into

After Iron Meat’s roaring success post its September release, Retroware is setting the scene for some exciting content updates to keep the momentum going for their modern retro hit!

Kicking off with a substantial update on Xbox, players can dig into a fresh batch of content that’s sure to revitalize your gaming experience.

Mirror, Mirror

Among the top requested features is the new Mirror Mode. This mode lets you tackle all the levels again, but in reverse! While flipping the x-axis might sound like a small tweak, it completely freshens up the experience of facing enemies and bosses. Unlocking this mode requires you to finish the game at least once, at any difficulty level.

Red Rapid Fire

Next up is an impressive addition with the automatic Supercharge upgrade. This new "third" tier is a boost for weapon upgrades, turning all your fired projectiles a striking red instead of their usual blue or green hues. If you’ve maxed out your guns to fire green rounds, snag a third copy of these weapons to get that exhilarating Supercharge (Rapid Fire) upgrade, complete with a fiery red coloration for your shots!

My 1UPs, Thank You

Here’s a piece of good news – your hard-earned extra lives are here to stay! With this major update, any extra lives you gain during a level are now yours to keep as you move on to the next. So, finishing a level with more lives than you began with just got a lot more rewarding.

Visual Enhancements to Level Backgrounds

In an effort to enhance the story’s ambiance, several levels have received a visual makeover. Notable tweaks include helicopters raining down fire on Meat monsters in the Forest, spikes added to the Base midboss, glimpses of surviving pilots in the end credits, and impactful explosions from Meat meteors on the Train level.

Other Updates

Beyond addressing minor bugs, we’ve also:

• Strengthened the damage output of the “E,” “U,” and “M” guns.
• Infused more action involving the Meat into assorted Moon Base sections.
• Fine-tuned patterns in the MI-24 helicopter boss fight for clarity.
• Tweaked various level sections to balance gameplay. For example, you can now eliminate Meat worms on Base as soon as they appear, and Meat Mouth Doors on Train are now destructible.

With these updates, we’re pulling back the curtain on the exciting future of Iron Meat. We’re eager to bring even more features in upcoming updates. Dive back into the fray because Iron Meat is up for grabs right now!
