From the creators of Rusted Moss, Iron Bramble is a momentum-based metroidvania built around expressive movement and tight gunplay. Master your elastic grappling hook to explore a vast, cyber-gothic megastructure, where robots piloted by the souls of the dead do penance for their sins. 

Get hooked on a new grapplevania!

Challenging to learn, rewarding to master. Propelled by your momentum, this physics-based, elastic grappling hook is one of the most expressive movement systems found in any metroidvania.

Be creative! Fling yourself through the air or close the distance by grappling your enemies, shotgun at the ready. Plus, platforming challenges have no intended solutions.

Master the hook and break the game. 

Flowing, acrobatic movement… with GUNS!

Find a rocket launcher? Sure, you can blow up your enemies, but you can also use it to ROCKET JUMP! Combine that with bunny hopping and you can build your momentum for overwhelming speed.

Movement and combat blend in an aerial ballet. 

Swing, flip, soar and slide, or propel yourself with knockback from your gun — get into the flow state with your acrobatic moveset as you blast apart your enemies.

Customise your playstyle

Change your loadout with pretty (or ugly) frocks, trinkets and an armoury of guns, guns, guns. 

There are also accessibility options — feel free to fine-tune to your preferred settings or pick a preset (including story mode).

Delve into a cyber-gothic fairy tale

In the mysterious Iron Bramble, robots are piloted by the souls of the dead, trapped in eternal repentance for sins they don’t remember. 

Have you truly found a way into Hell? Who is the sleeping princess at the centre of it all? And will you ever find a frock that’s as pretty as you?
