Iron Storm is a first-person shooter developed by 4X Studios and released for Windows in 2002. Set in an alternate history where World War I never ended, the game takes place in 1964 during a prolonged global conflict between the Allied and Russo-Mongol forces. Players assume the role of Lieutenant James Anderson, tasked with infiltrating enemy territory to end the war.
Iron Storm combines traditional FPS gunplay with stealth elements and branching mission paths. Players can choose between aggressive combat or quieter infiltration tactics, using a variety of period-inspired yet futuristic weapons. Missions feature both indoor and outdoor environments, ranging from war-torn cities to military bunkers. The game includes light RPG-style elements such as multiple approaches and dialogue choices that influence certain outcomes. Its gritty atmosphere, alternate-history storyline, and tactical pacing set it apart from many fast-paced shooters of its era.
