Iron Warfare puts you in control of a tank on numerous battlefields where the goal is to capture the spawn points and defeat the enemies. That’s it and yet, it’s fairly entertaining although at times far too easy.

Levels range from a simple two-on-two with two spawn points to all out war with up to ten tanks on the battlefield and numerous spawn points to control. The problem is that most of the levels look very similar and there’s little challenge. In the fifteen levels I played, I lost once. There’s no difficult setting and no settings at all really except for a quick calibration of the iPhone’s position.

The graphics are decent for the type of game it is and the iPhone’s power. They’re not awe-inspiring or realistic but for a quick fun tank game they’re not bad.

When the game first arrived I feared this was going to be yet another game with horrible controls. Much to my surprise, it’s not. The controls consist of tilting the phone to steer and using your left thumb to move Forward, left or right. Firing is as simple as holding down your right thumb on the fire button. They work surprisingly well actually and you’re able to not worry about them while driving around shooting enemy tanks.

Overall the game is one-dimensional in gameplay and not fantastic in graphics and sound. However, that doesn’t mean the game isn’t fun. It is, it’s just not all that challenging and could do with a load of improvements like multiplayer, scoring and multiple objectives. Perhaps something like capture-the-flag, VIP, etc.
