What Iron Crypticle is
Iron Crypticle is an arcade game developed by Confused Pelican and released in 2017. It was published by Tikipod. It is available on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC (Microsoft Windows).
The premise, in the publisher's words
"A mysterious, malevolent force has abducted Cryptonia's princess - along with the king's royal golden treasures (shaped curiously like large foodstuffs...). The King's washed-up knights must suit up and descend into the ancient palace crypts on a rescue mission!"
How it plays
It is played from a bird view / isometric perspective. Its themes are action, fantasy, historical and kids. It is a single-player game with no multiplayer component. Available modes: Co-operative, Multiplayer and Single player. There are 38 achievements to unlock.

What you need to run it
The minimum specification calls for Dual Core 2Ghz or above, 2 GB RAM and Open GL 2.0 Compatible Video Card (Intel HD4000 or better). At 2GB of RAM, it will run on essentially any working PC — that is below what a budget laptop ships with today. Both tiers are compared side by side on the requirements page, and you can check your own parts against them without installing anything.
What it launched against
Iron Crypticle launched on 11 July 2017, within three weeks of Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy, Diablo III: Eternal Collection, Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy and Splatoon 2. All of them reviewed better. It arrived 4 years into the PlayStation 4's life, so it was built for hardware developers already knew well.
Released around the same time: Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy, Diablo III: Eternal Collection, Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy, Splatoon 2.
