What Iron Fisticle is

Iron Fisticle is an indie game developed by Confused Pelican and released in 2014. It was published by Curve Digital. It is available on PC (Microsoft Windows) only.

The premise, in the publisher's words

Iron Fisticle is a challenging twin-stick shooter that requires reflexes, speed and quick thinking to master. It takes the classic arcade arena shooters of the mid 80s and drags them, axes flying, into the 21st century. Inspired by truly old school arcade games right down to the (optional) scanlines themselves, Iron Fisticle is both a retro game and a reinvention of a classic genre, with multiple routes through the game, bonus stages, a large variety of weapons and enemies, clever boss fights and much more.
