Rise of Dexter — Chapter 1

Dexter is just a brave kid in modern-day New Mexico. No suit. No powers. No name. But when animals are in danger and bullies roam the streets, he can't look away. With the help of his tough, big-hearted Uncle D, Dexter builds his very first homemade powered suit in the basement — and becomes The Iron Guardian.

The Iron Guardian is a 2.5D isometric tactical RPG. Move across glowing battle grids, spend your Action Points wisely, and choose your fighting style: a heavy close-range Power Punch or a safer ranged Wrist Blaster. Unleash the Overcharge Strike special, brace with Defend, and zip across the field with the Grapple Line.

This Chapter 1 prototype takes you from your first rescue, through the night you stand up to the bullies, into the basement where the suit is born, and down into the sewers for your first real fight. Earn XP, Dollars, Scrap Parts, and Reputation, and uncover the first thread of a much bigger mystery beneath the desert.
