IRON PHOENIX (XBOX)

Iron Phoenix is ​​a Wuxia/Hong Kong Cinema style fighting game that allows Xbox Live battles with up to 16 players. The combat system is based on weapon and character selection, allowing for hundreds of move combinations.

In the distant past, a meteorite fell to earth (the "Iron Phoenix") and was forged into seven powerful magical weapons by a master armorer. However, they proved to be his undoing, as the martial arts world is nothing if not mean to those without the power to protect what is theirs.

Fighters choose from 10 character models, each with 2 variations. There are also a variety of monster and undead models that can be used. Each character has different strength, speed, and health configurations, affecting their performance in a fight. These characters are combined with weapons (sometimes pre-selected, sometimes grabbed free-for-all during combat) to allow for a wide variety of playstyles.

The weapons are: Phoenix Wings (Hand Blades), Searing Dagger, Ember Sword (Longsword), Phoenix Tail (Long Spear), Ash Blade (Scimitar), Meteor Hammer, Flame of Heaven (2-Handed Sword), Phoenix Talons (Hand Claws), and the Feather Blade (Ninja-to sword). Players can also pick up a variety of darts that can poison or slow a target, in addition there are a variety of equipment that can grant special powers, such as increased strength, invisibility, and movement.

Movement in the game is wire-fu based, with jumps, flips, wall runs, and more. A movement power meter governs this aspect of the game, recharging over time.

The game is all-combat, all the time, whether solo or on Xbox Live. Individual players can take on a custom build of bots, in a variety of game modes: Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch, VIP, Giant Kill, and Challenge Ring. These modes are also available online, allowing up to 16 simultaneous players to engage in high-flying martial arts battles with exotic weaponry over Xbox Live.
