Howdy! I wanted to take a moment to share some of the nice things critics have said about Cold Iron since we released in January…
"Even with its sci-fi and puzzle elements set aside, Cold Iron is simply the best western dueling game available in VR. The fact that it has a great story and rewarding puzzles is just icing on this six-shootin’ cake." 9/10
Daniel Weissenberger, GameCritics
"...the feeling of triumph that I had upon beating it is a feeling that I haven’t had for quite a while in gaming. Cold Iron made me feel supernaturally fast, and wicked smart." 8/10
Eric Hauter, Gaming Nexus
"There are few VR games that have created as strong a sense of immersion as Cold Iron...You’ll want to saddle up and ride on this VR gem."
Bradly Shankar, MobileSyrup
“…I always wanted to hear that bell one more time and watch my enemy slump into the dirt. Or maybe? Maybe it’s just the curse of the gun that won’t let go—the grip of Cold Iron on my soul.” 8/10
Chandler Wood. PlayStation LifeStyle
“…the gameplay will bring a smile to anyone who enjoys a competition of wits and reflexes.” 8.2/10
Kyle Durant, Pure PlayStation
"It walks a fine line, just managing to stay on the right side of unfair, forcing you to get better and faster."
Matt, Codec Moments
“I loved the atmosphere, story, gameplay, difficulty and overall experience. It was executed to perfection and is a game that provides immense amounts of fun at parties.”
Adam Stewart, Play PSVR
I hope you enjoy your time with Cold Iron, too!

Cold Iron's Wild Card Update Is Available Now!
Since Cold Iron's release last January, James and I have been blown away by all the positive reviews, comments and posts. But we've also been scouring each one for ideas and suggestions on how to improve Cold Iron and make it the premier Wild West experience. Which leads us to today's Wild Card Update!
With this update, we're giving gunslingers everywhere more ways to play Cold Iron. That means new game modes, difficulty options, a rewards system with tons of new unlockables, and countless behind-the-scenes improvements to graphics, menus, scoring, and controls.
Here's the full list of what you'll find in the Wild Card Update. You'll notice it's numbered because... We don't waste bullets 'round these parts.
1. NEW: EXHIBITION MODE--Duel against individual opponents with the ability to quickly retry the same opponent if you lose.
2. NEW: TRAINING MODE--Play four new games to hone your gunslinging skills.
3. NEW: SHOOTOUT (TRAINING)--Shoot outlaws that appear from behind cover, but be careful not to shoot innocents!
4. NEW: JUGGLER'S QUEST (TRAINING)--Shoot bottles and cans that rain from the sky. Make it to the end and defeat the boss to win.
5. NEW: ENDLESS SHOOTOUT (TRAINING)--Outlaws appear faster and faster the more you shoot. The game ends when you shoot an innocent.
6. NEW: JUGGLE FOREVER (TRAINING)--More cans are added as time passes. The game ends when anything touches the ground.
7. NEW: HARDCORE MODE--For serious gunslingers only! Enabling this option limits you to six bullets per round and forces you to holster the gun at your hip and cock it before firing.
8. NEW: DIFFICULTY OPTIONS--Adjust the difficulty level in Exhibition Mode and Juggler's Quest.
9. NEW: PRIZES--Earn points for dueling, training, and discovering secrets. Spend points to unlock new guns, alternate gun sounds, and saloon decorations.
10. NEW: EASTER EGGS
11. IMPROVED: MENUS--Get a better look at the statues you've unlocked. All of our menus have been re-designed to be prettier and more informative.
12. IMPROVED: OPTIONS--In addition to Hardcore Mode, you now have the option of automatically skipping all cutscenes.
13. IMPROVED: SCORING--Base scores for several duels were re-calculated based on player feedback. There's gold in them duels!
14. FIXED: You can now skip the mini-cutscene between the 10th and 11th duels in Campaign Mode.
15. FIXED: Fixed a rare holster UI bug.
And of course we're doing it all for free. The Wild Card Update is available as an automatic download for Cold Iron players across all platforms.
