Iron & Blood is a 3D fighter based on Ravenloft, a fantasy horror setting in the world of Advanced Dungeons & Dragons. Strahd von Zarovich, a vampire lord, and the deathknight Lord Soth, are constantly scheming and plotting against one another. Now a party of heroes has become caught up in their power struggles. This group of adventurers must face off against the most malicious and evil monsters and villains the land has to offer if they are to survive and find their way back home.

At the beginning of the game, players must choose from a pool of characters that includes the forces of good and evil. Paladins, wizards, warriors, assassins, were-creatures, and more can be chosen from. Once they've got a character picked, they must face off against a series of opponents in one-on-one matches to the death. During the matches, which take place in closed off arenas of various types, players can use weapons, magic, special moves, and anything else at their disposal in order to destroy their opponent. ~ Scott Steinberg, All Game Guide
