Iron Meat's Story Explained!

Iron Meat · published 4 Oct 2024, 19:07 UTC

All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

Did you notice all that gunfire in the background of the Forest level? See those scientists rushing to cook something up in Base? How about those giant meatballs falling in the distance on Train?

While Iron Meat is certainly a fun run and gun experience, we wanted to tell a visual story of humanity's desperation to fend off an invading Meat monster horde--begun by mad scientist Yuri Markov on the Moon. Every one of Iron Meat's levels has details that add to the overall story, so you can always expect to find more MEAT to the bones!

For those of you lore fanatics, we made a video explaining the entire story of Iron Meat's in-game world!

Check it out here!

We love seeing all the theories and questions you guys may have about anything within Iron Meat's story, so tell us what you find most interesting about Iron Meat's worldbuilding, where you think the story could head next, or any other details that piqued your curiosity!

Just don't lose your HEAD pondering over all the details!

Iron Meat is available NOW! Blast through 9 levels of gore and monsters, unlock skins and achievements, and take on the hordes of Meat with a buddy via local 2-player couch co-op!
