Gameplay
The game features high-speed tank combat gameplay along a flat plane, similar to helicopter games like AH-3 Thunderstrike. Piloting an attack aircraft through thirty levels of alien combat, players are assisted by the digitized speech of their co-pilot as they traverse a variety of battlefields.[3]
Iron Hammer features the ability to play with or without Sega VR hardware.[4]
Preservation
In May 2008, Nicola Ferrarese of the website Games Collection showed a functioning prototype of the game at VGH 2008, a small video game exposition in Monza, Italy.[5] Sometime around 2012 it was again reported to have been playable at an unknown location.[4]
The game currently remains undumped.
