Our first game
Crownfall
Raise armies. Claim castles. Hold the crown.
Crownfall is a turn-based fantasy strategy game in the tradition of the classics: explore a painted world, build up your castles, recruit armies, and fight tactical battles on a hex grid.
Two factions, Dawn and Dusk, play differently from the first turn. An authored campaign tells the story of a kingdom whose crown has fallen, and sieges put walls, gates and towers between you and it.
Every version is native. The rules engine is shared bit for bit across phone, browser and desktop, so a game started on the bus finishes on the couch.

Studio
Built to last, not to scale.
Black Iron is a small independent studio founded in 2026 in Spain. We make strategy and tactics games: the kind you think about in the shower and come back to a year later.
Every game is written natively for every platform it ships on, with one rules engine shared bit for bit between phone, browser and desktop. No wrappers, no compromises.
Crownfall is our first game. We intend to support it for a very long time.

01
Craft over scale
Hand-painted pixel art and hand-tuned rules. We build our own tools and our own engine, and it shows in the details.
02
Native on every screen
Phone, browser, desktop: each version is built for the device it runs on. Same rules, same save, same feel.
03
Long games, long support
Our games are designed to be played for years. We patch, we expand, we listen. Nothing ships and disappears.
