While players can do this as often as they like, it’s important to note that anything occurring earlier than those 14 heartbeats is set in stone and cannot be changed. Time is measured in ‘heartbeats’, and whenever the player wishes, they can enter ‘trance mode’ which freezes the action, and allows the player to rewind up to the last 14 heartbeats of time. In fact, I’d say the game would be impossible to complete without it.
But where other games treat it a either a limited use get-out-of-gaol-free card allowing you to rewind time and get out of a sticky situation, or occasionally as an offensive weapon, for example freezing all foes in place or hitting them with a ‘time-blast’ or similar, in this game the ability is absolutely central. This isn’t the first time a game has included the ability to manipulate time. While on first look you may think it to be an RPG or aRPG, simply based on its art style and control-scheme, and while there are elements from those genres in it, Iron Danger adds something unique to the mix: the ability to manipulate time. This is quite unlike any other game that I’ve played before. Iron Danger places players in control of Kipuna – a young girl who mysteriously acquires magical abilities during an attack on her village – and various companions who accompany her on the adventure she finds herself thrust into.
