Synopsis

In a tower rising high above a desolate city, a mad-genius scientist pursues his experiments. His mission: to create the ultimate killing machine and purge the world! The means of achieving his wild ambition will soon be set in motion. All that remains is the last piece of equipment for Tetsujin... and you (which is the player) have been chosen.

Reception

Next Generation reviewed the game, rating it three stars out of five, and stated that "Not better than the rest, just different."[5] Next Generation also reviewed the US version of the game, rating it three stars out of five, and stated that "it goes a long way toward leaving the trippy dreaminess from the Japanese version intact, and in some ways, makes it creepier."[6]

Sequel

There is a sequel to Iron Angel of the Apocalypse, entitled Iron Angel of the Apocalypse: The Return for the 3DO and Microsoft Windows.
