About
Welcome, Freelancer, to Obsidian Core Technologies! As our newest hire, you’ve been dispatched to the mineral-rich planet of Planet-14416331, a volatile world brimming with natural resources. Your mission is to extract rare ores, amass a fortune, and receive some of that fortune for yourself! Dig deep (into your pockets) and upgrade your gear.
The most valuable ores are deep down.
Dig as deep as you can and extract the most valuable ores. Take them to the refinery and we will compensate you 0.035671% of the value of those ores. It is our mission to maintain fair pay for fair work.
As you have brought your own drill rig, we have provided an outpost to facilitate use of your commission to further upgrade. Allowing you to reach deeper into the crust and extract ores that will be far more profitable to the company.
At Obsidian Core Technologies, we prioritize your success in extracting the planet’s resources. Planet-14416331 has been meticulously surveyed to ensure optimal mining conditions. However, just in case minor inconveniences arise we’ve thoughtfully outfitted an Arms Dealer at your personal outpost. They offer a selection of tools and enhancements to safeguard your operations, ensuring you can focus on delivering valuable ores to our refineries.

[h1]Experienced on PSVR2[/h1] Yes, you can play this in VR using the UEVR mod by Praydog. Unfortunately, you will need to use KBM as gamepad support is not fully integrated. Gamepad does work to control the drill, but navigating the menus is difficult if not impossible with a gamepad. You will also need to enable mouse cursor in the UEVR settings. I didn't notice any other issues. However, since this game has lots of menus for upgrades and buying fuel, it can be cumbersome to play in VR unless you can play with KBM without issue.

This game is a labour of love, created as an homage to Motherload and the devs did great justice. If you grew up playing Motherload on Newgrounds, I would highly recommend downloading and giving IRONBORNE a go. Absolutely love the soundtrack - from the industrial main menu theme to the sythwave/vaporwave being played while exploring. I enjoy the lore shown, a consumerist company that only cares for the money being made and not those beneath board level. Loving my time so far, and can't wait to see what comes next.

Game is extremely fun, just havent managed to get a good run lately. A very enjoyable game to duck in and out of. Hoping the devs make a button for a horn.
Very addictive. Great game with just enough depth to keep me coming back for more. The gameplay loop is exceptional. A great reimagining of previous similar games. 10/10
Ironborne is for anyone who loved Motherlode. It’s the perfect spiritual successor capturing all the addictive, strategic fun while adding its own unique twists. I found myself completely hooked and the sense of progression is incredibly satisfying. If you’re looking for a game that’s fun, challenging, and impossible to put down, this is it.
Game is good!
decent fun is ... like most other games of this decade a little unoptimized (i blame the unreal engine for it more than anything else Beat a boss, get more game. Motherload but shiny, worth the price, i enjoyed it and will likely return to it :) Its good though :) i'm just a little overswamped with A LOT of really lovely games. Get it, get in and enjoy.
The simplistic idea of this game is pulled off with ruthless execution. The challenge presents itself pretty quickly into the gameplay and it takes some tactical thinking to balance the upgrades, fuel cost, hull repairs, and supplies needed while diving deeper and remembering the way back to the surface. While you mine and grow your fortune, unlock a story of betrayal and dog eat dog power dynamics. Save often your gonna need it.
I grew in in the rural areas of China and this game gave me so much nostalgia for the simpler times... my grandma [b]Wulinhua[/b] used to tell me 西兰花炒牛肉 when times got tough in the with all the heart wretching work I had to do in our family's coal mine.. but this game... this game right here.. screams teh words 西兰花炒牛肉
