Iron Grip: Marauders Wiki


ISOTX is the video game developer behind the award-winning Iron Grip Series. The Iron Grip Universe provides the setting for our commercial war games:

Iron Grip: Marauders, Iron Grip: Lords of War, Iron Grip: Warlord and Iron Grip; The Oppression

The Iron Grip Universe offers players an alternative world, reminiscent of pre-war Europe, inhabited by an exuberant mix of characters armed to the teeth, with a formidable arsenal. Weaponry such as the ‘dreadnaught airship’ and the daunting Battle Mechs swarm the battlefields of the Iron grip universe, leaving a trail of destruction in their wake.  

At ISOTX, we strive to deliver strategy games that we ourselves love to play.


Please Note they are no longer in business.


Therefore, it comes as no surprise, that the company was founded by a small group of devotee gamers that wanted to add new units and gameplay to C&C Generals. The resulting total conversion mod became known as Mid East Crisis 1.0. Despite the initial lack of funding, the collaboration continued, leading to the founding of a commercial studio and the development of a number of strategy war game titles.

Iron Grip: Marauders is the latest addition to the Iron Grip series. The game takes place several years after Iron Grip: Lords of War. In the land of Kathos, an aristocratic country caught up in internal conflict, the strain and turmoil has finally reached a boiling point. The troops of the Rahmos Protectorate States have moved to the southern border in expectation of a pending war with the neighboring Confederation of Nallum; leaving entire regions unprotected.

This situation has attracted the attention of marauders: mercenary pirates whose ranks range from highly trained ex-military men to common thieves. Many of these marauders came from Atelia, where they used to work as soldiers of fortune for the Atelian tribal leaders. As captain of a horde of air pirates, players roam the vast regions of Kathos in search of settlements to loot. Captured settlements are easily turned into pirate strongholds which provide additional building and advancement options in the game. From their headquarters, gamers can strategically plan their army’s size and composition. By researching new technologies, stronger units can be trained and new structures created.
