Play Iron Man X-o Manowar In Heavy Metal Online

Iron Man X-O Manowar in Heavy Metal came out for the Game Boy in 1996, published by Acclaim Entertainment. It was part of that wave of licensed comic book games that tried to capture the feel of the source material on the small screen. You got two heroes for the price of one, which was a decent selling point back then.

You control either Iron Man or X-O Manowar, switching between them to fight through side scrolling stages. Your main goal is to stop a villain from destroying the world, moving screen by screen and clearing each area of enemies. The game uses a life bar system, so you can take a few hits before you die. Combat is straightforward; you punch and shoot projectiles, and you collect power ups to restore health or get temporary weapon upgrades. The levels are fairly linear, and the difficulty can be unforgiving with some cheap enemy placements. Playing it feels like a typical action platformer from that era, where persistence matters more than finesse.
