IRON FURY has a Steam demo ahead of its planned November release, giving arcade-brawler fans a playable introduction to its neon-lit city. The development team announced the milestone on November 4. Steam’s demo record lists November 3 as its release date, while the complete game still has a November 2026 window without a specific day.

The announcement describes a side-scrolling beat ’em up with two campaigns, local cooperative play for two people and a survival mode. Those are features of the complete project; the release does not say that every campaign or mode is included in the sample. A separate Steam demo entry confirms the Windows download and local co-op support.

The campaigns have an unlock order

The full-game description begins with Streets of Vengeance, set in Greyhaven. Its heroes become entangled with VANTAGE and a secret contained in the HALO chip. The route moves through docks, an arcade and other districts, using comic-panel storytelling between the fights.

Overclock takes place a year later. It adds eight stages, six bosses and a new Overclock move for each hero, with hazards including laser gates and flooding. It is unlocked by completing the first campaign twice. Survival mode follows completion of the second campaign, so the package’s three parts are not all presented as immediately available from a fresh save.

Survival uses three arenas and recurring enemy waves, with a boss every tenth wave and supply crates carrying food or weapons. Elsewhere, the combat system combines strikes with grabs, throws and support attacks. The listed control options include remapping, and the full game offers three difficulty settings plus a free-play option. These details give the demo a concrete role: it lets players try the basic fighting system before committing to the longer unlock structure.

Local co-op and Remote Play Together

Both the game and demo list Steam Remote Play Together support. That is useful for a pair who cannot sit at the same PC, but it should be understood separately from a dedicated online co-op mode. IRON FURY’s advertised player count remains one or two.

Valve’s Remote Play explanation describes how the feature works: one computer runs the local multiplayer game, streams its picture and sound to the guest, and receives the guest’s inputs. The host starts a supported game and sends an invitation through Steam. It shares the game session rather than requiring a separate native multiplayer implementation.

For prospective co-op players, the available demo therefore offers a way to check both the brawling and the intended input setup. The final game’s campaign descriptions establish what follows that sample, while its exact November release day remains to be announced.
