Iron Lord is a strategy game with action and light adventure elements, set in the Middle Ages and featuring hand-drawn graphics. After returning from journeys far away, you find your ancestral castle in ruins and hear rumours that a huge army is marching towards your land. Your only hope is to raise an army and fight back, but after your long absence, you are an unknown heir to the land. To raise the army you need to win the respect of the people, by traveling through your land and accomplishing tasks, winning competitions, and finally gathering enough men to fight the army.

Computer Gaming World approved of Iron Lord‘s graphics but criticized its performance and load times, especially as it could not run from a hard drive. The magazine nonetheless concluded that the game was “an above-average combination of adventure, strategy and action gaming”. The game was reviewed in 1990 in Dragon #159 by Hartley, Patricia, and Kirk Lesser in “The Role of Computers” column. The reviewers gave the game 4 out of 5 stars.
