Iron Zenith

Z1 is a constructor management simulation set in a space-based robot competition. You own a factory and manage one of 16 competing teams, each fielding robots into asteroid-belt arenas. Your role combines strategic team ownership with tactical command: design and upgrade chassis, recruit and train pilots, negotiate sponsorships, and manage finances—then direct battles in real-time via wireless comms and overhead map views. Climb from the lowest league to the platinum tier by building a championship-winning organization. The game emphasizes both the business side (balancing salaries, repairs, and R&D budgets) and the human drama of pilot careers as they rise, peak, and eventually retire. Alongside your team, 63 AI-controlled competitors operate under the same rules, creating a living league that evolves through four-year technology cycles.
