Iron Valor Studios is a veteran-owned indie game studio founded by Joseph Barnette and Brandon Smith. We create immersive, story-driven tabletop games that blend tactical strategy with rich cinematic worlds. Our flagship game, War-Sworn, is a sci-fi military strategy card game set in the fractured world of Athreon, offering deep gameplay, unique factions, and gripping lore.

Driven by our military backgrounds, we design games with purpose—building community, encouraging strategic thinking, and exploring the therapeutic potential of gaming for veterans and beyond.
