Ironclad was originally developed for the Neo Geo MVS arcade system, and repeatedly advertised as such in Japanese gaming magazines.

A port for Microsoft Windows, OS X, Linux and asm.js developed by DotEmu was released by SNK Playmore as part of the Humble NEOGEO 25th Anniversary Bundle on December 15, 2015. The game was later released on GOG.com on October 5, 2017.
