The Game lets you control giant dieselpunk mechs, combining epic singleplayer and coop campaigns as well as skirmishes with intense action on the battlefield for multiplayer fans, Iron Harvest is the classic real-time strategy games fans have been waiting for.

    Tradition clashes with scientific and technological progress, while Europe is still recovering from the brutal battles of the World War. Cities are being rebuilt and in the countryside, the era of the Iron Harvest has begun. Farmers are uncovering the remains of the majestic walking machines that had fought on the battlefields of the Great War.

    In the midst of this chaos, a new threat appears that will put Europe's very existence at risk. Secret forces are putting everything they can towards destabilization of entire countries, determined to set the world on fire once again and finally seize control.    … Expand

    The setting and the world structure in Iron Harvest are profound and perfectly accompanied by the imposing music - absolute goose bumps.

    For advanced players, it may be more of the same with a different paint job, but as someone who has had less engagement with RTS titles as a whole, Iron Harvest has been a really solid introduction for me. With a unique well-researched universe and context, and interesting combat mechanics, I look forward to diving further into multiplayer and to seeing more of the 1920+ universe down the road.

    Do I think Iron Harvest has the makings of legends? Not exactly. But I do think it offers a unique enough flavor for anyone looking to sate their RTS appetite will find a good offering here. You won’t see it headlining any major esports events, but not every game needs to be the next big thing to be worth it. Sometimes just being different and relatively well made makes it worth checking out.

    Iron Harvest is a good game. KING Art Games did a good job responding to the demand of the players who clearly enjoy these types of games, but with all the ideas they proposed, they could have done something really new. It has a lot of single player content and a good AI both in the campaign and in quick games.

    A pretty decent start to Iron Harvest's RTS journey. Lacking some much needed additional content and the campaign could be better, but there's a solid foundation here.

    Iron Harvest presents a fascinating alternate reality of which I’d like to see more. The war is intense, the maps are rather pretty, and the units are an escalating maelstrom of steel and steam from which delightfully concepted war machines come into play. The battles are intense and the deployment of armaments can make one feel giddy in the rush of it as bullets and shells fly and explode. That said, some unfortunate aspects distract from the experience. The game’s increasing technology tree makes cover-based tactics a questionable proposition, the slowness can make downtime between events seem just a bit too long, and multiplayer is a bit too limited. The game is not horribly marred by these drawbacks, but best bear Wojtek can only carry the spirit of Polania so far with the baggage weighing him down.

    Iron Harvest is definitely not a bad game by any stretch of the imagination. It’s just an average real-time tactics game with neat visuals and very little originality in its design.

    Amazing CoH-like rts game (meaning it resembles the mechanics of company of heroes [a superb game series if you haven't played it] closelyAmazing CoH-like rts game (meaning it resembles the mechanics of company of heroes [a superb game series if you haven't played it] closely while also maintaining its own unique identity)

    This game is fun for both the casual rts player who doesn't play many of these types of games and for experienced rts players.
    For the casual player, it offers a good campaign with well done cinematic scenes and good voice acting especially when playing in "native languages" mode. As well as a skirmish and scenarios mode that is full of challenges, rewards and unlockables. With plenty of new stuff being added through a season system which is free to participate in and you get all your rewards, no paywalls once the game is yours. Which is a breath of fresh air in today's dev cycle of games.

    For the vets, it has casual multiplayer, and ranked multiplayer. A good amount of maps(with definitely more coming) and a variety of game modes. Each faction has its own deep tactical/unit pool and almost every match requires different tactics and units depending on your opponents play style. Unlike games like starcraft, if you are down, or lose a few large battles you are most certainly not out! The matches are a bit lengthier and there is a great comeback potential if you re-organize yourself and truly outwit your opponent, the game is balanced and fair overall.

    I can highly recommend this game for anyone who enjoys rts, or even wants to get started in it. I suggest getting the deluxe edition as it will give you access to future dlc, as well as a current dlc campaign that's been released already. Finally, sadly no match history or theatre mode yet but i'm sure the devs will be adding these things in the future as it's still a very new game from a relatively small studio. They definitely deserve our support :) This game has amazing potential for the future, and is still currently a great game to play.    … Expand

    As a Kickstarter baker and early alpha/beta tester, I cannot recommend this game to anyone at its current status. The graphic and art designAs a Kickstarter baker and early alpha/beta tester, I cannot recommend this game to anyone at its current status. The graphic and art design of the game is great but beside campaign, the game lacks of descent strategies and system. Similar/identical infantry units for each faction, lacking unit/weapon upgrades, lack of base building elements(only 2 base structures, same on every faction as well), claims to be a slow pace RTS but its not, etc.

    More importantly, the dev “full” released the game with many key features missing/not implemented in the game yet. There are no new maps since the beta, no rank play or ladder, no coop campaign/missions, no AI improvements, no steam achievements and so on.

    This is extremely disappointing. Despite many players provide their suggestions and warnings to the dev before the full release, the dev barely changes or improves any aspects of the game. If the dev wants to keep improving or fixing the game overtime, they should brand the game as an early access title instead of publishing an unfinished game.

    As a baker, I’m really disappointed and would not recommend this game for now to anyone who is interested.    … Expand
