As mentioned before, there’s a great deal of destructibility in the game and it’s ever so satisfying to see. And with it’s big focus on massive mechanical killing machines, it helps Iron Harvest differentiate itself from other RTS games in a big way. It has a cover system, resource system, building, basically things that have been standardized in many RTS nowadays, but it controls right. I would say it’s very similar to that of Company of Heroes in terms of gameplay. I’d be lying if I said I didn’t have to lower the difficulty to plan things better, but I’m glad that level of challenge is there as it gives you the more reason to play through it again. Carefully planning attacks and commanding units throughout the battlefield feels smart rather than running through the motion, and the challenge from opposition is very much present.
Iron harvest gameplay full#
Packed with some nearly full destructible environments, Iron Harvest shines well in it’s gameplay by offering strategic real-time combat. Iron Harvest comes close to being just that. While countless games of the genre have come and go, many have faltered in offering RTS fans the beef of gameplay they so ever lust. A Return of RTS?Īny RTS fans out there will probably tell you that they haven’t had it easy the last decade. That’s not to say it doesn’t do its job at doing just that, but there is some clear craftsmanship that has been put into the campaign of Iron Harvest, and I only wished it had far more to tell despite it being 30+ hours. There’s a natural sense of progression that doesn’t overstay itself with pointless repetitive gameplay for the sake of teaching players. Objectives feel unique with characters offering new dialogue after every completion of them. It also helps that the pacing of the story is is done well, in that the missions aren’t structured to just be glorified tutorials for the main multiplayer modes. It truly felt grim going up against them, and hearing the characters expressions during combat just made the experience all the better. I felt completely engrossed by the visuals and in awe as the giant mechanical machines ran rampant across the battlefield, destroying everything in their path. While cutscenes are rough with their unpolished animations (RTS issues in general), and voice overs can be a bit phoned in at times, the aesthetics the game provides and the set pieces throughout the campaign more than make up for those flaws, making Iron Harvest one of the most fun RTS in years. Right from the start the game does an excellent job at hooking players by presenting a story that is both believable yet inspiring with it’s dieselpunk fantasy setting. Alone, Anna will learn to take the strength to lead a resistance group so that her country can fend for itself during this cold, blood-spewing war. Caught between the massive superpowers of Saxony and Rusviet, things quickly take a turn for the worst for Anna as she suffers the unfortunate outcome of war when her family is taken away from her.
She resides in a small town located in the Polania Republic. Spanning across three factions, the title kicks things off with you taking the role of a young girl named Anna. Blending elements from that time period with beautiful machinery, Iron Harvest will take you through an adventure like no other as you battle thick in mud through it’s superb campaign.
Iron Harvest 1920+ is a dieselpunk alternate reality that takes place right after the great war (WWI). Multiplayer fans don’t usually think of RTS (real-time strategy) titles when it comes to games but should they? Developed by King Art, is Iron Harvest the RTS game that mech fans have been waiting for all these years? Find out in our Iron Harvest review! Blood and Iron
