Iron Harvest
Iron Harvest is a real-time strategy game (RTS) set in the alternate reality of 1920+, just after the end of the Great War. 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. Lead dozens of different unit types into battle, carefully utilize cover and blast entire buildings to shreds. Take your time to come up with a plan which allows for a wide range of tactics, including a stealth approach. Mechs. We got mechs. Lots of them.

The game is good. Unfortunately, it was left in this state, no updates or patches for it, getting dead as I write this. The story was good but it ended very fast, in game achievements should be worked out to work the same as the ones on the steam, nothing records without a VPN set up. Overall I am giving it a 6.5/10. I had fun

I like it. Good story, fun lore I honestly have to say this is a fun game to play.
The people who have problems with the units bunching up and running into each other. You need to learn line of sight and strategy.
It's simpler than some RTS, less base building, not as complex as COH but lets you focus more on battle and map control strategies.

The game is rather clunky, and the multiplayer community does not exist. Even so, the game is rather fun for single player; but should be bought when on sale.

I've bought this game including all DLC and I played it as Singeplayer Campaign game.
Growing up with Starcraft and Warcraft, C&C and all those good SP Campaigns... boy did this feel awesome to play. The story is actually quite well written and the setting is incredibly unique. The campaign videos are georgous to the say the least!
The amount of love in the animations for all those units are just showing how those devs cared for the game. It's not the hardest game, not the most mechanical demanding, but it has a good enough difficulty to it to keep being enjoyable. Some missions suffer from the heroes being too strong, where you barely need to build an army, but it is never crossing the line to make it boring.
MP - never played it dont care.
Worldmap - never played it, maybe in the future.
HIGHLY recommended to whoever is looking to feel escape the sad reality that we dont get too many SP-RTS games anymore. I really loved the game to its bones and really wish they might do a second one.

I was eyeballing this game for years. Reviewers kept me at bay.
They are stupid.
This game is an awesome mix of WW1/Mechs/Warcraft 3

I enjoy this game more than company heroes 1 or 2, dawn of war series, whole shebang, and I'm going to tell you why.
It's simple. That's it. You don't need to worry about too many moving parts but the pace of everything will still keep you engaged. I just get into the flow of a match and forget about everything it feels so intuitive.
You might lose your first match or two horribly, because it is different. I wanted to use a lot of infantry, but then realized that I absolutely have to focus on mechs and anti-mech guns. You can still use a lot of infantry, but you absolutely do need combined arms. It can be rough though fighting against certain factions depending on what your faction is. Before I knew what I was doing, it was really rough.
I love the aesthetic of everything, its all so much fun. I only wish I had gotten the game sooner. Not a lot of people seem to play it anymore, but the campaign is still very fun for me at least.

I bought it for about 5 EUR on sale. It's a perfectly fine RTS game with cool art design for a laughable price. My best moments were big battles in an urban setting between mechs, footsoldiers, bunkers and artillery fire, in which the visuals and the audio excel. Not to complicated. You dont need much macro or micro on standard difficulty. Didnt like the stealth missions, Didnt try the multiplayer.
