HeroMarine, ToD, RotterdaM, and DeMusliM each made strong debuts in the new RTS. And I’m not the only one who thinks so ESL sanctioned an Iron Harvest open beta pre-season tournament event, and StarCraft 2 professionals and casters alike reached the top eight.
That said, it’s quite impressive to see Iron Harvest launch with the Rusviets, Polanians, and Saxony Empire each balanced reasonably well against each other. Nonetheless, there is plenty of content to keep solo players satisfied, for now.Ĭompetitively balancing unique factions is a massive undertaking in the RTS genre. For a $50 game, I was expecting that section to be filled out a bit more. At the time of reviewing, there are only three maps. These standalone missions offer a solid struggle – they just need to add more as time passes. Continuing in the singleplayer vein, players can also battle AI in skirmishes (as expected) and toil over special challenge maps. Speaking vaguely to avoid any spoilers, the moment a certain Rusviet officer creatively taunted Polania’s heroine Anna – I knew that Iron Harvest’s campaign would hold my attention. The campaign is a fantastic adventure with surprisingly good personalities introduced throughout. The aesthetic and themes are executed masterfully, and controlling huge battles in this world feels amazing.īased on their Kickstarter page, the development team set out to create an “epic campaign and strong characters” – and they largely succeeded. The result? Three badass armies filled with hulking, clunky mechs. Alt-Europe was littered with iron following the massive conflict, leaving the game’s factions to harvest those materials and race against each other for technological superiority. KING Art’s reimagined, post-World War I history feels authentic and immersive. Bottom line: Iron Harvest is extremely cool.
