Overall, Iron Harvest 1920 is a solid title to buy and play. It is available on PC, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4 right now for $49.99 USD. It gives you the story of a role-playing game with the fun factor of a AAA RTS title. Once you get past the length of the first few missions and into the meat of the story you will see just how big it can get.

A well thought out real-time strategy game that has been able to capture the feeling of a post-war dieselpunk reality, sometimes hampered by gameplay mechanics and pacing issues. King Art Games has put out great strategy games that, with some more budget and time, could’ve been one of the all-time greats in the genre. If you like Company of Heroes or the strategy genre in general, this is a game you should play. And if you like historic punk settings, then I really want to emphasize how great the atmosphere in this game is. It’s depressing and beautiful. It’s what...

As a package, Iron Harvest has a fair bit on offer, with more promised. Whether or not the extensive roadmap for future content is a lure or a worry will depend on you. Currently, Iron Harvest’s three campaigns, co-op and multiplayer provide enough meat on the bones to justify entry for most RTS fans. Those expecting depth and complexity may be left a little cold. Nagging issues aside, Iron Harvest is still a good slice of fun that has bursts of brilliance. It’s just a shame AI issues often rear their head.

It’s always nice to see a classic RTS released these days. Especially when it’s in the vein of Company of Heroes/Dawn of War, both of which remain personal favorites. Nowadays, with the genre dominated by 4x titles, even a run of the mill game seems special. And sadly though I wish I could say more, Iron Harvest is very much a run of the mill RTS. It does a decent job, especially during the early campaign, of channeling its spiritual predecessors. But give it time, especially in its lackl...

While Iron Harvest is a fun game, it still has some kinks to work out. For those on the fence, wait for a few patches before checking it out.

Iron Harvest 1920+ is an RTS game developed by KING Art games and published by Deep Silver. The game features a single-player campaign mode, a multiplayer mode, a skirmish mode, and also has several scenario challenges. Funded through Kickstarter in late 2018, the game has a dedicated team of developers behind it, many of whom have worked on games like The Witcher, Scythe, and Viticulture. Driven by the desire to innovate and make a boundary-pushing RTS game for the biggest fans of the genr...

Overall, 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...

“An enjoyable real-time strategy game held back by a lack of polish and content.”

Iron Harvest isn’t perfect, but it is an engaging journey into a new world that’s fun to explore. The factions are crazy and their units even crazier, yet the threat of death still feels very real. It’s a shame some of the functionalities of playing let the game down, and its lack of tactical options do hold it back. However, I still found myself having a great time; its mechanics aren’t perfect, but its world is a joy to get lost in.

Iron Harvest doesn’t reinvent the wheel — it doesn’t have to. Instead, the game is a celebration of the sub-genre’s tried-and-true design. It is a student of the greats that came before it, taking and presenting that core gameplay experience in a way that is familiar, but also exceptionally engaging.

Unbelievable campaign coupled with competitive multiplayer make Iron Harvest an old world hit.

Iron Harvest’s incredible presentation and scrappy, dynamic battles can’t always save it from uneven mechanical depth and arbitrary-feeling limitations. A celebration of the some classic RTS, but not an evolution of it.

Iron Harvest seemed like a promising game, even to someone not really into RTS titles like myself. In some aspects, it does deliver. The story is surprisingly good, the design and usage of the mech units is top notch, and I personally appreciate the streamlining of base and resource management (the bane of my existence in most RTS games) to focus on combat.

Iron Harvest doesn't feel like an RTS for seasoned players of the genre. Much like its mechs, some parts of it feel clunky. But past its rusted exterior, inside Iron Harvest is a fun and entertaining time sink. It's one of the few titles I've played this year where I can totally get lost in a match. Just start it up and poof, suddenly an hour is gone. You get so wrapped up in your strategies, enemies attacking your resources, your units, that even with a real-time clock in the top right I found myself up in the early morning...

Iron Harvest captures most of the charm of Scythe and Company of Heroes while lacking some of the stuff that makes the latter so much fun.

As found in many good RTS games, the potential for mastery of Iron Harvest's mechanics is immense, but it can also be plenty of fun to turn down the difficulty, crank up the starting resources, and watch the big robots fight. Against a high-difficulty AI with a wide array of units, players will need to be clever, quick, and good at micro-managing units, taking advantage of cover and unique abilities to turn the tide. For RTS or other strategy fans, the game is definitely worth checking out, but those who find themselves primarily interested in the setting and not the...

The world of 1920+, what Iron Harvest is set in, is an interesting one. Set in an alternate timeline, post-World War One, you have a story and world inspired by the oft-forgotten Polish-Soviet war of 1919-20, the one that halted the Bolshevik advance west as the Polish (with Ukrainian support) halted and countered a Soviet advance that reached as far as Warsaw.

I haven’t enjoyed an RTS game this much since Company of Heroes 2. Forget the comparisons and enjoy Iron Harvest for what it is: a squad-focused, narrative-driven, old-school real-time strategy game. If you enjoy your RTS games with a strong single-player element and a multiplayer scene that is seemingly well balanced and competitive, then there’s a lot to like here. I wish the production values were higher in both the cutscenes and the audio and voice-over elements, but if you can look p...
