Iron Harvest Reviews

needs more updates and people playing again. but i over all like it

Great concept and fun enough so far. That being said 3 hours into the Polonia Campaign and my manual save and first autosave are corrupted. Lost about 30 minutes of playtime. Unable to find a reason why in the Community Forum and game file integrity checked ok. I don't have enough gaming time these days to spend losing campaign progress to errors I can't fix. Unfortunately time to uninstall.

Campign is worth playing. Sometimes it seems repeteitive and too long (it took me 20 hrs) but its fun, and mech are cool. 7/10 from me.

fun game. story is great. easy to get into. very simple and understandable for a non-rts player.

Awesome game - only a few missions in but loads of different units - rifle men can pick up other weapons - really worth the game, Mechs are really cool. there seems to be alot of diffrent types of units. Skermish mission is like playing Risk but im not really a fan of that game mode.

I had a lot of fun with this game, so I want put up a review. However, I'm still not satisfied with the whole game so I couldn't recommend it. I only press Yes so its blue and means I support this game. Things I like about the game: -First of all, the artstyle and theme is great 10/10. -I like the mechs, they're big and clunky. -I enjoyed the campaign missions. Things I don't like: -After finishing the campaign, I tried some of the missions, the survive mode. I was glad that it gave me the option to pick my starting units. Started the game, a few seconds, I'm already getting swarmed lol, I picked the easy AI difficulty and its the same. Might as well just spawn the enemy on my base. Maybe give the players 2-3 minutes to set up their units? -I think there's no need for the retreat button mechs. They're slow. If I accidentally press the retreat button, I then have to wait for them to retreat before I can control them.

I love this alternative history tactical strategy game, its fantastic and ended up being a lot longer than I expected. 10/10

This game got a lot of love on the details, scenario, story and design. I really enjoyed that alternativ 1. WW scenario with mechs and some good bunch humpr together with a solid RTS game play. The mech fights on the battlefield are definitely the highly of the game and bring some fresh ideas into the Company of heroes-ish games.

I got the game on a pretty steep discount. Only cost $6. I was pretty excited having played the board game a lot. The campaign took me 20 hours to play through. The narrative was really good with lots of fairly long cutscenes between missions. The graphics were great. The mechs in particular look very cool walking around the map and there are heaps of different designs. The game play wasn't anything new for an RTS. There is almost no base building. You can only build 3x buildings. An HQ, Barracks and Workshop and they just spawn units. No research track or workers or anything. You gain resources by holding key points across the map. There are only 2x resources steel and iron. So compared to say Age of Empires one this is a pretty big step down on complexity. The different units each have pros and cons and you take advantage of cover and buildings but most of the time you just select all your units and click attack any available enemy. Units get blown up too quickly to really work on getting into good cover or focusing specific units on specific enemies. There are some times where you get to defend and engineers can build cover points but half the time your own mechs walk through them and destroy them so that can be frustrating. Also you build a bunch of cover and the enemy just walks around it. The campaign missions have a few different types of approach to keep things fresh. Some of them go for more of a stealth approach where you just have like a single unit and try to avoid enemies which can be slow and frustrating. I didn't like them much. Unlike the board game you can only play 3 factions which I was a bit surprised and disappointed about. The three factions are all fairly identical as well. Although they look a bit different they function the same. Overall for $6 it was a steal to just have fun marching mechs around the map and blowing things up. The narrative of the campaign has lots of great moments as well with mystery, betrayal and the consequences of war. Not to mention sending the Bear, Wojtek in to wreck stuff.

This game is bugged soooo badly, when it memory dumped during game-play, my pc's bootrec got screwed up. This is by far the worst purchase I have made on Steam. I hope they will fix the stability of this game, but won't keep my hopes up as the company is moving on to other projects...very sad indeed!
