Scythe is my absolute favorite board game of all time and i just love to see the 1920+ universe expanded in true RTS fashion! The mechs, the maps and the destroyable environment are its strongsuits. The multiplayer is only ever used by tryhards who will sweep the floor with you so if you dont have any friends to go up against theres only the story. Which i dont mind since it brings for more immagenative and story driven play. Kinda like a narrated wh 40k game. That being said the game might still not be the best and the air ships are definetly not balanced so i wouldnt recommend buying the operation eagle DLC. Fun casual game but one that falls flat upon repetitive or competetive play. Also the amount of menues and mechs on screen can really be stressing sometimes and i really wish there was a sharprer limits for the amount of troops you can have. The units themselves are stupid and will absolutely do nothing at all if you dont order them to, forcing you to micro manage and often times spread thin. Other than that i dont really have any complaints since its athmosphere, music and animation really bring alive the 1920+ universe and makes me even more excited to return to the boardgame! Which i highly recommend you play if you think this astethic is even remotely attractive or are in to strategy games. Im putting my review as negative since i dont think the game holds up on its own, and is really just a immersive fantasy break for players of the boardgame.

I wanted to like it but something just felt off. There was for sure balance issues for one but the general gameplay was just not satisfying. Shame as I really did dig the style.

It is a simplistic RTS but it has a fun core gameplay loop. I am hopeful for more from this in the series as the campaign story more than makes up for the simplistic RTS part of this

If you’re a fan of dieselpunk and RTS games, Iron Harvest on Steam is a must-try. Its gritty 1920s alternate history, drenched in dieselpunk aesthetics with hulking mechs and industrial vibes, perfectly blends with strategic real-time battles. The campaign’s rich story and faction variety make every match visually spectacular and tactically engaging.
Good + for fanboys.
Good for everybody else.

Never listen to those who put negative reviews on this game. This game is so fun and full of amazing things. There's more to this game than meets the eye. Hoping there will be more factions to be added and massive updates. More power for the devs.
