Iron Harvest

First of all: the game has its rough corners and edges. The Ui is sometimes unresponsive, the Mechs behave frome Time to Time like the Harvesters in C&C... but you can feel the Passion, the Devs put in this Game. The had my Interest with the Tutorial. But the catched me with the Story and Characters. I was instantly in the Story, like the Protagonists und the Soundtrack... Long Story short: If you like a game with a fresh Setting and a in my Opinion good Story, buy Iron Harvest and support the Devs :)

This game is not a highly polished rts and it shows. However you can feel the amount of care and work that's been put into it. The dieselpunk alternate history of 1920+ is beautiful aesthetically if not exactly top notch graphically. The story is competently told, but not really an outstanding element. The game plays well enough: the cover is a little finicky at times and I feel like buildings ought to block line of sight a bit better, but positioning your mechs to flank your enemies is a wonderful feeling. As far as bugs go, I haven't encountered any particularly egregious. I have nothing to say about the multiplayer, since I don't really play multiplayer..... It's worth a play, but if you want a more complete and polished experience Company of Heroes and Warhammer 40k Dawn of War are much more solidly put together.

TL:DR; the game plays a bit like an unpolished version of company of heroes in a dieselpunk alternative universe theme. The story isnt thát great but its enjoyable. The maps are fun enough, the alternative units are well made and the gameplay is varied. It also has some flaws but no showstoppers. Im a big fan of RTS games. It plays a bit like an old school rts like company of heroes where you have class based units which can counter other classes (infantry, mechs, etc). I like it how it's different but yet familiar. Instead of tanks you have mechs in all sizes. The bigger the mech, the more you can wreck. The story isn't thát great but the maps does offer a nice variety of plays. With base, without base, defense against waves, single hero missions etc. But the whole post ww1 setting with mechs as cavalry units is very nice. Something else than the standard light armored jeeps and slow heavy tanks. Keep the small and agile mechs to flank enemies while biggies blow everything up. Its quite satisfying. The unit cap prevents you from turtling and build a huge zerg of heavy units and the campaign maps are large enough that you can't maximum defend everything. So it's sort of challenging but not that hard. Here's the unpolished part, where in COH you could clear out an entire building with grenades, it takes a few. Fire sometimes kills all the units or something no one. The whole cover doesnt work out properly, if you have more than one unit selected only one will take over etc. This couldve been done better but its something you can get used to. As an RTS i do recommend it because it's fun, and finally a worthy RTS! Is it perfect? No but there is enough thought in this game to make it fun.

If you love Company of Heroes, Dawn of War, Starcraft 2, or Command and Conquer you'll love this game. I've really enjoyed the single player campaign. I know some people have been disappointed by the small amount of multiplayer maps, but the devs have already confirmed there's going to be a continuous stream of new maps, and additional features. This game has scratched a strategy itch which I desperately needed. I would love to see additional factions/campaigns in future dlc. I'd especially like to see the Nordic Kingdoms and the Togawa Shogunate make a appearance.

Gra działa ok (kupiłem ją miesiąc temu). Nie grałem w company of heros, więc nie odniosę się do podobnych porównań. Jest klimat, dobre story. Zupełnie inny system walki niż w SC2 lub SC:BW. Tutaj czasami lepiej stracić kopalnię żelaza lub rafinerię ropy niż stracić jednostkę. Trzeba robić duży mikro managment z nastawieniem na osłony, ścieżkę ataku lub obrony często w kilku miejscach na mapie. Przydaje się przy wariancie trudnym zapamiętanie które jednostki są dobre na których przeciwników oraz bindowanie żołnierzy pod klawisze. W skrócie polecam
