Iron Harvest

Very enjoyable, but rough.

I have a hard time rating this game. It's one of those games that if you want, you can nitpick it to death and you still won't cover everything. And I will be first to admit that I might be a bit biased towards this title, because it's the only title in history that allows me to command a battalion of Polish dieselpunk gundam during Interwar times and that's just metal as all hell. On one hand, it's a really fun RTS, with some very strong singleplayer aspect, good campaign with well put-together story and fantastic art direction. On the other, you can feel this is a budget title made by a small team and as such is very rough around the edges. If you were expecting the game that will dethrone Company of Heroes, curb your expectations. The pretty steep price is also a big turn-off for an indie title but with all the expansions you are getting your money's worth and the game is frequently on sale. But still, there is enough good in it to in my opinion still recommend the game, depending on what you want. If you are interested in a good singleplayer-focused experience with some really fun campaign set in some truly unique world, you may give it a try. If you want a more multiplayer-focused experience, I suspect CoH might be a more fullfilling choice. In the end of the day, during my 40 hour playthrough I had legit fun, therefore a slightly skewered 4/5 score. For the ambition alone. And the game has a pretty strong post-launch support from the devs, so that's nice.
