Critic Reviews
- It offers a simple yet thoroughly engaging story, replayable missions with special challenges, and a smorgasbord of obstacles to overcome with the help of the new aerial units. Iron Harvest’s campaign mode has always been its standout feature, and the Usonia campaign raises the bar with a hefty helping of consistent challenges. The new units, on the other hand, make a less-than-stellar first impression.
Lawrence Le · May 31, 2021 Reviewed on PCRead full review - Do I think Iron Harvest has the makings of legends? Not exactly. But I do think it offers a unique enough flavor for anyone looking to sate their RTS appetite will find a good offering here. You won’t see it headlining any major esports events, but not every game needs to be the next big thing to be worth it. Sometimes just being different and relatively well made makes it worth checking out.
Johnathan Irwin · Sep 24, 2020 Reviewed on PCRead full review - Iron Harvest shines the brightest when it focuses on its imaginative alternative history milieu, incredibly well-designed robots, and even its story, which is much more engaging than simply being a premise to get the mechs on the battlefield. One could complain that it doesn’t go far enough in changing the mechanics of the genre, but it isn’t like gamers are inundated with Company of Heroes-like titles.
Mark Steighner · Sep 23, 2020 Reviewed on PC - 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.
Chris Bowman · Sep 22, 2020 Reviewed on PCRead full review - 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.
Pieter Jasper · Sep 21, 2020 Reviewed on PCRead full review - By borrowing solid mechanics from the best of the genre, Iron Harvest has the makings of a pretty good RTS. What pushes it across the finish line is a well-realized setting, a wonderful aesthetic, and a solid grounding in what sort of story it wants to tell. I personally wish it could have had more fun with the world, but that’s just me.
Jake Hills · Sep 21, 2020 Reviewed on PCRead full review - While the game is certainly not perfect, for the developers’ second attempt at an RTS, Iron Harvest has a lot of potential. Once the multiplayer, competitive, and co-op features are added, Iron Harvest is sure to become a staple of the RTS genre.
Liv Harris · Sep 17, 2020 Reviewed on PCRead full review - A decent RTS that takes the core feeling of Company of Heroes and improves it with mechs and modern graphics. And while the quick match function may sometimes throw you to the much higher level wolves, there’s enough in here to scratch that strategy itch and plenty of (blech) encouragement to play frequently. Now all we need are those promised deathmatch maps and co-op modes and that'll round things off quite nicely.
Anna Blackwell · Sep 07, 2020 Reviewed on PC - 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.
TJ Denzer · Sep 05, 2020 Reviewed on PCRead full review - 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.
