Novelty Is Thy Name
HWM Singapore|August 2021
Yes, it has indeed been three years since Iron Harvest’s first Alpha test stomped into town, and although a lot of things can change within three years, I’m happy to say that my overall stellar opinion of the game isn’t one of them.

Iron Harvest is a real-time strategy game that’s loosely based on the Soviet-Polish war of 19191920. Chronologically, the in-game conflict takes place just after that period within a fictional version of Europe, and it features regionally-inspired countries like Polania, Saxony, and Review. However, it isn’t merely a simple rehash of games like Company of Heroes - what sets it apart from the acclaimed RTS great, at least aesthetically is the introduction of mechs into the formula, though of course, they aren’t as advanced as the ones you might see in Starcraft or Command & Conquer.

Nevertheless, this seemingly awkward concoction of the 1920s with weaponized dieselpunk-inspired robots actually works in the game’s favour, providing a dash of novelty that makes it instantly distinguishable from your everyday historical RTS.
