Evaluation

Iron Harvest launched on August 31, 2020 and received two paid DLC expansions: Rusviet Revolution on December 17, 2020, and Operation Eagle on May 27, 2021. Following those releases, the developer continued shipping free content updates through 2022, including a major World Map Campaign Mode introduced in June 2022 and expanded with additional maps in August and September 2022. The September 29, 2022 DevBlog (post #47) marked a clear endpoint for active content development. In it, the developer described the World Map update as a "final release" of that content strand, and explicitly stated: "With this final release of the big world map addon, we can't wait for your impressions and hope you will enjoy the missions and replayability for a long time." The same post noted that the team is "currently working on new awesome projects" — signaling that the studio has moved on to other games rather than continuing Iron Harvest development. The post also mentioned that "Iron Harvest will continue to receive ongoing support with new seasons and cool rewards," but this refers to cosmetic seasonal content rather than substantive new game content. No new named DLC, expansions, or major updates have been announced since that date, and both DLC entries on the store are fully released. With both paid DLC shipped, the final free content wave complete as of September 29, 2022, and the developer explicitly indicating they've moved to other projects, the game is best understood as a complete package. No further content has been announced, and developer communication has gone silent since that final 2022 post — now over three and a half years ago.

About this game


Iron Harvest is a real-time strategy game (RTS) set in the alternate reality of 1920+, just after the end of the Great War. The Game lets you control giant dieselpunk mechs, combining epic singleplayer and coop campaigns as well as skirmishes with intense action on the battlefield for multiplayer fans, Iron Harvest is the classic real-time strategy game fans have been waiting for.

Tradition clashes with scientific and technological progress, while Europe is still recovering from the brutal battles of the World War. Cities are being rebuilt and in the countryside, the era of the Iron Harvest has begun. Farmers are uncovering the remains of the majestic walking machines that had fought on the battlefields of the Great War.

In the midst of this chaos, a new threat appears that will put Europe’s very existence at risk. Secret forces are putting everything they can towards destabilization of entire countries, determined to set the world on fire once again and finally seize control.



Lead dozens of different unit types into battle, carefully utilize cover and blast entire buildings to shreds. Take your time to come up with a plan which allows for a wide range of tactics, including a stealth approach. Mechs. We got mechs. Lots of them.


Experience an epic overarching story, spanning more than 20 missions over three campaigns. Join nine charismatic heroes and their beastly companions in their adventures across Europe. Team-up with a friend and master all campaigns side-by-side in co-op.


Command three diverse factions with over 40 unit types and 9 heroes with unique abilities. Setup skirmish and multiplayer matches any way you want. Configure your personal game interface and choose your favourite input controls.


Competitive multiplayer with ladders, ranked matches & leagues. Choose from a vast selection of skirmish maps and challenge maps, available to play in singleplayer and coop. In addition expect regular free updates during the season, including new singleplayer challenges, multiplayer maps and more to look forward to.


Conquer resource points, build your base and place fortifications to protect your unit production and research.
