Story[]
In the early 20th century, tradition clashes with progress, and the world is still full of mysteries and secrets. Humankind, fascinated by technology, iron, and engines, invented powerful walking machines, that proved to be mighty weapons on the battlefields of the Great War and are now part of everyday life. Now, a few years after the Great War, secret forces are working towards the destabilization of Europe, determined to set the world on fire and seize control.
Development[]
- Alpha 1 is going to be a very early singleplayer test version that's all about the basics: Controls, UI, basic gameplay, main units, performance/compatibility and so on.
- Alpha 2 will focus on multiplayer and enables play against other backers for the first time.
- Beta: First look at all the game modes, including first single player campaign missions.
Features[]
- Iron Harvest gives players time to come up with a plan and allows for a wide range of tactics, including stealth.
- Almost everything in the game is destructible – if the weapon is powerful enough. So no cover lasts forever and the line of sight changes constantly.
- Three playable factions with over 40 unit types and 9 heroes
- Each faction has three playable hero characters that offer additional options in combat and reconnaissance.
- Lead dozens of different unit types into battle. Soldiers can equip weapons on the battlefield to gain special abilities and more firepower.
- Players can build their base and add fortifications to protect unit production and research.
- Three singleplayer campaigns with an overarching story (21 missions)
- Singleplayer & Co-op skirmish matches
- Singleplayer & Co-op challenge maps
- Competitive multiplayer (ranked matches, seasons)
- Free DLC & Updates
- The free DLC campaign tells a story that takes places prior to the events of the main game. It’s about two of the heroes and one other important character and their shared history. There had been a series of fights that are important for the main campaign, but these took place years before. It will probably contain 4 missions and potentially some gameplay alterations. Release will be within six months after the release of the main game – free for all backers.
Controls[]
- Select units with the left mouse button and issue orders with the right mouse button.
- To quickly select more than one squad, drag the mouse button over them, creating a selection rectangle.
- To use a special unit action, click on the action button, then confirm by clicking on the battlefield with the left mouse button.
