Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
This vision is largely drawn from the evocative artwork of Jakub Różalski, whose paintings breathe life into the game’s environments and characters, giving it a style that’s both nostalgic and fresh.

Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
Iron Harvest is a distinctive real-time strategy game that stands out by blending classic RTS gameplay with a richly imagined alternate history setting.
74 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
The graphics were great.
28 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
The setting gets well fleshed out in the lengthy campaign which has a nice story with solid voice acting and does not have the tutorial type feel many RTS campaigns have (except the early missions).
19 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
Co-op campaign play is available but limited, requiring players to share control over bases and manage connectivity issues such as desynchronized cutscenes.
9 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
