The early bird video trailer gives us a first notion of the game setting and mechanics. The story is set in around 1920, in a parallel universe where players are welcome to partake in alternate global warfare. Iron Harvest proffers an open, almost entirely destructible environment to be filled with a wide range of wondrous combat units. There’s gonna be a place where quasi-WWI soldiers are backed by fires of stalwart mechs towering on the battlefield.
The game is reported to sport singleplayer, co-op and multiplayer modes along with an opportunity to join the ranks of one of three factions. Over 40 combat unit types, a diverse roster of weapons and three playable hero characters are at the hands of gamers to fortify their production and research homebase and to overwhelm their opponents.
