Iron Harvest: Complete Edition

With RTS titles on console in very short supply, Iron Harvest Complete Edition is a welcome addition. Sure, it doesn’t do much differently in the genre to similar titles. But when there is such little choice for casual gamers, you would be crazy not to jump at this one if you love this type of game.

Console version of Iron Harvest feels like a lazy adaptation of a rather good RTS game. Perhaps the developers should have took a few ideas from something like Halo Wars 2, to avoid some small, but infuriating control issues.

‎Strategy, struggles, war, elements of science fiction and deep storytelling brings us Iron Harvest, an RTS inspired by the alternative universe of 1920+ by Polish artist Jakub Różalski.‎

Iron Harvest Complete Edition is one of those games that I wanted to love but only ended up liking it. Although it features an undeniably clever setting and rewarding gameplay, it's also quite a struggle to fully enjoy at times.

Iron Harvest skips for now the old-gen consoles, still with a release date to be destined, but arrives on the next-gen ones with a Complete Edition undoubtedly rich from the content point of view, albeit with some smudges in purely technical and playful terms.

Fans of strategy will not find anything revealing here, but they will definitely have fun. On the other hand, players who are interested in the plot can go through the production in a pleasant way on the easiest level of difficulty.

Iron Harvest Complete Edition makes the leap to console with some shadows, but a great story and outstanding contextualization work.

Even with the handicap that’s inherent when playing with a controller when compared to keyboard and mouse, Iron Harvest‘s overall rhythm isn’t impacted when playing this on console. It’s no secret that a controller can’t hold a candle when it comes to precision, but it could be a whole lot worse than this turned out to be. Yeah, this doesn’t exactly sound like a ringing endorsement for this port, but considering how badly RTS usually do in consoles, Iron Harvest Complete Edition is a big BIG win.

‎Recommending Iron Harvest: Complete Edition to any fan of strategy games is almost redundant, but that's not why it's still necessary. A very solid game for lovers of strategy that shows the potential that King Art Games has ahead with a title that is enhanced with the personality and originality of its story, its scenarios and the detail put in each of its sections.‎

Iron Harvest presents us a great title for lovers of real-time strategy, and above all, with all the DLCs so far. Hours and hours of guaranteed entertainment await us, even more so if we are expert collectors or "completionists". The game has a couple of extra modes, in addition to online multiplayer, that extend the experience beyond your campaign. Iron Harvest has a special charisma, especially for its artistic section, character personality and development of its campaigns.
