'Iron Harvest' (ALL) Gets Free Weekend Deal, Operation Eagle Add-On Announced - Screens & Trailer

by Rainier on April 29, 2021 @ 12:44 p.m. PDT

Iron Harvest is a real-time strategy game set in the world of 1920+, an alternate version of our own world where mankind, fascinated by technology, engines and iron, invented powerful walking machines.

Once mighty weapons on the battlefields of the Great War, they are now part of everyday life. Mighty factions fight for influence, while hidden forces are working towards the destabilization of Europe, determined to set the world on fire once again. 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.

After World War 1 farmers found a plethora of unexploded ordnance, barbed wire, weapons, shrapnel and bullets while ploughing their fields. They called it the Iron Harvest.

You lead hero characters, mechs, and soldiers into battle. Cover mechanics and dynamic destruction play a major role in combat. Your squads take cover automatically, but a simple brick wall will only offer protection against small calibers, not against mech-mounted cannons. Throughout its open sandbox levels you have to find your own way to reach the goals set by the dynamic story line.

The Saxony Empire is one of the most influential countries in Europe, with powerful industry, developed cities, modern factories and a strong military tradition. After the unfavorable conditions of surrender in the Great War, the current mood in the Empire is bad, and proud elites and humiliated aristocrats secretly oppose the Emperor’s appeasement policies.


Make way for freedom, the Yanks are coming to Iron Harvest on May 27, 2021 for $19.99.

At the dawn of the 20th century shortly after the end of World War I, the world is full of secrets, mysteries, opportunities and challenges. Tradition clashes with scientific and technological progress as Europe recovers from the brutal battles of the World War. Launched to critical and commercial success in 2020, Iron Harvest is classic RTS gameplay at its very best.  

The American Union of Usonia stayed out of World War I and became an economic and military powerhouse, unnoticed by Europe’s old elites. Relying heavily on their “Diesel Birds,” the Usonia faction brings American might to the Iron Harvest battlefield.

The Operation Eagle add-on contains:

  • Usonia Faction with over 20 new units
  • Complete Usonia Campaign (single player & co-op)
  • Three new playable heroes
  • New playable allies from a yet-to-be revealed secret faction
  • New flying units for all factions
  • New structures and anti-air defenses for all factions
  • New multiplayer maps

Every Iron Harvest player will get access to new units, buildings and maps via matchmaking.

In an exciting first, Iron Harvest: Operation Eagle will launch on Steam as an exclusive standalone product. This means that players who are new to Iron Harvest or want to check out Operation Eagle only can begin their conquest without purchasing the original base game (Steam only). The standalone Steam version will contain the entire Usonia campaign along with the Polania tutorial levels and allows all players to compete in all multiplayer modes. Operation Eagle is also available as a standard DLC add-on for existing players on Steam, GOG, and Epic Games Store.

KING Art Games and Valve have agreed on a Steam Free Weekend Deal starting from April 29th to May 3rd. During this special event players can download Iron Harvest for free and enjoy the award-winning story campaign and test their skills together or against friends in intense multiplayer battles.

KING Art Games and Deep Silver released a road map displaying the upcoming free updates and next content beats for the game during September. 

The Polania Republic is a large agricultural country with a long history. It is trying to maintain its status and territory, struggling with its aggressive neighbors: The Saxony Empire in the west and Rusviet in the east. Polania initiated a program to modernize its army while a large part of the country is still occupied by Rusviet forces.

Rusviet Rusviet is huge, powerful, and has unmatched industrial and population potential. However, the country is tired and worn out by the long war. People are frustrated, and the power of Tsar Nikolaj weakens. Mysterious Grigori Rasputin has become an extraordinarily powerful man and revolution is in the air...

1920+ was developed by Polish artist Jakub Różalski and earned him a cult-following because of his beautiful artworks painted in the style of the old masters.

Key Features:

  • Three playable factions with over 40 unit types and 9 heroes 
  • 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

Iron Harvest is currently available for PC (Steam and GOG), with PS4 and Xbox One versions to follow at a later time.
