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.
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 Usonian war effort fights its way from the arctic plains of Alaska, to the burning hot desert of Arabia - the newly introduced sub-faction of the Iron Harvest 1920+ universe. From the frying pan into the fire, commanding the flying squadron of Usonia challenges pilots and patriots alike.
Introducing sub-faction, Arabia:
Arabia is a prosperous nation, rich in trade and oil. Its lands are populated by various tribes with complex politics. With the increased mass production of mechs, the Empire of Saxony now has a need and sees an opportunity to occupy Arabian land and claim its resource deposits for themselves. Having watched the devastation of the World War from afar, the reigning king accepts a concession with Saxony to avoid conflict. Arabia’s Bedouins fiercely resist against the Saxony encroachment, but the Saxony war machines prove difficult to overcome. In desperation, the King of Arabia secretly contacts an ex-colonial nation - Usonia - to help Arabia reclaim its independence. Hope remains they will send aid for liberation.

The Polania Republic is a large agricultural country with a long history.

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...
