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.

KING Art launched the Iron Harvest Multiplayer Alpha for supporters on Steam today. Interested players can join the Alpha by pre-ordering the game on the official website to get access to many new dieselpunk mechs and challenging multiplayer PVP and co-op maps with up to four friends.

“I already lost 8 out of 10 matches against a pro player from Company of Heroes. It is time to see how other players are doing!” – Julian Strzoda, Executive Producer.

With the multiplayer launch, players can wreck enemy mechs and wreak havoc on the environment by testing their skills and strategies against more than 20.000 Kickstarter backers.
The real-time destruction and cover system will quickly turn the idyllic rural landscapes into a WW1 battlefield. Befitting of the winter season, players can stomp through a new snow-covered map and conquer an abandoned castle. Build heavy artillery and break through the fortifications of the enemy’s base. Yup, there is base building.   

The Alpha 2 offers:

• Classic Real-time Strategy feeling.
• Multiplayer and co-op matches, in addition to skirmishes against the strong AI.
• Two 1v1 maps, one 2v2 map and a challenge map (horde mode).
• There are 8 infantry units, 10 mechs and two weapon systems (field cannon & heavy MG).
• Base building, bunkers and fortifications.
• A ton of improvements based on community feedback from Alpha 1.

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.

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...
