Critic Reviews


Lords Of Gaming - 9.3 / 10

Iron Harvest is one of the best RTS games to release in recent memory. Filled with an incredible single-player campaign, as well as intense multiplayer action. The game is an absolute must-play for fans of the genre.


IGN Italy - Italian - 9 / 10

You have a first world war setting (somewhat, it's 1920) and giant mechs to destroy everything with. Do you need anything else?


33bits - Spanish - 85 / 100

Iron Harvest 1920+ is not just another RTS. Its original setting and ingenious system of changing units make it a game to consider in the real-time strategy genre. As a downside, we can only highlight the lack of multiplayer maps and perhaps a little more variety of combat units, but the developers have already ensured that the game will receive new free content soon.


Gaming on PC - 8.5 / 10

KING Art Games’ first foray into the RTS genre is a more than worthy alternative to Relic’s Company of Heroes series.


PC Gamer - 82 / 100

Iron Harvest's mech-based strategy can burn a little slow, but the payoff is undoubtedly worth it.


The Games Machine - Italian - 8.2 / 10

For a first foray into the RTS genre, Iron Harvest 1920+ is a very good proof of competence. It's not perfect; while it's rich in singleplayer content, six maps is too little of a pool for multiplayer, and the gameplay could use some refinement. But it's a solid start, and the potential for greater things is definitely there.


GameWatcher - 8 / 10

One Small Step for RTS


Wccftech - 8 / 10

Iron Harvest could be best described as Company of Heroes with Mechs. That's high enough praise in itself and Iron Harvest lives up to it. Featuring great RTS combat across an extensive and engaging, campaign, skirmish levels, challenges, and multiplayer, you'll have a lot to bite into and enjoy. It's well balanced and at a pace which rewards tactical thinking over simple fast gameplay. There are a few slight issues, aesthetically it does feel like more could have been done, but it's still a decent enough looking game. There are also a few very minor bugs here and there, but nothing that can mar your enjoyment. Iron Harvest is a game I heartily recommend for strategy fans, particularly those who like the Company of Heroes style gameplay.


Spaziogames - Italian - 7.5 / 10

Iron Harvest is a classical RTS game, very insipired by Company of Heroes. It is not a revolutionary game, but the 1920+ universe adds a unique flavour.


Cultured Vultures - 5 / 10

Though excellent conceptually and visually, Iron Harvest is a run-of-the-mill real-time tactics game with significant unrealized potential, lack of depth, and minimal innovation.
