KING Art Games’ intriguing steampunk strategy title Iron Harvest is scheduled to release in 2018 but it will also have a Kickstarter taking place on March 13th. As of now, the goals and funding amount aren’t known. We’re also unsure how this affects the current release window. Perhaps the crowd-funding campaign is for any additional funding needed at the final stretch.
Regardless, what we’ve seen about Iron Harvest has been very impressive. It takes place in an alternate-history post-World War 1 universe where three major factions rule. These are the Saxony Empire, the Rusviet and Polania Republic, each with their own playable campaign and story. The twist is that each nation has huge steampunk mechs to fight along with the traditional soldiers.
With the setting created by Polish artist Jakub Różalski, Iron Harvest definitely has promise. It’s in development for Xbox One, PS4 and PC so stay tuned for more information on the Kickstarter.
