Xbox Series X Critic Reviews

Iron Harvest is an absolute delight to play. If you’re a bit of an RTS noob you’ll never feel overwhelmed by the sheer amount to do or how to control your diverse army. The story will help keep you engrossed over the lengthy play time, as Iron Harvest Complete Edition provides access to characters you’ll actually care about, all as you hope to lead them to triumph.

The Xbox version of Iron Harvest: Complete Edition is finally here and we couldn’t ask for a better representation of the RTS genre on consoles. Truly an RTS masterpiece that will delight the fans of the genre.

Strategy, fighting, war, science fiction elements and deep storytelling brings us Iron Harvest, an RTS inspired by the 1920+ alternative universe by Polish artist Jakub Różalski.

Iron Harvest is one of the few RTS games on console and it seemingly knows that players won’t have many alternatives when it comes to the strategy itch. This game has an intriguing setting in Jakub RóżalskiIron’s 1920+ fictional universe, but its technical aspects are minimal and unrefined. Despite looking like at least two console generations too late, it’s prone to frame-rate drops and at times even crashes. Those willing to look past the rough exterior find campaign that is definitely worth playing and tells a compelling story, as well as a competitive multiplayer that suffers from poor balancing and extreme snowballing. Iron Harvest is not an easy game to love, yet I can understand anyone who does nonetheless.

Iron Harvest is a smart port to consoles with some minor control issues, this is an excellent RTS for anyone that wants to use a controller.

Console version of Iron Harvest feels like a lazy adaptation of a rather good RTS game. Perhaps the developers should have took a few ideas from something like Halo Wars 2, to avoid some small, but infuriating control issues.
