Iron Harvest - One month left on Kickstarter

[Stg-Flame]

I normally don't advertise for KS since I've always believed if the game is good enough, it will get funding long before the goal has ended (especially considering some of the garbage that raised millions in a few weeks then fell way short), but this game looks like it could go the distance.

It seems to be a DieselPunk RTS in the style of Company of Heroes. Fully destructable environment, huge mechs, and more of a tactics-based than zerg-rush style RTS. I've always loved games styled like Company of Heroes and Faces of War (truly underrated game), so I'm hoping this one can meet its goal before April 14th. They need about $60,000 more but have already raised $390,000 so I'm thinking the goal can be met. Even if you don't want to back this game, maybe share it around and keep the ball rolling. Who knows, you may see this on GoG, Humble, or Steam in a few years on sale just because you shared it around.

The videos look pretty cool, especially for the game still being in alpha.

Edit: And yes, for all those table-top fans out there, the artwork was done by the same guy who made Scythe. In fact, he did all of the artwork long before Scythe and Iron Harvest and wanted to make a game based around the art. It just happened that we get two games out of the mix.

Looks cool, definitely a Company of Heroes vibe from the trailer. Will do more research, won't pitch in to the kickstarter but will probably buy once it hits full release.

I love the art direction.....but I am so over RTS....just give me a good story in a single player campaign.

The art direction is great. I am happy that it is more strategy based instead of reaction time based (Don't get me wrong, I love SC/SC2, but the learning curve to get to the upper levels of play is extremely steep). And, happy it will have a big campaign with no extra monetization.

Also: They are now at $527k

I was not expecting that. They stagnated around the $340,000 mark for a while but this is great news.

Does look cool, $55 for a Kickstarter is more than I’d like to spend

Definitely a well-organized kickstarter campaign. It does look cool but.....I still haven't finished any of the CoH games.

Uhhh...according to the Kickstarter, multiplayer gets added at the $1,000,000 goal. So unless that is reached, it's literally only going to be a single player campaign game.

The only reason I would buy it, co-op campaign, gets added at $1.1 million.

Well what I mean is, the art direction looks to just be cgi and cut scenes. The actual game is overhead RTS style.
