#IRON HARVEST OPERATION EAGLE PC#

Just have your squad pick up the rocket launcher weapon and they would become anti-armor. Perhaps you need some anti-armor, but you have too many machine gunners. Maybe you find your mechs are on the verge of destruction well have them become engineers and they can repair your units. The standard infantry was particularly awesome as you could change a squad by having them pick up a new weapon. While I stumbled over the controls for the initial few missions once I learned the hot keys for things, I felt right at home commanding my army. Speaking of gameplay, this was one of the better RTS games I’ve played. For a game whose combat is very cover based, similarly to Company of Heroes, nothing will make enemies scatter like having a mech come stomping over their cover. Yes, they can take a beating, but if you use them recklessly you will quickly be looking at a flaming pile of junk. But just as in Titanfall 2, you learn that having a ‘mech’ doesn’t make you invincible. Being able to play with these walking behemoths from the very first mission was awesome and quite empowering. The game’s big unit before the warbirds came along, the bi-pedal mechs were the name of the game. From the snow-covered hills of Alaska to the deserts of Arabia for being an expansion Operation Eagle has a stellar campaign and from what I can tell the addition of these aerial units is a game changer. They introduce Captain William Mason, as he’s sent to Alaska to remove the Rusviets from damaging American business interests. Having sat out this alternate history’s version of WW1, the American Union of Usonia were able to build up their economy and military might helped by their “Diesel Birds”. Operation Eagle’s campaign takes place from the perspective of the Usonia, which is this world’s take on America. I began to think that maybe I am not as big a fan as I once was…but once I booted up Iron Harvest 1920: Operation Eagle I quickly found that love of resource gathering and army building that I thought was gone. I mean, I played a few ladder matches, but nothing like when I would spend hours in Brood War, WarCraft 3, and Red Alert 2. Again, as I said in the beginning, I am a fan of the genre, but it had dawned on me that I hadn’t actually really played an RTS since wrapping up StarCraft 2 Legacy of the Void.

Iron Harvest: Operation Eagle releases for PC on May 27th for $19.99 US.I’ve always considered myself a HUGE fan of the RTS genre, but when I was asked to review the latest expansion of Iron Harvest 1920 entitled Operation Eagle and found that it was an RTS it gave me sudden pause. Operation Eagle is also available as a standard DLC add-on for existing players on Steam, GOG, and Epic Games Store.

The standalone Steam version will contain the entire Usonia campaign along with the Polania tutorial levels and allows all players to compete in all multiplayer modes. This means that players who are new to Iron Harvest or want to check out Operation Eagle only can begin their conquest without purchasing the original base game (Steam only). Operation Eagle will launch on Steam as an exclusive standalone product. Every Iron Harvest player will get access to new units, buildings and maps via matchmaking.

The Operation Eagle DLC contains Usonia Faction with over 20 new units, Usonia Campaign (single player & co-op), three new playable heroes, new playable allies from a yet-to-be revealed secret faction, new flying units for all factions, new structures and anti-air defenses for all factions, and new multiplayer maps. KING Art Games have announced Iron Harvest: Operation Eagle, the upcoming content add-on that introduces the American Union of Usonia to the RTS game.
