Our take on Harvested
Instead of separating strategic planning from direct combat, the game keeps city management and top-down shooting available together. Its maps also replace procedural generation with hand-crafted layouts built around particular strategies and hidden discoveries.
What is Harvested?
Harvested combines real-time strategy with a top-down shooter.
Build a city, manage resources, and construct facilities such as lumber mills, mining camps, and fishing wharfs. Workers can gather materials while the base expands through roads, planted trees, rivers, and fish. Defend the settlement directly with weapons including a knife, pistol, shotgun, machine gun, and sniper rifle, while turrets, barricades, and soldier units support the defense. The campaign contains 18 missions with objectives focused on economy, offense, or survival. Hand-crafted maps are built around different strategies and include hidden secrets. Freeplay maps offer survival sessions on Ceres. Two enemy factions use distinct AI types and attack with swords, guns, explosives, and other weapons.
