About IRON NEST: Heavy Turret Simulator

A brutal dieselpunk heavy-artillery simulator where you dominate the battlefield through a colossal war machine. Every lever, every dial, and every shot is under your control. High Command may send its orders, but the chain of command ends at your fingertips. They don't carry consequences. You do, Operator.MAKE EVERY SHOT COUNT.Calibrate the teleprinters to monitor local radio traffic, push the dial far enough, and unfamiliar channels will answer. One delivers High Command's TOP-PRIORITY directives. The other relays direct calls from the frontline.
Remember: Sometimes the most useful message is the one nobody intended to send.Transform intelligence reports into a battle plan, get aerial photos that reveal the outcome of your actions, and watch your barrels reshape the landscape. The map isn't here just for measurements. It's also your window to the battlefield. Make no mistake. You can move the markers, but the scars remain. Hammer the measurements, crank the numbers, and watch the ballistic calculator grind toward firing solutions. Drive the charges higher to blast shells across the horizon, or dial it back to arc them deliberately into enemy emplacements.
Beware: the machine may fail. You must not.Breach bunkers with armor-piercing rounds, screen friendly withdrawals with smoke, and ████ █████████ with phosgene gas. It never happened if there are no witnesses. Every shell is forged for a single purpose, and whatever you choose will echo across the battlefield long after the smoke clears.Haul the elevation wheel and watch the guns climb under your command. Match it with the exact propellant charge, or a surgical strike will turn into an avoidable mess. Precision is everything because neither flawless paperwork nor the finest propaganda will erase your guilt.Drag the heavy lever and feel the entire structure shudder beneath your feet. A machine like IRON NEST doesn't spin on a whim. It takes time to swing that much iron with grace. Skilled Operators use that time to handle other tasks. After all, the coffee machine on your desk is there for a reason.Pull the trigger, and let thousands of tons of machinery answer your call. Feel the turret recoil and watch the frontline crumble under the weight of steel. Once the dust settles, only silence remains, hanging heavy in the air, and the moment new orders arrive, it all begins again.Key FeaturesHeavy-Artillery Simulator ✔ Dieselpunk Aesthetics ✔ Interactive Tactical MapHands-On Massive MechanismsManual Control of a 5,000 Ton Turret✔ Procedurally Generated Objectives✔ Endless Replayability8x Challenge ModesLeaderboardsHandcrafted StoryNewspaper Reports✔ Unlockable 30x Ammo Types✔ Unlockable 20x Abilities15x RegionsSettingThe campaign is set in alternate-history Spain in the late 1920s, on the brink of a civil war. In this timeline, the monarchy still holds power, and a republican uprising is spreading across the country. The TeamIRON NEST is a two-person passion project from Nick Talmers (development) and Dominik Latos (propaganda). With 20+ years of combined experience and a lifelong obsession with artillery, interwar machinery, and dieselpunk, we're building the game we've wanted to play for years. Nick has dreamed of IRON NEST for over a decade, and after meeting through developer-publisher collaborations, we decided it was time to bring this heavy spider-turret simulator, dripping with steel and power, to life. AcknowledgementsThe response has exceeded our wildest expectations. Thank you (truly) for every wishlist, message, and bit of support. It means even more because Heavy Turret Simulator is just the first step in the IRON NEST universe.IRON NEST: Heavy Turret Simulator is a first-person heavy-artillery experience that blends tactical problem-solving, complex war-machine management, and strategic decision-making into a genre of its own. The inspirations behind the game range from 1990s anime and Cannon Fodder to Nick’s passion for engineering and artillery. Also, we would like to acknowledge PVKK, which, in our view, helped shape the genre in which IRON NEST proudly stands.HEARING LOSS IS NOT SERVICE-RELATED

Fun and exciting - easy recommend if you are a fan of sub sims or other sim-type wargames. Gameplay loop is similar to Silent Hunter in that most of your time is spent drawing on a map and manipulating dials, often under time pressure. While you will unlock multiple types of munitions and find yourself in varying combat situations, do not expect the gameplay to be quite as deep as the classic sub games. ~12 hour campaign with additional unlimited skirmish modes and multiplayer leaderboards to compare high scores.

This is one of the greatest games I've ever played. I followed the development for months and every second of wait was worth it. It is honestly so much fun to plot my targets on a map, interact with the Iron Nest, listen to the music, pet the cat. There's not a single thing I can complain about in this game. It is honestly worth every cent.

Great game (WITH MATHS) not many games can have that and be good :D)) . Putting a naval gun on legs couldn't be a better concept with a even better execution. . and seeing that it will have multiplayer, one day, I can press my friends into service! . GLORY TO CASTILE ! ! !

I've always loved doing stuff with artillery and this scratches that itch so good. The icing on the cake is being able to lob these car sized chunks of boom while snuggling the adorable cat!! Turned him into my first cat and I got to kinda hang out with him while playing games again.
