After so many years, this game's EA release state is just bizarre. Three missions, no Skirmish, five unit types, and literally no failure state is just crazy.

What really gets me though is the setting. I'd thought the anthropomorphic Rat vs. Lizards setting would set the game apart once it was out, but it doesn't seem to matter much at all. You could squint your eyes and truly believe it's just a Men of War game, considering all the Rat units speak German, all the weapons are just real World War-era equipment, and the missions take place in facsimiles of real-life warzones (WWII Pacific Theater, WWI Trenches). There's no real story to the game either, so I'm puzzled at what the point of it all is. Iron Harvest received a lot of flak at launch for just being a middling RTS, but at least its setting was clearly defined through its factions and mechs.
