Buy Iron Nest: Heavy Turret Simulator PC key

Iron Nest: Heavy Turret Simulator is a first-person heavy-artillery game set in an alternate-history Spain in the late 1920s, where the monarchy still rules and a republican uprising is spreading. You operate a 5,000-ton turret, manage its mechanisms and make tactical decisions as you carry out a campaign of procedurally generated objectives and a handcrafted story.

Operate the turret

You control the turret manually, from its elevation wheel and propellant settings to the heavy lever that turns the structure. The guns take time to swing, giving you a chance to handle other tasks as they move. Use a ballistic calculator to work out firing solutions, then adjust the charge and aim: shells can travel across the horizon or arc toward enemy emplacements. Accurate measurements and the right propellant charge matter to each shot.

The machine can fail, and you are responsible for its operation. You can fire armor-piercing rounds at bunkers and smoke shells to screen friendly withdrawals. The game includes 30 unlockable ammunition types and abilities.

Intelligence and orders

Teleprinters monitor local radio traffic. One delivers high-priority directives from High Command, while the other relays calls from the frontline. You turn intelligence reports into battle plans, consult aerial photographs showing the results of your actions and use a tactical map to track the battlefield. You can move markers on the map, but the damage to the landscape remains.

Campaign and challenges

The campaign unfolds across 15 regions. Alongside its handcrafted story and procedurally generated objectives, the game includes newspaper reports, two challenge modes, leaderboards and over 100 unlockable medals. You can also customize a cat companion and use the turret's warhorn.
