Campaign

Regions

The 15 campaign regions of IRON NEST, each with unique objectives, terrain, and targets. All names and achievement data sourced from Steam Community achievements.

The campaign is set in alternate-history Spain in the late 1920s, where the monarchy still holds power and a republican uprising is spreading across the country. You command a colossal dieselpunk turret under High Command's orders — but every chemical weapon decision is yours alone, and the press will report what you've done.
