IRON NEST: Heavy Turret Simulator

IRON NEST: Heavy Turret Simulator is developed and published by Nick Nieuwoudt and Dominik Latos. It released on August 6, 2026, for Windows via Steam. Set in an alternate-history Spain of the late 1920s teetering toward civil war, players operate a colossal 5,000-ton walking turret, translating radio orders into devastating, precisely calculated artillery strikes.

Sobre el juego

IRON NEST puts players directly inside the mechanisms of a massive war machine rather than behind a simplified interface. Every shot demands manually cranking elevation wheels, calculating propellant charges, and reading intelligence reports before committing to a firing solution. As a result, each strike feels deliberate and consequential, since a miscalculated shell can miss its mark entirely or land somewhere it shouldn’t.

Beyond raw mechanical operation, a tactical map ties every decision to the wider battlefield. Aerial photographs reveal the aftermath of previous strikes, and procedurally generated objectives keep each of the 15 regions feeling fresh across playthroughs. Over 30 unlockable ammo types, from armor-piercing rounds to smoke and gas shells, expand tactical options as players progress, while endless replayability, two challenge modes, and leaderboards give the campaign long-term staying power beyond its handcrafted story.
