Iron Nest: Heavy Turret Simulator - A unique dieselpunk heavy turret simulation game
IRON NEST: Heavy Turret Simulator is a first-person heavy artillery simulation game featuring a distinctive dieselpunk aesthetic. Players take direct control of a colossal 5,000-ton fortress turret, calculating ballistic trajectories and mastering every moment of the battlefield through realistic manual operation.
An alternate historical setting with realistic gameplay
Set in an alternate version of Spain during the late 1920s as the nation teeters on the brink of civil war, you play as the Operator, an artillery specialist responsible for commanding a massive war machine under orders from the High Command.
The gameplay emphasizes hands-on mechanical operation and tactical decision-making:
- Ballistic calculations: Use interactive maps, telegraph systems, and aerial reconnaissance photos to determine target coordinates.
- Manual controls: Turn gears, pull levers, and adjust propellant charges for every shot by hand.
- Multiple ammunition types: Choose from armor-piercing, smoke, and special shells to match your tactical objectives.
- Equipment maintenance: Mechanical failures can occur at any time, requiring timely repairs to keep the turret fully operational.
Key features
- Realistic operation of a massive 5,000-ton turret.
- Procedurally generated objectives across 15 different map regions.
- Unlock more than 30 ammunition types, skills, and over 100 achievement medals.
- Features online leaderboards, challenge modes, and customization options for your feline companion.
The game is developed by Nick Talmers and Dominik Latos, two independent developers who have spent years exploring the history of artillery and interwar military machinery. IRON NEST: Heavy Turret Simulator is scheduled to launch on August 6, 2026, for PC via Steam.
