Great game that loves wasting your time.
The gameplay is solid and customising 'mechs with seemingly illogical weapon loadouts is always fun. What isn't fun is sitting around waiting for the game to allow you to do something, and this game absolutely revels in doing exactly that. This sounds like an odd complaint in a turn-based tactics game, but I'm not talking about the combat. Allow me to explain: Usually you'll only do about two contracts in a star system before moving on to the next. Travelling to another system typically takes 20+ in-game days, each of which takes more than a real-time second. You can't do anything during this time; if you want to check the store, your 'mech bay, 'mech pilots or whatever, time will pause until you're done. There's also some short but unskippable cutscenes every time you approach the jump ship taking you to another system, and when you reach orbit of whichever planet you were heading for, further adding to the amount of time the player spends waiting. There's absolutely no reason for inter-system travel to take this long. The game itself is great but I suspect I'll have spent several hours in total staring at my screen twiddling my thumbs by the time I finish it. I like Hare-brained Schemes' TBT games and the Battletech universe, and this game could've easily been 4, possibly 5 stars to me but the amount of time this game is happy to waste is completely unacceptable.
