Great tactical strategy game
While not a new game, Battletech still holds up against leaders in the genre. It offers a rich setting with plenty of variation in mission and unit design. Combat is satisfying & visceral and progression feels rewarding. I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys turn based tactics games.

Lags and random
Ok, I tried. This game just bad. First horrible, optimization, everything lagging. I can't name save file! All interface is bad. Base development is just useless. Combat is pure random, I mean, bots just rush you, and you can do is hide under some rock and kill em one by one! They always overwhelms in pure power, but you can't use tactic, u have no tools! Just stretch em and focus fire one by one. And then some random head shot comes and you need 5 minuts to restart! Oh, and weapon balance, just forget it! Rockets so OP there is no point in any other types. Can't judge multiplayer, but singleplayer is very bad. Just don't touch this!

An exercise in frustration
Devs had no idea what to actually make with this. You get 4 mechs and fight 32, 16% of randon generated missions are 2x-3x more challenging then the rating suggests which is supposed to be for "Immersion" but really its a copout to good game design as the missions in question will always be over powered so the idea that your just supposed to run instead of the mission being adequately balanced is tossed up to "lore reasons" as if the missions in question ever changed to be doable without being uptonned to try and compensate, looking at you Attack/defend base in particular. But reviewer wont mods help here? Nope. In fact mods can truly exacerbate things. The game can be fun, but wait for a sale.

Great Strategy Game
It's got mechs and a deep strategic turn-based combat. Whether you go on career mode or campaign, you will have to manage your mechs, choose, plan and execute your battles carefully as repair costs could quickly pile up. The greater the difficulty of the mission the greater the potential for a higher payoff. Some battles have hidden objectives, i.e. destroy all turrets. All missions give you a choice of what parts/equipment/weapon to salvage. Prior to the mission itself, you can opt to gain more options in the salvageable items (assuming you survive and you successfully completed a mission) or a higher payout. A third option exists: opting for a reputation gain in the faction providing the mission. It also has some RPG elements: you can customize your mechwarriors '(battlemech pilots) skills. They gain experience as they participate in mission. There are random mini-story which could select mechwarriors experience points, new equipment, and/or mechwarrior status, e.g. low spirits, high spirits. The RPG elements are not only confined to the mechwarriors, once you have access to a more permanent dropship, you can task your engineer to make upgrades. Overall, this game is a deep, highly enjoyable game.

Mistakes cost hours...
I only got to the end of the first mission. It took me an hour, I failed at the last step and teh game wanted me to start from the begining of the mission. I never want to replay the last hour of gameplay in a game. So that's it for me for this game. Can't really tell you if its good or bad, but no checkpoint or autosave with missions that last >1hr is a dealbreaker.
