BATTLETECH - Season Pass



From original BATTLETECH/MechWarrior creator Jordan Weisman and the developers of the award-winning Shadowrun Returns series comes the next-generation of turn-based tactical 'Mech combat.

The year is 3025 and the galaxy is trapped in a cycle of perpetual war, fought by noble houses with enormous, mechanized combat vehicles called BattleMechs. Take command of your own mercenary outfit of 'Mechs and the MechWarriors that pilot them, struggling to stay afloat as you find yourself drawn into a brutal interstellar civil war. Upgrade your starfaring base of operations, negotiate mercenary contracts with feudal lords, repair and maintain your stable of aging BattleMechs, and execute devastating combat tactics to defeat your enemies on the battlefield.



  • COMMAND A SQUAD OF 'MECHS IN TURN-BASED COMBAT: Deploy over 30 BattleMechs in a wide variety of combinations. Use terrain, positioning, weapon selection and special abilities to outmaneuver and outplay your opponents.

  • MANAGE YOUR MERCENARY COMPANY: Recruit, customize, and develop unique MechWarriors. Improve and customize your dropship. As a Mercenary, travel a wide stretch of space, taking missions and managing your reputation with a variety of noble houses and local factions.

  • TAKE PART IN A DESPERATE CIVIL WAR: Immerse yourself in the story of a violently deposed ruler, waging a brutal war to take back her throne with the support of your ragtag mercenary company.

  • CUSTOMIZE YOUR 'MECHS: Use your MechLab to maintain and upgrade your units, replacing damaged weapon systems with battlefield salvage taken from fallen foes.

  • PVP MULTIPLAYER & SKIRMISH MODE: Customize a Lance of 'Mechs and MechWarriors to go head-to-head with your friends, compete against opponents online, or jump into single-player skirmish mode to test your strategies against the AI.

One big mess

The game literally crashes every time I close it and I have to force a shutdown with task manager. The gameplay doesn't feel good or fair; and while the plot is interesting it's not enough to make up for it. This is one of those games that I would sooner reccomend people watch a let's play of it than actually play. If you're a hardcore fan for the battletech universe then you MAY be able to look over some of the issues but for an average joe like me it's just a crappy tactics game with an ok plot slapped on top.

Good with flaws

The menu's are unfortunately a lot of the game lol. I'm here to play the actual game which is on a map (yes that thing). When will devs learn? Idk either. I don't want to be throw up yet another menu window that I have to read because it forces you to choose about random dumb things. Partial day's work to substantially improve the game by offering a setting or more to toggle this stuff as I'm not the only one I guaragee you that finds it not fun. They never would have thought. However, the game is fun enough when you take away all the cons. The above is really the majority of the 2 star removal for me. Probably only about .5 of the 2 stars would be from the rest of the gameplay issues for me which includes various things like having to farm stats or the fact that battle mechs aren't sold in one piece and with high prices for only a piece of a mech. Those things make playing more annoying. Its not brillant like some other review suggests. Its fun with flaws. If you can deal with the flaws or not, idk. Not everyone will I can tell you that.

Good, gets tedious

Game is good, but it gets tedious. Additionally, if playing on Macbook with Mx chips (M1, M2, M3, etc.), game is broken unless running in debug/cheat mood. This allows you to skip certain missions that cannot be completed due to a glitch. Apart from those issues, game is fun.

Great Game Despite Issues

I have sunk 10hrs into this in the span of a sunday. I haven't been sucked into a game like this in years. Just a simple well made experience. Now their is a caveat which is allied NPC missions. They have a tendency to break the game on a Mac Silicon. Waiting 10 irl minutes for them to move is mind breaking haha. Yet for some reason I still keep restarting. Thanks for the great experience devs, I just bought the DLCs.

Great at first but annoying later.

Great at first - SUPER annoying after some time. Great war machines and brave MechWarriors, exploring space, upgrading units and space ship. All sounds great! The story is I like it. I like the OST and graphics. Alas, fights are totally unbalanced at some point, playing gets simply annoying and boring. 4 vs. a Horde or/and turrets + stupid conditions. There is no gain from tactical approach, if you try you will be massacred. Just focus fire of 4 on one mech and so on. The problem is of course Horde + turrets + stupid conditions. The game is slow! If there is more then 8 units you will be screaming the word F*** a lot! Even with no close ups and vids it's SO BLOODY SLOW! The thing I also love is total uselessness of light mechs for the player, they get one shot and Boom! And the awesomeness of lights mechs in enemy squads. If you face a mix of 4-6 heavy/mediums assisted by a couple lights, you will be screaming F*** a lot, trust me. Game is 3+
