A deep tactical wargame with strong fundamentals supporting a broadly successful campaign system.

A compelling fusion of tabletop manoeuvring and characterful campaign progression

7.5/10
Lumbering and flustering at times with a dry narrative, BattleTech still provides a solid strategy experience true to its roots

solid-ish but a serious resource hog
These are the good things: tactics, customizing mechs, decent story and career mode, difficult but far from impossible, lovely pan and tilt. The bad: so hung up on being able to zoom into impossible levels of detail they made it difficult to zoom out to useful levels. This is also present in the customization of colors and other aspects of mech customization. The game is bogged down in load times and movements. This is a game built around models of the mechs and that attention to detail can cost the game play. DLC that this game needs: more map and terrain packs. updates it needs: optimization of textures mechs and maps for better game play. There are other hiccups and issues, but, they are mostly liveable. The biggest headache for most players is that the same luck that can randomly give you a headshot kill, can happen to your mechs too. Also, yes, sometimes the system isn't playing fair. Though that isn't always to your detrement

Still very good
Even just a vanilla game, this has aged very well.

Turn-Based Gold
If you love big, stompy 'mechs, turn-based strategy games, and far-future dystopias, look no further. Absolute worth the money. Get it.
