Bugs at product launch but plays well

So, here on launch day the game has some bugs, I'll let other reviewers share their experiences directly but the only issue that I personally had was lack of good 21:9 monitor support. So for now I'm playing in windowed instead of fullscreen while they sort that out. Gameplay is great though. Music is good, story so far is good, characters seem fun, blowing things up goes just as it should. I give it one bonus point for selectable pronoun during character customization (note -- you can only customize your own character, not your crew) and I give it ten bonus points for quality cutscenes that are thankfully skippable if you replay. The UI takes some learning, it's got a lot of elements and some of them are not quite where I expected to find them. I wish it would display weapon effective ranges in a more visual way (it DOES tell you the effective ranges, just.... not in my preferred style). But on the whole it's quite good once you get a battle or two under your belt, the method starts to sink in and it makes sense. I would definitely recommend this game to anyone who likes turn-based tactics.

I'm shocked this is bad.

I've been pre-ordering Harebrained Scheme's games for a while now. Shadowrun Returns, Dragonfall, Hong Kong. I loved them all and they were 5-star games with great gameplay and story. I thought this would be awesome too. Unfortunately Battletech is just really slow-paced and the difficulty is crushing. I love turn based games, and beat each of the shadowrun games and enjoyed the entire experience. But you spend way too much time watching the enemy take their turns in Battletech. The animations are far too long, and it's just frustrating waiting for your turn to come around. I rarely felt frustrated in SRR (and never this much) so that surprised me. Then the difficulty. I gave up when you rescuse the princess from the pirate base on some moon (one of the first story missions) because it was just ridiculous. It was described as a low difficulty mission, and the boss pirate mech was described as being made of junk. The junk pirate boss destroyed two of my mediums, and tore the arms off my remaining medium. My last medium mech got into a kicking fight with the boss after this because she had lost her arms too. The repair bill, combined with waiting for repairs, completely sucked up the million dollar payout and then some, leaving me with little money left and I eventually hit bankruptcy and lost the game. If that was an easy battle, I dread what hard ones would be like. I also question the repair costs, medical bay downtime, and repair downtime. I just don't think it's balanced well at all. Basically it's not fun to play, and I regret buying this ahead of time. I did so based on my previous good experiences with games by HBS, but won't be doing that again.

Good start

I have been playing this game a lot. HBS and Paradox got a lot right and according to what I have read will be fixing the parts that takes away from the game. Once they do this it will be a solid 5 star game. The good parts The game is turn based and the combat is a lot of fun across a wide array of maps. You can customize your mechs to a limited degree and thus tailor them to the environment you will be fighting in and your fighting style. For example remove a couple of energy weapons and add heat sinks if you are going to be fighting in a desert to keep your heat under control. Combat is smooth and the animation is good enough (they provide information as your weapons strikes the enemy (good) but are sometimes not visible because of blocking terrain (bad). The game is won by setting up your platoon with the right mix of weapons and good squad level tactics. The travel "cut scenes" are very well done in my opinion. The story line is interesting enough but lets be honest, we are here to blow stuff up and this game deliveries in that respect. The "meh" parts -Switching between screens is very slow and over time it gets painful. I have a good gaming rig with NVme and SSD drives, 32 gigs of RAM, etc. This is not caused by lack of hardware. I keep something handy to read while waiting on travel and screens to load/finish. Cannot skip the travel scenes (grrr). -Limited Mech customization. There are hard points that limits the types and numbers of weapons on a Mech. Being a gamer of the original board game, finding the best combo of weapons was one of my favorite parts. The limitation is probably done for game play reasons but it annoyed me. I want to run what I want to run. -Non-Clan weapons or advanced weapons. This is a disappointment for me rather than an actual bad thing. I wanted to use some Clan tech dang it. Maybe in a later DLC?!?!?! All in all money well spent and I would buy it again.

I like it

I wouldn't call the game flawless but it delivers battletech back to us after many many years of silence. The combat is well designed and has a good feeling to it. While it can feel a little slow as far as turn based goes, it isn't nearly as painful as Tides of Numenera; The combat mechanics are well thought out and easy to learn, and the missions themselves begin easy and progressively get more difficult without any speed bumps. As a result, it's fun enough to play even though it's predominantly mech combat - but hey that's what we wanted right? HBS has done their typical writing, which I like considering they're a small outfit. The interface is similar to the one we've seen in their Shadowrun series. While I consider the interface amateurish, it does have all the bells and whistles to customize your mechs and character effectively and isn't totally ugly. Story is alright, I wouldn't say it's amazingly original but it does fit the BattleTech universe and includes several lore additions to make the game in-depth enough for any lore snob. Between combat, you remain on your ship. This allows you to travel between missions, rebuild and refit your mechs, sell items, recruit pilots, handle finances, and level up your pilots. The mechanic isn't fun but fits perfectly. It is important to note that the clock/money is against you; You have to pay upkeep costs and creditor dues all while waiting for travel times and mech repairs before you can even think about starting a new mission to make cash and cover your bills. While I just started into the game, I'm struggling with this mechanic, I haven't gone bankrupt, but it's basically like driving a crap box car to work and having to pay some large unexpected bills for repairs on it because you can't afford a new one. All in all as a fan of HBS I do like the game, but perhaps I'm a bit biased. Either way, nobody is going to make BattleTech and this is good enough for me.

Disgusting

Graphics, sound, ui, gameplay - all are very bad. And bad optimization too (created with unity).
