When I backed Battletech on Kickstarter. while it was delayed a year longer than expected but I feel it was totally worth the wait. I did not encounter all the problems that people that got on launch day before the first patch I love Turn-based tactical games for an example Xcom, Convoy, FTL, and Wastelands 2 etc. This is fairly close to the board game. Updating outdated ways and make it more fluid. It is well done in my opinion. I can see where people that aren't fond of turned based games could get bored or find it not fun. I was in the beta so I knew what the mech battles were like and approved of the flow before the game released with the story. The story is fairly linear which given the time frame and the size of the budget, they were working with I more or less expected. Bugs: that I have found have been the mechs have been pink in one mission and, fine the next mission. There has been one or two hard freezes. That's it for problems I have had. I have finished the game and I'm in the process of finishing it a second time. I did try the Roguetech mod and ran into issues and backed it out. I may try it out again after this run. I recommend this game if you aren't expecting a replica of MechCommander. If you are not expecting a fast-paced game to keep your attention. If you are not expecting an out of this world story arc. If you like turned based strategy games with three-story-tall robots go for it. If you like the board game back in the day, go give it a shot.
