Remember, back in the day, when Mech Commander was your go-to mech strategy title? Remember when Battletech was still a relevant thing? Well, this game just brought both of those back. The game itself plays like a cross between the managing a mercenary company aspect of the old Mechwarrior Mercenaries games(only it's far, far more detailed and in depth here) and a turn based, tactical combat game that feels something like Mech Commander and Xcom had a kid that was really smart. All the old Battletech stuff is here. Heat curves, PPCs, critical hits, called shots. This is not an action game. If you want fast mechs go play Hawken or MWO. If you want a super deep strategy game with a super well done tactical game integrated with it, and a nice icing of surprisingly well done cutscenes and story, well, this is the real deal. Battletech is back.
