I was a Kickstarter backer and so looking forward to this game. At first it was a lot of fun, well balanced challenges and tactics that you could use to have some success, but at some point the difficulty ramps up well out of proportion to the capability of your unit. Even missions rated at the lowest difficulty result in a two to one advantage in favour of the enemy as a minimum. That would be manageable if you could fight them in waves or clusters, but enemy reinforcements appear immediately after contact with then main force resulting in your lance being overwhelmed. At this stage I had only seen heavy mechs in the hands of the enemy and had no opportunity to increase my own fire power to balance the enemy forces. On top of that the game is unstable even to the point of having to shut my PC down in order to get out of the game. Great concept and I love the presentation. I love being able to customise mechs, swapping weapon combinations, but the staging of the challenges is appalling.

Fallout was a great game, but Fallout 2 was even better. There is a lot to uncover and a huge world to explore. I don't know how many time I've played this game through to the end, but I still love it.
