Absolutely love this game. Love the universe that the game exists in. My biases aside it plays slow on smaller machines and the campaign is a little short but at the same time the game allows you continue on after the main the storyline. It gives me hope that there are easter eggs as you explore the map or that there is room for more content to be added. (Which I absolutely need to be a part of since I missed the kickstarter) If you're an old school gamer like myself then this game is great. Maybe not so much if you are into competitive gaming or FPS's. Turn based multiplayer always seems to leave me a little burned. Also I love the art content. Thats a big one for me. A game could be the greatest game in the world but if the artwork looked like trash then I'de never play the game. The artwork is on point and looks great. The game has the feel of Mechwarrior 1 with how the story unfolds, allowing you to move about the galaxy on a map albeit only a small fragment of the inner sphere. I can't wait to see what comes next for Battletech from Harebrained Schemes.
Everything about this game speaks of nostalgia from the old pen and paper table top adventure type story line to the retro platformer graphics. Depending on how your character levels, can make the game difficult or easy. The game to me was meant to be lighthearted and fun and plays that way for me though I have seen people trying it melee and have a much more difficult run through. Lots of easter eggs also make you feel like the game connects with you. I would love to see a sequel with updated graphics.
