I am reviewing version 1.1. This game is awesome. If you love the Battletech boardgame, I think you will like this game as well. For people without a Battletech background, it might be a litle harder to get into the game since there is lots of complexity, but you should be alright. This game is a mixture of tactical combat with a lance of Mechs that you can configure, and a strategic element of managing your mercenary company. The developers modified a few things compared to the boardgame (e.g. forests provide 25% damage reduction instead of +1 to hit), but to me these modifications simply add more tactical depth to combat. One great addition is "stability damage": some weapons inflict stability damage, which can destabilize and knockdown enemy Mechs - different from the boardgame, where knockdown in simply a question of how much damage was dealt. Sure, not everything is perfect. The selection of Mechs is fairly limited (due to copyright issues, I believe), and quite a few detials could be done better (imo). Since there is no drop-weight restriction, you will not use light Mechs in the game for (you start with 3 Mediums). It would be nicer to have a restriction (like in Mechcommander), so that light Mechs could be more than simply targets in this game. The KI is not always great, making some doubtful decisions that can turn a hard fight into a walk in the park. However, it generally performs pretty well. In summary, this game has been lots of fun in 30+ hours and I am not nearly done yet. Also, I have yet to experience a single crash, the game has been stable for the entire time. I am also playing this game in High settings using an i7 7700HQ + 1050 Ti on a mobile platform, and there are no performance issues at all. I can definitely recommend this game!
