Played the hell out of this in the back of the day; was hesitant to reinstall as I wasn't sure if the game mechanics would still be fun, but they are. Kind of amazing the amount of work Sir-Tech put into this game without any guarantee players would even to experience everything (nowadays I think Devs think it's wasted money if players don't experience most of what they've created).

Really an excellent open-world game. You're free to make the party you want to make and wander into areas you're not prepared for if you want to. Coming up on 30 years later though, this should be freeware, unless the original devs or their families are getting money from it.
First game I ever Kickstarted and happy I did. I've been playing Battletech on PC since the original Mechwarrior, and this is the first in the series, IMO, that has made such an effort to accurately portray the Battletech universe. I like... the atmosphere, the RPG elements, the visuals, the X-Com style gameplay, the realistic approach to modding your mech (it takes time and money, these aren't Clan mechs after all) Not like... creating the Paradox account to get the extra skins (but c'mon people, how is that worth a 1 star rating???), lack of pop-up tips or beginner help in missions - I'd be a little lost if I hadn't been watching YouTube vids during the Beta This game deserves your money.
