I find the controlls clunky. It's a good business simulator, but I find understanding what the UI is trying to display a little difficult to understand and clicking on various buttons sometimes does nothing. Then clicking on it multiple times can cause unintended issues that become frustrating. If I didn't find it so painful to set various buildings, I might actually enjoy the game.
Overall, It's a fun game. The best part is when on the brink of utter failure to get the headshot on that last enemy mech with the last functioning weapons and savoring that win. The voice acting stinks, but that's normal for these mech games. Trust me, we don't play it for the voice acting. However, the load times for a simple skirmish are grueling. Unless you have a gaming pc with Battletech on a SSD, each battle can take a while to load. Personally, I still like the game.
