“Currently, it’s not my favorite tactical strategy experience, but I admit I enjoy seeing my Battlemechs tromping across the landscape to stomp out a fallen foe. USGamer also doesn’t seem especially enthused at the moment. If you want a picture of BattleTech, imagine a giant robo-tank silently firing an ineffective laser at another giant robot-tank – forever. I’ve put an inordinate amount of time into playing Battletech, even starting the campaign over at one point, so convinced was I that I must be missing something or playing it wrong, but now I have reached an inescapable conclusion. So much now depends on whether future updates will dig for it or not – I pray they do. There is something great glinting just below BattleTech’s dour and crusty surface. In their review, Rock Paper Shotgun called the game boring. Not all of the consensus has been that glowing though. BattleTech is a Mecha turn-based strategy video game developed by Harebrained Schemes and published by Paradox Interactive.
#BATTLETECH REVIEW PC#
PC Gamer – 85/100Ī deep tactical wargame with strong fundamentals supporting a broadly successful campaign system. It’s a delightful struggle to play against, as every month you squeeze together enough credits to make payroll feels just as good as slamming the eject button on a mech surrounded by enemies – a desperate victory against all odds. The emergent story is only possible because Harebrained Schemes have done such a good job of tying together all of BattleTech’s systems – on and off the battlefield – and then applying pressure to them all simultaneously with the weight of your monthly outgoings. This is hands down one of the best releases so far this year. The size of this game, the enjoyability, and the time it takes to complete justifies the £35 price tag. This is a solid, complete game which has had me utterly absorbed. It’s a game that I have wanted to play for a while but I wasn’t expecting to enjoy it nearly as much as I have.

BattleTech represents the perfect culmination of all of their previous works, and the team should be proud of how well it all came together. Gaming Trend – 95/100 Harebrained Schemes has transformed the complexity of the pen and paper BattleTech universe into an incredible game that welcomes veteran and rookie pilots alike. Set in 3025, the game is a strategy game that focuses on war in giant mechanised combat vehicles called BattleMechs. Finally available later today, reviews have come out, letting people know what to expect from the collaboration between original BattleTech and MechWarrior creator Jordan Wiesman and the team from Harebrained games, who were behind the lovely Shadowrun Returns. Battletech is a new tactical strategy game set in the MechWarrior universe, that’s had nerdy PC gamers hot and bothered for ages now.
