    BattleTech

    Game releases tomorrow 4/24

    Just some quick and dirty points on the game in this article.

    Harebrained Schemes and Paradox Interactive hosted a Q&A session on 19 April 2018 which brought out a pile of interesting info about BattleTech, five days before it launches on 24 April 2018. Here are some details that you might like.


    Pretty excited for this one since I saw it at last year's E3. Mech games always have the potential to be really cool, and running your own mercenary unit of Mechs doesn't sound too bad.

    Gameplay is similar to the Xcom series from what I've seen. Not a shooter by any means, it's all squad/tactics based which can still be fun when done right. I'm hoping there is a wide degree of flexibility in how you advance through the campaign, and that it isn't just complete X number of missions with factions of your choosing.

    So excited for this. I used to play Battletech for the pc roughly 20 years ago when it was part of AOL. They had Battletech Solaris and BT3025. That was more like mechwarrior but I just love the universe. I've watched a few videos and this looks really good. I like the Merc idea as well.

      And the reviews are coming in



      Combat sounds like an even more in depth version of xcom as hitting different parts of the mech can create various consequences

      The RPG element sounds a bit disappointing. Seems as though your character, and the other pilots, have titles and backgrounds yet they don't seem to impact gameplay.

      Overall though a few different reviews I've read have been very positive about the game.

          I've been holding off so far.

          In general reviews have been positive, but there have been a number of issues that have given me pause. Still pretty likely I pick this one up eventually, just not sure when.

            Picked this up for my MBP on the road. Pretty excited to start it up. Timed it perfectly as I just beat XCOM2: wotc on Ironman.
