    Flashpoint is fine expansion in terms of re-engineering BattleTech for extended play, then – far better than kicking us into another pit of mega-story or necessitating a new beginning. Long-term, I’d love to see more vibrancy from BattleTech – wilder planets, more colourful mechs and special attacks, grimier, punchier characters – but I suspect only the latter is compatible with this decades-old setting. Already though, a Flashpoint-augmented BattleTech is a significantly leaner and more adaptable machine than the lumbering brute of launch.

    Flashpoint doesn’t offer anything transformative, the way XCOM 2’s War of the Chosen expansion did. Dedicated BattleTech players will want to give this a look, but with as many options as we have now for interesting strategy experiences, everyone else can consider this addition as highly optional.

Tiene un gran lore y mucho contenido para ofrecer por un precio bastante módico. Algo para destacar, es que no intenta ganarse a las masas, sino cumplir con aquellos que les gustan los combates largos, el riesgo de perder unidades y las jugadas audaces para ganar la batalla.

    Las presentaciones y animaciones que cuentan el lore del juego son excelentes: tienen una gran ambientación y voice acting, que realmente dejan a uno con ganas de más. Durante la batalla, tratan de continuar con estos hilos argumentales pero no logran el mismo impacto.

    Por otra parte, el juego está montado en el motor Unity, algo que resulta un poco inestable según la configuración que se emplee. Puede tener bajos frames o problemas con las texturas, a menos que se dé justo en la tecla con el rendimiento gráfico.    … Full Review »
