    I've been loving the game so far, have about 7.5 hours in, plus the time I played in the Beta and the 30+ hours I watched streamed by other people in the weeks before release. This is the game I've been waiting for since MechCommander came out and I was disappointed it was an RTS instead of Turn-based, as I wanted a PC version of the tabletop game.

    I am more hopelessly addicted to this game than I've been to any game in recent memory, save perhaps Mass Effect 3. The game has extremely deep-running similarities to Harebrained Studios' Shadowrun games in terms of the UI, mechanics, etc.; there's also a large amount of XCOM (especially the new XCOM 1 and 2 remakes) in the DNA of this game.

The game has extremely deep-running similarities to Harebrained Studios' Shadowrun games in terms of the UI, mechanics, etc.; there's also a large amount of XCOM (especially the new XCOM 1 and 2 remakes) in the DNA of this game.

    That said, I don't think the fact that they borrowed mechanics and systems from XCOM and Shadowrun makes this game any worse, and it doesn't make it less addictive, either -- not even for someone like me who's played a ton of XCOM and Shadowrun. What this game does do is take the Battletech board game, infuse a fantastic, memorable story and art style, and best-of-breed mechanics in one solid package.

    The only bug I encountered so far was the game doesn't support my screen resolution, 3440x1440, because it's the wrong aspect ratio. I play in 2560x1440, which is 16:9, and it's letterboxed. So far that hasn't significantly affected my enjoyment of the game.

    Performance-wise, it runs well (especially after installing the GeForce Game Ready driver for Battletech), but I have a very high-end system with an i7-8700K and a GeForce GTX 1080. The only performance gripe I have is that loading a game, or transitioning between the strategic map and a mission on the ground, takes a long time. The loading screens sometimes take 60 seconds or more on this high-end gaming PC with one of the fastest CPU/GPU combos available. However, this alone is not enough for me not to recommend this game, because it's just so much fun otherwise.

    And the long pauses between combat animations aren't enough reason to dislike or stop playing this game, either! I find them mildly aggravating, but far more annoying is when I really need to score a hit with my AC/20 cannon but tragically miss. In other words, I'm so busy obsessing about the gameplay that I can overlook this flaw. Hopefully it gets improved in a patch, though.

    This game has earned my recommendation more than most others in recent memory, I feel. These devs have worked extremely hard to make a compelling game in a very beloved IP, and not only have they delivered, but they've built a game that I think will be a cult classic long after the mainstream attention has shifted away from it.

    Based on my experience with Harebrained Studios' games, I believe they are to the point where they are replacing Bioware in my pantheon of game developers. Bioware has fallen from Heaven with repeated miscues, and HBS has been elevated to take their place as the most talented, most consistent developer with hit after hit.

    The best parts about this game for me are the addictive combat, the wide open customizability of your mechs and your ship, and the roleplaying dialogue and story missions. But even the randomized side quests are extremely fun on their own.

    BTW, it's hard to convey just how deep the combat is tactically, so just buy the game and try it. There are so many clever things you can do with mech positioning, target choices, abilities, teamwork of multiple mechwarriors, and so on that you'll never get bored of the combat. It's truly a generational achievement for the tactical turn-based genre.

And yet I play FFXV on high at 60 frames. Front mission 4 on the PS2 had more detail and was less blurry.

    Long over due masterpiece.
    This game manages to capture the spirit of the board game, the RPG , and the previous video games.
    As a kid I saved and saved and did every single extra chore I could to get the box set of Battletech, so I have my rose colored neurohelmet on. The core gameplay is great. It feels like the classic boardgames rules. The controls/ui are not explained well, but    Long over due masterpiece.

    The story is quiet good and fits into the universe well.
    The fact this is 40 bucks on launch and has a ton of content means its a must buy for fans. If you are not familiar with the universe or the game you might have some trouble adjusting.
    As a nod to the RPG you get to talk between missions to your lance. The dialog when your mechs roll into battle is like the old MechCommander games. The cinematic battles are exciting like the old Mechwarrior games. I would recommend it to any fan of the universe.    … Expand

Sure there are a fewshortcomings, and I'm writing this before reading any other view so as not to bias myself, but one thing is for sure: Battletech has me addicted! Things I love about it so far:
    -The management aspect (maintaining your navy of mechs, putting together effective lances, upgrading your home ship, etc). Very similar to XCOM, set in the Battletech universe. What more could you ask for?
    -Combat feel good. Definitely visceral, and when you score a killing blow it feels oh so good.
    -Good pacing. Not too grindy, but not too easy either. After 24 hours of solid play, my lances are typically 50% heavy 50% medium.
    -Carryover damage/repair mechanic. I LOVE the fact that after a brutal fight that leaves your mechs limping back to the dropship, they will likely be out of service for the next 1-2 months, requiring you to mixup your lance with a secondary or even terciery lineup of mechs. This means you will constantly be evaluating the value of each mission and determining whether it's worth using your best frontline mechs or whether you can get by with a more "average" squad, saving your best for when you really need them. It also forces you to adapt your play style and become familiar with the various mechs in the Battletech universe.
    -Mission reward system. I love that you have to decide between money, salvage and reputation. Do you need to focus on short term, medium term or long term? Awesome balancing mechanic.
    -Learning curve. I love me a game with a decent skill/learning curve. When I first started out, I found myself getting frustrated occasionally on hard missions or when my lance came away more damaged than what felt appropriate for the enemy squad faced. As I have learned the nuances of the positioning, movement system, weapon systems etc, I have gotten significantly more efficient...and deadly.
    -The story. I'm new to the Battletech universe but I'm really enjoying the backdrop. Granted this isn't the achievement of this game itself, but I like the campaign story and I've definitely encountered worse when it comes to plot.

    If there's one thing I'm critical of it's the lack of voice-overs for much of the game text from popups and conversations and such. The battles tend to feel intense and the campaign does a greatjob of creating atmosphere, so when you're required to sit there and read all the text it detracts from the experience a bit. In the grand scheme of things this is a minor complaint.
    -No speed up button. It would be nice if you could increase the game speed during enemy turns. Granted, this would also detract from the experience a bit, and sometimes forcing you to be patient can be a good thing (creates pacing, makes each turn and battle more meaningful as it's more difficult to spam missions).

    That's it for now, I may update this review later as I get further on in the game. If you're on the fence about this game, just pick it up. I'm thinking there is a more than fair chance you will love it :)    … Expand

    For me, the main thing I don't like in this game that I overall like a lot (I am a big Battletech/MechWarrior fanboy), is that mech customization is kind of ruined by the time-factor in the campaign.

One of the funnest things in any mech game is building your own mech. The first time I stripped down my Shadowhawk, changed its weapons and armor amounts, the game said it would take 37 DAYS to make the changes. In other words I would not get to use my customized mech for probably 5 or 6 missions. So I chose to just keep using the stock mech. They should have stuck with long durations for mech repairs and pilot injuries, so it feels like a punishment for bad performance in missions, but it is stupid in this type of game to apply the same punishment mechanic to doing something that the game should ENCOURAGE you to do, which is customize your mechs.

    Aside from this I agree with the many reviews complaining about bad performance, this game does not perform well for the graphics that are being displayed, and with the complaints of the slow pace of the battles. There really should be a skip button that moves straight to the next turn.

    The positives are still many though and I will put a lot of hours into this game. It feels very "Battletech," and I feel like they did a great job of turning somewhat cumbersome tabletop rules into a very fun ruleset that works well in a computer game. There are some great fist pumping moments like when your little scout mech crits a big guy in the back for an unexpected kill, or when you scrape by on luck and willpower in a heavily damaged mech. All the kinds of moments that have always made MechWarrior games and Battletech novels fun are present in this game. The cutscenes and story I have seen so far are passable, but I also wish they could have done a few different intro stories based on the background you pick.

    I may end up changing my review after I have some more hours with this game, but I guess I write this in the hope that the developers will see it and improve on this pretty good game.    … Expand

    Since those glorious days we have suffered a drought. It has been 16 years since the last of the classic Mechwarrior games was launched. MWO tried to fill our need in 2012 but the developer lied to the Battletech fanbase and the game we got was a Battletech skin on a shooter.

    However the drought has ended and a game that works with battltech lore is here. Battltech makes an effort to stay true to the spirit of the table top game. This means in todays twitch gaming world the game will feel sluggish and slow. The game also is punishing on mistakes, there are real consequences to doing things wrong.

    These two factors have combined to result in many people, that do not really understand the games target, to give it negative reviews.

    The game is a slow paced tactic simulation of the Battletech universe. not just the combat but the ttrials of trying to run a small mercenary company.

    On the whole I have found the game to be outstanding. Many of the hardware issues seemed to have been resolved by nVidia releasing a driver update. The developers have already released one patch with another in testing.

    Game is excellent! Only negative reviews here are people complaining about it crashing and not loading. Never experienced any of those problems and the game is amazing to play!

    Thoroughly enjoying this game. Couple of bugs here and there, mainly that the UI doesn't support ultra wide screen yet, but other than that I'm loving it

    BattleTech is a special kind of experience that doesn't come around too often. As much as it demands from you, it offers equal or greater reward in return. As I said before, this property is very dear to my heart, so it brings me joy to see this game achieve what it sets out to accomplish with so much success.

    Return to the future to tin monster wars has its flaws, but even so Battletech grabs your attention and does not let go. Lovers of robotic battles will be definitely intrigued. [Issue#286]

    MechCommanders’ beautiful dream finally came true in a form of a couple dozen hours of excellent tactical gameplay underpinned by good visuals and superb music. [06/2018, p.46]
