ACG Patron. Come on by! Summary Game is pretty good and has some chops. But on both testing platforms it had FPS issues, as well as crashing and it looks like thats well known. So for now its a Wait for Sale. Needs a patch or two or a bit lower price. If you do get it at least you have Steam refund.

With graphics straight out of 2007 and this horrible performance (which is caused only by dev's inability to program the engine), the "cut-scenes" and gameplay worthy of a mobile game I'd say its more like "never touch" or even better: I'd rather eat the money. I've been a fan of BT universe for ages now and I've never seen such a pathetic attempt on the franchise.

Wow you did an excellent job relating the Magic that makes Battletech such a unique combat system that's really not like any other game. It's VERY different from XCOM and I've waited over 20 years to finally see a true computer adaptation of Battletech Tabletop game. I can't believe it's taken this long and this game really is a blast regardless of it being slow sometimes. (Much of that can be tweaked and fixed over time) Multiplayer too this game can be amazing if it brings the huge battletech/mechwarrior community together there. The lore is so great too in Battletech. It is NOT shallow. Think Game of Thrones in Space. Tons of great books and deep lore politics within this universe and mostly the game dips pretty deeply into that with some gamey contrivances that are corny at the start as you role your eyes at some of the stupid things that happen just to create a situation to play through. Overall this more than lived up to my dreams of a true Battletech game and i just pray it will grow from here now that we finally have a good foundation. Mechwarrior Tactics was a failed attempt previously and even that was a blast!

The game has had a lot of updates since release. It's a lot more stable, but there are still weird performance issues from time to time. The game still feels more expensive than it should be, though, especially when you factor in the "Season Pass" model for its expansions. I was able to get the game and the first expansion for $45, but I would honestly not feel like I was getting my moneys worth if I wasn't a massive Battletech fanboy. (I've been playing various Battletech games for 20+ years). I highly recommend this game for Battletech fans, but I would be hesitant to recommend this game as an introduction into the Battletech universe.

If I could skip animations and if some of the freezes in the action weren't there, missions could be 3-4 times as short depending on if you have allied turrets or a convoy to waste your time. The game really is good. It's loads of fun to defeat enemy mechs get their salvage, optimize your lance and repeat. Not really loving the story yet though. A lot of the characters have too much "attitude" I guess that seems out of place to me and so far, I don't really have any choice in helping Kamea free her people or whatever it is she wants to do

Good review! I was a backer for this game and I was really anticipating the release. Immediately after downloading it, I was able to play a bit of the first mission. After that, the crashes got so bad that eventually I couldn't even start the game. I got that solved, but I still can't touch the campaign without crashing when trying to load a save. So right now I'm left with the skirmish that seems to work ok. I would really like to give this game a chance, but I think it's pretty incredible that this kind of a hot mess even got released.

A lot of the mechanisms mentions i.e. the stat system and the movement system are actually implicit derivations from the original source material (adjacent to the mech warrior RPG, and from the advanced version of the game in the poorly laid out rulebook). There are great abstractions such as the armor system which replaces the more banal and mind-numbing damage system of the first. Evasion is also a boon, it adds an interesting layer of tactical trade-offs. However it isn't without some blatant flaws for example the ui doesn't lend to some tactical considerations, for example I wish the ui indicated which sections of the mech hold specific weapons this would've been nice as the game allows you to target specific body parts. The bombastic plot points at least in the beginning few were trite and were so predictable I was able to enunciate in real time the same emphasis and exact wording used. In terms of pacing this game is a slog, a difficult, massive but somewhat clunky slog, much like the source material.

Eh, I've bought it as it's a must have for me. Maybe a smidge overpriced but it's a pretty beefy game for 40. Some of these criticism (like lack of voice) are more suited for AAA games with enough DLC to cost $120+ I think the main thing that bothers me with this kind of game is that they get a lot of funding from the community yet end up selling the game corporate style. It also seems screwy to go with community funding then once you get it hop on board with a major publisher. Maybe this is no big deal since the gaming press seems to think nothing of it.

Curious brother, did you encounter any oddities with difficulty? I have been hearing that if you reload a mission you won't get the same setup of enemies. This makes the scaling of difficulty off because a mission that is suppose to be hard for example turns out easier but reloading that same mission could be problematic. Of course if you keep to the honor system this should not be a problem. Just seems odd for a developer to do this, if it's true.

I played it a bit yesterday, and I did like it, but it does have some issues. Now I have almost no knowledge of the Bettletech universe, and I was quite lost after the "tutorial". I mean combat is pretty easy, but most of the UI made no sense to me, and was never explained in the tutorial part. It was just how to move and fire. It took me a while to figure out what phases were. Half of the info on screen is not explained (like what are the individual bars next to a mech or how to know when you are at long, short or medium ranges for your weapons). Not all icons have tool tips, some weapons are not explained well (Like the DCA or something similar) under the melee weapon. I am only on first real mission as a mecenary, so I hope some become more obvious with time, before I get in over my head. Also the camera has some weird angles when forced into the action mode during firing. Lots of clipping of terrain sometimes, and it often whips around, making it difficult to see where an enemy mech is moving to. But it is mech combat, and I have been dying to play a game like this, since I played Mech Commander ages ago.

They did a balance pass before the game launched where they made everything more expensive. Once progress further into the story you unlock a better engineering bay and your mechs get repaired much, MUCH faster. By early game is a ball breaker. You will be one job away from bankruptcy at all times and the game flat out lies about the difficulty of a mission. I've had missions marked as extremely difficult that was a 3 tanks on a water map. Then other missions marked as easy where I'm up against two lances at once and have no option but to withdraw

Until then buy this game for yourself and then gift it to everyone else who's worthy of the title "friend". Firstly, and this is the game changer for me, I never play the music that comes along with video games (especially Mechwarrior Online). But this soundtrack is so good that i let it play when i have to do other stuff, just to give ambiance to the house...it's that good. Bonus remark: No Hackers, no cheaters, no salt.

interesting. Not sure how better to describe performance issues so you do have an idea. Sorry

No apology necessary. I believe you when you say you have performance issues. Perhaps it will happen to me the further on i play. Thank-you for replying to my comment. I rarely make them. But your video was so complete that i thought fair to do so. Well done.

hopefully HBS patches them more. From what I understand for some the nvidia driver helped too

The polish of the game for $40 seems a little low. Camera problems ACG mentioned, 21:9 support and some questionable interface design problems. At the Kickstarter price of $25 I couldn't be happier. The game is great fun.

Love the Game and worth the price for me. Its like Mechwarrior Commander simulator. You have to think about how to equip your Mechs but also how to keep up moral, negotiate contracts, and manage finances. Love the old Mechwarrior games from the past and the single campaign storyline. I don't like Mechwarrior Online because it's only PvP. If your like me who loves Mechwarrior Lore and Single Player games then BattleTech is the closest you will get. I do experience some performance issues but haven't gotten a crash for the 8 hours I played. I'm at work right now thinking of how I want to level up my Mechwarriors and how to equip my Mechs.
