May 2025

This game is a very in-depth, engaging and highly unique turn based strategy game that while a little bit slow, is very much worth giving a shot if you love xcom or other similar games, and also tells a nice story. For anyone who likes this game though, you absolutely need play the RogueTech mod. It is essentially a mod that puts the entire 40+ year history of the BattleTech TTRPG into the game. 3000+ Mechs, about as many weapons, complete mechanic overhauls, somehow the option to convert the game into an online factions game. It's the most impressive mod I've ever seen. nothing comes close.

April 2025

Great game wish we could get more Battletech/Mechwarrior strat games, but the mod community is what takes this game to the next level. After you get tired of the campaign and career mode, try out BTA3062 or RogueTech.

Oct. 2024

This game is only worth playing, and continuing to play, because of the amazing work that the modding community has done, turning it into the game that the fans originally wanted. And not just a compromised product designed to appeal to the largest number of people. If you're looking to buy this game in 2024 what you'll need to do is head over to Nexus Mods. There are a host of great mods that give you the entire map of the galaxy, mods that allow other factions to go to war and take systems, and my current favourite, Hyades Rim which changes the story, rewriting it, changing the cut scenes, your role (which didn't make any sense to the roll playing elements of your origin story) and gives you a far more realistic, natural, place in BT universe. Is it the Cresecent Hawks Inception remake that I've always dreamt of (I'd destroy the only copy of Half-life 3 if it meant some studio remakes Cresecent Hawk inception), no of course not but jeebus, its a great game. The remade story, the added flashpoints and difficulty changes on many of the big overhaul mods have really sharpen the game. It's finally giving me that battletech hit i've been dreaming of since my first shot in the 1980s. So Batteltech, is worth it? Its cheap, play vanilla, see what it gives you and then go to town modding it. The mods are amazing. The expansion of the innersphere, the realignment of planets, the application of 40 years of lore, Every fricken planet has its own story, there are hundreds of mechs that modders have put into the game, thousands of weapons and equipment, great missions (properly thought out, challenging but not impossible, well paced). I used to fall asleep playing the vanilla but these days especially with Hadyes Rim you really need to think of strategy, flanking, feints, drawing the enmy in and other tactics or else you're gonna get your ass kicked. Anyway, jeez, why are you still reading this. Go buy it. Also go watch some Battletech Black pant legion tube videos (especially for the perun cameo) (edit excuse the grammar, me no speak englash goud)

Oct. 2024

The base game is good for the story - for a more genuine tabletop feel go modded. I can recommend BEX (Battletech Commanders Extended 3025) and BTAU (Battletech Advanced Universe). NexusMods for BEX and bta3062 dot com for BTAU. RogueTech is another mod that is worth exploring, with the caveats that it requires a more robust computer and the gameplay can be quite a bit more harsh until you learn the systems it introduces.

Aug. 2024

Great Game, finished it and played custom for a good while. But 80%+ of my hours have been in the RogueTech mod, seriously in my opinion the Real way to play BattleTech.
