July 2025

One of the best games I have ever played. This is a turn based strategy game with an open world planetary system that you can take on missions for a price, get yourself more popular with certain houses and really work through to build your mercenary unit, and develop your pilots to get better, buy better equipment to ramp up your performance. It’s got really well balanced mechanics - with certain mechs being better than others, yet bad mechs are still salvageable… I love the fact you have to make do with what you have and build up. Storyline in career mode is acceptable, with certain biomes playing a big part on your Lance. , it feels well-thought out and is an enjoyable comfort game. Despite the game being now relatively old, it’s such a well balanced game, with a great storyline. I wish there was a new update to it.

June 2025

Literally one of the best Mech, one of the best tactics RPG, and one of the best "The Mercenary Experience™" games to date. And that's just the Vanilla game. The many mods (RT, BEX, BTA, EA, etc) makes this game the Tabletop experience put into a video game. I really cannot recommend it enough. If you like the tabletop, get it. If you like big mechs and customizing them, get it. If you like a mercenary game experience, get it. If you like a good tactics RPG, get it. Basically get it.

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.

April 2025

ıt's a real shame this game will not have a sequel. Frankly best way to get into the Battletech rabbit hole. I strongly recommend playing this.
