In case you're wonding about the sudden negative ratings: A moderator on the Hearts of Iron Discord had an argument with and subsequentially banned a Turkish user that had an avatar of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, which then got picked up by some media as Paradox isulting Atatürk. Yes, it's really that dumb. And it has nothing to do with either the developers, nor the quality of this game at all. It's all about the Publisher. People reviewbombing every game of a publisher over Discord drama should be banned from posting reviews altogether.

As others have said better - the original game is great, faithful to the worldbuilding of the Battletech. great story, fine balance of mechanics, the geometry/problem solving of small group mech on mech engagements. Do recommend. But Wait, Theres More! The MOD community for Battletech is out of this world - and have added depth of content that built on the original to fill in the universe of the game quite literally, and expand the timeframe around the story. hundreds of hours of more content, different playstyles, dynamics, GUI. The satisfying cronch of a salvo connecting with a target. Squeezing your pilot out of unexpected ambushes by the hair of your chinny-chin-chin. Stories, characters, character arcs, recruitable NPCs. And yes, the machines - hundreds of new machines hundreds of components - like little robot pokemon - gotta catch 'em all. The value is there; the story is there; thanks to the original devs but also - a standing ovation for the MOD community. Cheers!

Great game! 9.5 out of 10. Only MAJOR drawback and completely illogical. Lack of an overhead map. Every game since Spear of Destiny has had a map. AND THIS GAME HAS SPACESHIPS!!! That can see the planet! With sensors! It baffles me why I can't press M, see an overhead of the battlefield and plot a course along completely visible planetary surface.

The vanilla game is good to begin with, but it is the mods that make this game shine, BattleTech Advanced (Universe/3062) is the best of them, The tragedy is we won't get a sequel.
