The year is 3025 and the galaxy is trapped in a cycle of perpetual war, fought by noble houses with enormous, mechanized combat vehicles called BattleMechs. Take command of your own mercenary outfit of 'Mechs and the MechWarriors that pilot them, struggling to stay afloat as you find yourself drawn into a brutal interstellar civil war. Upgrade your starfaring base of operations, negotiate mercenary contracts with feudal lords, repair and maintain your stable of aging BattleMechs, and execute devastating combat tactics to defeat your enemies on the battlefield.

Fun game. Learning curve was a bit steep, but once you get it, its very rewarding to wreak the ai. My only gripe would be the overpowering of the marauder units. Wreaks the balance a bit, but otherwise a great game.

Highly recommend for anybody familiar with the battletech tabletop. Simplified vanilla game but you can add mods that will include everything. Game has memory leaks which means i highly reccomend restarting the game

I liked this game so much I bought it again on Steam when GOG changed their cloud storage limits to only 200mb. Personally I think it's near-perfect even vanilla, with many QoL mods from launch timeframe being turned

If you enjoy turn based tactics and the Battletech universe, you will find no better game. This is probably one of the top five games I've ever played and I've been playing PC games since the early 1980s. Harebrained
