The BATTLETECH Season Pass includes all future BATTLETECH expansions. In addition to all of the current game content, Season Pass headlines will have access to three expansions or DLCs that will be released in the near future. Â The first of the DLCs adds new gameplay to the title, depth, and more than 30 hours of new content.
Many more adventures, short stories linking mercenary missions, crew conversations, special events, critical elections and extraordinary rewards will be just some of the new features that will add to all the expansions that are to come and that will greatly increase the Career Mode. Remember that in order to access all the content of the Season pass, you need to have the base game installed in our Steam account.
An unmissable strategy gem that will unquestionably keep you playing one more contract. If you like mechs or tactical strategy games you’ll have a great time here whether you are a newcomer to the universe or not. BattleTech gets my full recommendation.
The story, the characters and the writing are better than you could hope for. If you are willing to overcome a few technical hiccups, and if you are an unrepentant sci-fi nerd, Battletech can be your new favorite game.
BattleTech is a special kind of experience that doesn't come around too often. As much as it demands from you, it offers equal or greater reward in return. As I said before, this property is very dear to my heart, so it brings me joy to see this game achieve what it sets out to accomplish with so much success.
Battletech's intricate components ultimately foster a fascinating wealth of nuanced systems that build a uniquely strenuous, detailed, and thoroughly rewarding tactical strategy game.
The testing combat is fun, and managing your squad of mercenaries is even better. [June 2018, p.78]
Battletech is a good effort from the people at Harebrained Schemes, and the passion poured into this project is clearly visible from many little details. Still, the game is in need of some more polish, and the AI particularly desperately needs a patch or two. Buy it in any case if you love the original license, or everything mech - related as a whole.
While the story in BattleTech takes some interesting turns, and the combat is slow if serviceable, the game chugs along as playable with occasional moments of greatness. The major issues come from how combat is both too slow at times and too random, plus there are too many numbers to sort through for anyone short of the very dedicated. The structural problems are too ingrained in the game to easily fix, which is unfortunate as there is actually a solid package underneath the problems.
