Battletech Review - One of the Deepest, Densest Strategy Games in Years

Battletech Review

Battletech is based on a classic tabletop game of the same name. I've never played it, but you can feel the conversion everywhere. The strategy is deep, well-balanced, and granular. It's a turn-based affair, where giant mechs switch off at blasting and pummeling each others body parts until the explode. It's superficially similar to XCOM, in that it combines turn-based combat, a management meta-game, and perma-death to create a high stakes tactical campaign.

Play Battletech. There are a few flaws, however, they can certainly be fixed, and at the core, it is a good, no a great strategy game. The tactics, the management game, the mech building angle are all as great as you would hope. 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.

Score: 88/100
