The game that many fans of the Battltech universe have been waiting for. But, not being a fan of this universe, the release of this game came as a surprise to me. Strategy, fantasy, hmm, I definitely have to try it - I thought at that moment. The game, as it turns out, is somewhat controversial. Yes, I know that this is a port from a tabletop game, but some of the mechanics seemed strange... But it’s better to go through it in order.
Gameplay. Controversial. The mechanics of collecting furs are quite interesting, but over time you realize that you want more. The combat mechanics are taken from a board game and implemented quite well. Of all the impacts on the world, we have a poorly configured static economy (albeit with changing rare weapons), a rating system for factions. Factions for the most part are static and change only with the development of the plot. There are mods for enabling war between factions, which can be influenced, but the wars themselves don’t really affect anything. The only hope is for the further development of the game, so far 6/10 on this point.
Graphics. What’s nice is that fairly average computers can handle graphics. There is something to look at, the animations, in my opinion, are pleasant. The extremely pleasant sensation of charging a mechanical fist into an opponent’s tambourine. 7.5/10.
Plot. Nothing special, but it won't let you get bored with funny missions. The bigger regret is that without modifications there is no sandbox. 7/10.
Management. Quite convenient. Sometimes strange, sometimes little information. But overall quite friendly. 8/10.
Sound accompaniment. It’s certainly pleasing, although it’s not very diverse, but it doesn’t get boring. I would, however, like a more severe voice acting for weapons. 8/10.
Multiplayer. Only battles between 2 players with a previously acquired spear are offered. Reminds me of Xsom multiplayer. Just to be a fan. 5/10.
Localization. They promised it a couple of months after release, but they never delivered it. Well, at least English in the game is not difficult. 1/10.
So the game is average. This is recommended for lovers of engineering romance in the form of huge fighting humanoid robots. In addition, the developers are trying to add something new, using modifications from fans, who appear more and more every week.
