BattleTech review: Heavy metal

The Pitch
In past reviews, I’ve made no secret of both my love for giant robots and my enthusiasm for turn-based tactics and grand strategy games, no matter how overwhelmingly complex they are nor how much of my free time they tend to obliterate. With that criteria in mind, it shouldn’t really surprise you to learn that BattleTech - a game which ticks both of these boxes - is a game that I am pretty-much going to endorse right from the outset. Regardless, given my own mixed-experiences with previous efforts by developer Harebrained Schemes, it ended up being a bit of a surprise to me just how deep down the rabbit hole I ended up falling with BattleTech.

The Bottom Line
If you, like me, are a fan of a) giant robots and b) borderline-incoherently complex turn-based tactics and grand strategy games, you’re probably going to like BattleTech. Doubly so if you’re an old-school fan of the source material. Even with the occasional bugs and sometimes-frustrating lack of explanation around crucial mechanics, it stands tall as both a strategic and narrative-rich tactics game and Harebrained Schemes’ best release to date.
