The scope of some of these add-ons is nothing short of incredible. These missions flexed strategic muscles I hadn’t been using and were a welcome change from the base game.Įven after I finished the campaign and experienced much of what the career mode had to offer, I was able to continue my adventure thanks to community developed mods. Some of these focus on light ‘Mechs only, or using a pre-determined lance that I couldn’t modify. On a semi-random basis, “flashpoints” will show up in the Star Map. Supplementary missions add context and variety to the career experience. I also tried the career mode, which is unattached to the campaign but uses the same map and allows me more freedom to live the life of a mercenary company commander in the Deep Periphery, taking odd contracts and slowly building a fighting force. I enjoyed being a mercenary for a faction that I had never encountered before, the Aurigan Coalition, while I followed the twists and turns of a bloody coup. The base game has a well thought out and paced campaign.
BATTLETECH BEST MECH SERIES
The result is a faithful reimagining sure to delight both newcomers and series veterans alike. Set in the same universe as the tabletop game of the same name, Battletech captures the magic of the original while making combat and customization smoother, faster, and simpler. These are the kind of decisions that the game Battletech asks of me. Should I reload the mission and risk the salvage I had just acquired, or let my second-best pilot die? In one shot, I lost one of my veteran pilots and best ‘Mechs. As I patted myself on the back for a well-executed mission, one of the final enemy light ‘Mechs maneuvered behind Ghoul and shot his machine in the rear-center torso, the most lightly armored and vulnerable section of his BattleMech. After that the combat got substantially easier, and I had enough salvage to rebuild the ‘Mech myself. I maneuvered the lance to a treeline for some cover from enemy fire and got a lucky headshot on the enemy heavy ‘Mech.
