   Need a lot of improvements: from GPU workload, veeeeeery long loading times and twitchy UI to rehauling animations, speeding-up AI turns and else.
   Plus - no overwatch, no list of targets, no in-battle log, no post-battle report (there is, actually, but it so poor, even without a list of kills) and no mini-map. It's just plain stupid.
   Ah, and no memorial of some kind for my fallen mechwarriors ))
   Hope, there will be a patch soon. Or couple. Or dozen. The game has potential, but for now it feels like an early beta.… Expand

   I think I´ve never seen a game with so many unjust ratings as this one. Giving Battletech a rating above 8 or below 3 is, from my point ofI think I´ve never seen a game with so many unjust ratings as this one. Giving Battletech a rating above 8 or below 3 is, from my point of view, just unfair.
   
   If you read through all the 10 and 0 ratings, most of what people say is true (they just decide to ignore the rest).
   
   Is the game bad? Well, from the technical side... absolutely! The very poor performance, loading times, the amount of bugs, glitches, sound errors, save game issues ... wow... this is not an early access game, it´s a full release! I have to wonder if the devs ever played their game before releasing it?
   Is the game good? Well, actually it is. Being a fan of the xcom series (but not expecting as much), I really was surprised by the strategic depth of the game. You have a ton of options outfitting your mechs. Unleashing hell on your enemies and blowing up their mechs is very satisfying.
   
   But let me tell you about specific issues people seem to have with game:
   
   The story:
   The story is not that bad, it´s the presentation that ruins it. What breaks the mood is f.e. that talking to your crew will reward you with textboxes, more textboxes and even more textboxes.... sigh...
   
   the graphics:
   I´ve seen worse.
   
   the balancing:
   this really is an issue. Here the game could have used some more tweaking before release. Most of the missions are good, but suddenly you´ll tumble into one that is either really hard or just pathetic.
   Let me tell you about my experience with my "protect the convoy missions":
   1st mission: Escort convoy to the city. City is located to the left (as are my mechs), convoy in the middle and enemies to the right. First turn, convoy turns around and drives into the enemies and dies.
   2nd mission: Escort the convoy to it´s destination. I start at the same location as the convoy, there´s a road with blockades, behind them, the goal. Convoy drives so fast, that non of my mechs could keep up with it. I managed to save one truck (from 8).
   3rd mission: Protect... and so on. Convoy starts next to the enemies and dies in the first turn.
   I guess that the missions are random gen. Some are bad, but most of them are really good.
   
   Tutorial:
   Really? No one here had an issue with that? I watched two tutorials on youtube on how the mechs and tactics work, as the game does barely explain the depths of the combat.
   
   What is Battletech?
   I have no clue, what it is supposed to be. But I thought it was funny to read reviews with a rating of 0, because it was nothing like battletech and others with 10 because it is exactly like batlletech. Ok... I guess...
   
   Overall rating:
   It´s a really good turn based strategy game, with a lot of depth, but it suffers from so many technical issues. If you have not yet played Battletech, then wait for A LOT of patches, before playing it.… Expand

   -Tactics are bad, AI is bad, story is bad...
   -Mech animations look good for the first 1 hr of the game and then it gets old and the camera angles are horrible.
   -did i mention horrible camera angles? Cant even see your units moving.
   -takes 1 month to fix a mech but cant hire more technicians? maybe you can in the future but i uninstalled before that.
   -at least they tried, go buy and play shadowrun from this dev, a much better game....… Expand

   An obtuse game poorly explained, with worse pacing, and inconsistent mechanics.
