Battletech is a turn based strategy game that allows you to hire and rank up a variety of pilots, equip their mechs, and take mission contracts for your four person team to complete. Well thought out gameplay that allows for a good variety of tactical decisions, a good variety of mechs, good mission variety (the the campaign missions often giving unique objectives), and a well made UI that shows you what you need to know. The game feels made to allow for loss of mechs or pilots or for you to have to take the loss of destroyed items and weapons while also paying the repair bill. Good plot supported with nice artwork during cutscenes and an excellent soundtrack. Diverse cast of characters and options for character creations with support for non binary characters. Your background and past actions can effect event choices which can give you different bonuses or penalties for your mech bay, medical ability, faction reputation, etc. Some amusing banter during ship travel as well, though it starts to get repeated quickly. Game also offers a multiplayer mode that gives you a variety of pilots to use with set abilities but still lets you customize the mechs that you want to use in game modes that can allow for different total cost categories. The only real gameplay problem I'm finding is that some of the heavy weapons like the AC10/AC20 and large laser just don't seem useful outside of vehicles or turrets that have them in the single player game.

Very good foundation for future games or expansions, which it sounds like they are working on after the good reception and sales this had.
