The larger the mech the more flexibility you have in outfitting your equipment. Ammunition and the weapons are all managed in a inventory puzzle system in-between missions. All the staple weapons are accounted for, Missiles, Slug throwers, Lasers, Flame throwers, Plasma cannons and sweet sweet melee. The actual gameplay is turnbased using a priority system, each Mech can individually tasked and based upon how quickly you burn through each ability this results in dynamic combat rota where enemy mechs interrupt your turns and you can do the same to them. It’s fantastic, dynamic and has no bearing on the central characters because all of these discussions come from the randomly generated hired mechwarriors who are all ultimately replicable. IE: Character from planet X thinks character from Planet Y is untrustworthy because of historical confrontations and different cultural priorities- you being from Planet Z must be the mediator. No not “diverse” stuff actual references from the lore. Each mech warrior can be trained and upgraded as a unique individual and they have minor “quests” in-between gameplay missions, this could be as simple as approving their use of backwater herbal medicine and taking whatever buffs & debuffs that provides, accommodate changes to the barracks to increase moral and get stat bonuses or settle disputes between members who have different ethnic backgrounds. Holy sh*t turn based location damage ultra-customisable rougelike mechanics where pilots can be injured, permanently die and you can and will run into situations where you run out of c-bills post a battle and can no longer repair your mech forcing you to either restart the campaign or use whatever back up mechs you didn’t ever plan on using and have because you totally didn’t put them into storage by mistake instead of selling them.Ĥ5-ish Hours may not be the greatest amount of playtime at the time of writing but I can tell the core game is excellent. I seriously grew more of an attachment towards the randomly generated hired lance mates then the core characters, RIP Sunshine my Irish warrior bitch, I’d take you over any the token tickbox diverse cast of super special people… Who again, do not matter beyond the finale of the game and rarely if ever contribute towards the gameplay.Īh yes, gameplay. None are actual mech pilots who contribute mission per mission. Or just one world? Look I tried to care but none of the dialogue is voice acted, which is a shame since the artwork is presented as an gorgeous motion comic and the key characters are all invulnerable who support you. You get hired by a princess to reclaim her kingdom and become a queen of a few minor worlds. Yet this game is a gender neutral fanfiction set centuries before the clan invasion which makes its impact on the setting absolutely inconsequential.

Look the Mechwarrior games have a longstanding time tradition of setting themselves several editions behind the tabletop and always contorted themselves into accommodating a cannon pleasing finale, admirable in its own way as those titles always had you involved with the great houses or clans- just away from the singular historical event that spearheads a narrative shift.

Is it tied to the optional Paradox account? I just wanted my old crew why is this an issue HBS?Īnyway, this is mechanically brilliant game attached to a plot that can be completely ignored, and those who play exclusively using the RogueTech- which is essentially an endless mode mod does ignore the plot.

I’ve placed an additional 26.7 Hours into the GoG Version but despite transferring the save files the game won't recognise the saves, so no achievement importing or continuing my previous campaign despite the newly imported save files not being overwritten or deleted by the steam cloud sync…
