Mech combat is front and centre and it doesn't put a large metal foot wrong in this regard. Combat is weighty and mechanical with methodical placement of fire and positioning proving more important twitch reactions. Paying the bills and scavenging the resources for your merc lance provides an entertaining aside. Outside of combat the game can feel a little shallow but it does just enough to keep you invested in the progression of your merc outfit. It would have been nice if there was more to your recruits than some slowly inproving stats. A way of developing relationships between lance members, with growing rivalries and comradeship might have made me care more when one of them kicks the bucket, but this is a minor criticism. Stompy mech combat has never been so much fun.

Good game. Very technical and somewhat difficult combat but fun in its own way

Challenging. Tough but fair. FUN!

This game has been fun to play, the more i play the more i like it. It is challenging, a test of your tactics, and your squad control. It does have a bit of a slow start to it. Don't expect to jump into anything more then a medium mech for a time., but once you get your reputation up then get ready to have even more fun.

Good but tricksie multiplayer

Lots of fun with mods. My 8 year old plays in my campaign. Multiplayer is a bit 'eh?' because only the hosts game advances. So it works really well if the other plays just want to "drop in." Scratches that giant robit punching giant robit itch.

Great nostalgic jump back into the cockpit. The game is visually impressive and has the same great variety of weapons and missions. Has a more immersive feel compared to console mech games.
