BATTLETECH

BATTLETECH is a turn-based tactics game about a mercenary squad that fights in combat vehicles. The action takes place on the outskirts of explored space, where there is a war for influence between houses. The player manages the mother ship, hires pilots and takes on contracts. Mechs are assembled from parts, so after each battle there is something to repair and replace losses with. The battle takes place in turns: the heating of the weapon, the armor in parts and the position of the vehicle are important. Pilots gain experience and skills, and their character is reflected in their lines of battle. In addition to battles, there is trading, traveling between systems and choosing orders that bring money. Repairs and replacement of parts eat up revenue, so contracts that seem profitable at first glance sometimes turn into losses. Some pilots are dissatisfied with long flights, and this also has to be taken into account. The story campaign tells about the restoration of the detachment and about affairs in one of the border areas. Heavy bellows hit harder, but they are slower and tolerate heat less well, so the composition is selected for the task. Damage is counted in parts: a knocked-down arm deprives you of a weapon, and a pierced cabin ends the battle. Loot from the battlefield is used if it can be removed before departure. Equipping pilots and mechs costs money, so you have to choose between repairing and hiring. Relationships with houses affect access to rare cars and parts. Some of the contracts are related to the protection of facilities, and some are related to raids on bases. Maps vary in terrain, so one tactic does not work everywhere. For those who like to count and sacrifice technology for profit, the project is suitable.
