The main thing in this game is mechs. They are controlled by people, built, modernized, but in fact they complete the history of mankind and perform one simple task in intergalactic space: to do everything so that the owners live well. BATTLETECH is a real-time strategy with the ability to develop your base to the level of a full-fledged space base with an emphasis on economy, hostility, aggression or friendliness.
There is a lot you can do in BATTLETECH: develop your base to the level of a feudal commonwealth with other factions, upgrade mechs to capture intergalactic space, or stay in a defensive stance until the opponents kill each other. You are provided with several tactical plots to choose from, each of which is implemented depending on the level of your pumping. For example, if you managed to create furs with four guns, then no one will attack you for some time. Any battle will be justified by victory for you.
An amazing possibility of the game is the creation of a robot in the conditions of "your garage". In strategy, you will be mining resources to design your mech. Having accumulated, you will open a designer for creating, where the modernization of iron takes place before your eyes: from changing color to the material of the case on the chest.
Factional warfare has been going on in space for hundreds of years because one ruler has been overthrown. The static peace was broken by those who were not pleased with the small amount of resources, as the largest organization tried to absorb all the contents of other galactic states.
We play as mercenaries who must once again put peace in this war. Will we be able to do this by controlling simple robots? The plot develops depending on the choice of answers in the dialogues; from the result of the battle on the planet; from pumping a separate module.
