Steam announces a free
weekend is underway for
BATTLETECH along with a half-off sale on the mechanized action/strategy
game for Windows, macOS, and Linux. Here's a pitch to entice you into trying
this:
From original BATTLETECH/MechWarrior creator Jordan Weisman and the
developers of the award-winning Shadowrun Returns series comes the
next-generation of turn-based tactical 'Mech combat.
The year is 3025 and the galaxy is trapped in a cycle of perpetual war, fought
by noble houses with enormous, mechanized combat vehicles called BattleMechs.
Take command of your own mercenary outfit of 'Mechs and the MechWarriors that
pilot them, struggling to stay afloat as you find yourself drawn into a brutal
interstellar civil war. Upgrade your starfaring base of operations, negotiate
mercenary contracts with feudal lords, repair and maintain your stable of aging
BattleMechs, and execute devastating combat tactics to defeat your enemies on
the battlefield.
