MechWarrior Tactics is a computer translation of the popular BattleTech board game. The theme here is giant stompy robots, massive war machines who pound each other on the battlefield with missiles, lasers, and big guns. While MechWarrior has been done before as a series of first-person shooter games, MechWarrior Tactics is the first attempt to move the board game itself into the digital era. Check out this article with a hands-on view of the game in action. VentureBeat has the story.
There really is nothing better than big, stompy robots. It’s good to see MechWarrior Tactics is coming along well.
