This is a great RPG, one of the best ever. You start as Jason, a young battlemech cadet in a training camp. After a while, a citadel gets destroyed while you escape and start your quest. The game itself is pretty big. It includes mech fights, character interaction, money earning. An interesting blend of RPG and tactical strategy with some adventure elements, Battletech follows the story of Jason Youngblood as he searches for information of his father Jeremiah, and a lost cache of 'Mech parts. As the first and only RPG based on the well-known FASA giant robots universe (Battletech 2, not marketed by the original Infocom company, isn't an RPG but a turn-based tactical strategy game), it does not disappoint. Westwood again masterfully weaves an addictive blend of action and traditional RPG into a captivating game, with an engaging plot that follows the adventure of Mech pilot Jason Youngblood from his apprentice days and beyond. Truly a game that sets new standards for the genre, and foreshadows many successors to the FASA license. |
