MechWarrior

Game review

The story of MechWarrior revolves around a character named Gideon Braver Vandenburg. His family was murdered and the chalice signifying that he was the heir to the throne on his home planet Ander's Moon was stolen. Without this chalice, he is banished from the planet. In his role, your task is to fix everything and find the person who committed this crime. You have to do all this within five years, otherwise everything will be irretrievably lost.

The basis of the game is BattleMechs, which you can buy, sell or repair if you damage them in battle. All this costs a lot of money, but you earn it by selling it or winning a fight. Of course, you can hire MechWarriors drivers who are of different levels for the bots, and of course you also have to pay them to work for you. In the game, there are several clans called Houses that you can travel between and fill different bowls. Depending on your decisions, you can build good relations with these clans or, on the contrary, antagonize them, which results in them ceasing to offer you more lucrative bowls.

Combat is conducted from a first-person perspective from the cockpit of a robot. You walk around the map looking for targets to destroy. However, mission objectives can be diverse. Sometimes you destroy something, sometimes you defend it. As already mentioned, for these bowls you get money to buy or repair other robots, but also reputation with individual clans.

There are a total of eight BattleMechs to choose from in various price ranges. Each bot is good for something different, so it's not just about saving up for the most expensive one and beating everyone with it. In some missions, a tactical surprise that can only be provided by a certain type of robot will come in handy. You can determine the state of the robot by the color of its armor. The repaired robot is grey, and the more it takes hits, the color changes from yellow to black, with black indicating that a certain part of the robot has been disabled. So, for example, if you shoot your enemies legs, you can win by causing the enemy robot to collapse to the ground.
