The first time I met Balteus, I brought my trusty build of a lightweight AC with pulse sword / pulse gun / double vertical 4-tube rockets against him and almost went close to beating him three times but to no avail.

Went back to the bay, slapped out a tank tread AC with tons of armor and dual laser cannons / dual plasma rifles and pushed it out to meet Balteus again.

Cleared it out on the first try, complete with plasma explosions and fireworks.

Definitely what I wanted and more out of this and highly recommend.

I'll start on the nitpicking side of it all, it'll be repetitive and it'll be slow and ponderous and quite text-demanding at times. That's pretty much it, in my end anyways.

Other than that? This game is amazing. I'll agree to the people who call it "XCom with Big Robots", because it really is like that. You'll get excited getting your first assault mech you'll get from salvage; you'll care of all the digitalized characters you'll be manning and controlling; you'll spend your time thinking of the best way to arm your big robots and figure out the next big robot you want to find and scrap and salvage. It was a good wait for me and the only regret on my end is that I did not back the game in their Kickstarter program.

All in all, a great game and worth the time if you're a fan of Mechwarrior, MechCommander, MechCommander 2, or just a fan of Battletech in general.

Oh, and one more nitpick: why did Dekker always die in all my runs lmao.
