About this game

Walking tanks from the BattleTech universe fight other players in this free to play PC game from 2013, built on CryEngine 3. The combat is closer to boxing than to a military shooter: mechs come in weight classes, matches are 12 on 12, and brawler builds trade blows within a hundred or two hundred meters, each side aiming at the other's wounds. Teams meet in deathmatch, king of the hill and conquest, and a win pays experience and C-bills for new machines and fittings, while faction warfare puts the fights on a map of planets, each won for a house. A founders' programme of three tiers, each with a mech of its own, raised five million dollars by the open beta of 2012. It reached Steam in 2015 and is still run, and the slugging match feel is what sets it apart today.
