Techwars Online

Don't assume this is like Battletech. It's like Front-Mission. Let me explain why. Weapons don't just have range limits, they have specific template areas they can hit. Take the long range missile. It has a 3-hex wide and 8 hex long area it can hit. The targetable area is 5 hexes distant from the firing mech. However, what I consider to be the game's fatal flaw is that you can ONLY shoot in one of the 6 hex facing directions. If the enemy is one hex to the left or right of a straight line up the row of hexes, you mysteriously cannot take a shot at them. Ok, I get that it makes the game more a maneuver puzzle as players try to get enemies into one of those 6 cardinal facings. I don't like it in the least, however. Had I realized this was the mechanic, I would have reconsidered the purchase. The range bands are cool, but the strict facing limits for weapons fire were very... shocking. It makes it more "mech chess" than a war game. That's what the developer intended, so if ...

If you're looking for a MechWarrior game with Atlas, Hunchback, and Spider type mechs, you'll be disappointed. This game uses mechs as a reference, but it's it own thing. It's about conserving armor and putting your mech in the right hex and facing to use the weapon you want (Think of solving a template puzzle over aiming and shooting a weapon and you'll do fine). You can customize loadouts in terms of favoring shorter or longer ranged weapons. You can chose whether to put your armor on the right-left-or body facing. You gain implants as you level up. It's a leveling game where you get better through unlocks rather than a mech building game where you're factoring size, armor, speed, and loadout. I admit...at first...I was disappointed that this wasn't a rebirth of a MechWarrior Tactics type game. But I got over that and the game is what it is. The PVP is nice and better balanced because of the game's simplicity. It's not a bad game. It's a bit phoney (Phone app like :-) ) a...

Besides not knowing what Battletech is or Front-Mission, i find this game fascinating. The game itself is on early development, not early access, I hope thye add new features and items for further startegies, because this game is nothing else than Chess with giant robots and hexagonal space instead of square.

If you like games that have a more tactical, slower pace combat this is for you. Stay together and plan out your next move before doing it.

In short, I feel like the TechWars is definitely worth getting. I recommend this game. Gameplay experience is outstanding. Graphics is up to a really good standard. You may to customize the weapons, armour of your mechs. Use your head, play it safe and you'll make it, most of the time. This is not so much a game you can jump into and be good at. It seems like these days that's all people want out of a game, an easy, instant gratification game. You have to put some work into your play's in order to win here.)))

It requires being online, even if playing the single player campaign, a number of times I've had missions end or mechs act weird due to connections issues. Occasionally mechs don't turn or the turn order goes weird or freezes. I can't recommend this game in it's current state.

This game is, simply put, just AWESOME. Great game engine, good play, and very enjoyable. A couple of rough edges, but find it to be outstanding. Great!

This is a great strategy game. I enjoyed the game. -Gameplay experience is outstanding -Graphics is up to a really good standard -There are able to customize the weapons and armour I definitly recommend this game.

I really enjoy this game and don't really see whats up with the stream of bad reviews rolling in. Use your head, play it safe and you'll make it, most of the time. This is not so much a game you can jump into and be good at. It seems like these days that's all people want out of a game, an easy, instant gratification game. You have to put some work into your play's in order to win here. Do I recommend this game? Absolutely.

Cool!
