Turn-based tactical 'Mech combat set in the classic 3025 era of the BattleTech Universe. From the creators of the Shadowrun Series!

 

BATTLETECH is in development for PC, Mac, and Linux in English and will be delivered in standard and DRM-free versions on Steam, GoG, and Humble stores. The game will also be made available in German, French, and Russian (with localized text, and audio subtitles) in a post-launch update. Other platforms and languages may be announced at a later stage. BATTLETECH is expected to launch in early 2017.

 

>>> WHAT

BATTLETECH is a single-player, turn-based, tactical 'Mech combat game for PC. (And Mac and Linux!) The game may also include PVP multiplayer if enough funding is reached - more on that below.

>>> WHERE

The BattleTech Universe is one of near-constant warfare and feudal political intrigue, where great noble houses vie for dominance of a vast region of space known as the Inner Sphere. It's a universe of flawed heroes, fallen empires and grey moral realities. Great families vie for supremacy, with alliances and betrayals constantly shifting the balance of power.

>>> WHEN

Our BATTLETECH game is set in the popular 3025 Succession Wars Era of the BattleTech Universe - often referred to as "Classic BattleTech".

 

 

Carte du monde :

 

• STAGE 1 (Internally funded by Harebrained Schemes): A turn-based tactical skirmish game - command a Lance of 4 'Mechs & MechWarriors against AI opponents across a variety of battlefields.
• STAGE 2 ($1,000,000 on KS): We add a full, single-player story campaign to the game.
• STAGE 3 ($1,850,000 on KS): We add side-missions, procedurally-generated missions and the campaign becomes open-ended. 
• STAGE 4 ($2,500,000 on KS): Introduces PVP multiplayer combat in the famous arenas of Solaris VII.

 

 

BATTLETECH is set in a universe at perpetual war, fought by militarized factions utilizing huge, mechanized combat vehicles called BattleMechs.

Following centuries of space colonization and the rise of six Great Noble Houses, treachery undermined the Star League and toppled its First Lord. The rulers of the five remaining Houses each proclaimed themselves the new First Lord, and so the Succession Wars began - hundreds of years of mechanized armies, scavenged technology, and political machinations.

Now, in 3025, each faction is near its breaking point. An uneasy stalemate sets in as the Houses scrape to rebuild their holdings, reinforce their worlds, and restock their 'Mech armies. But the conflict continues as the nobility drives their agendas forward covertly through the use of mercenaries…   

Whether maintained by a House army, or passed down within a MechWarrior family from generation to generation, BattleMechs reign supreme on the thirty-first century battlefield. These massive weapon platforms - ranging from seven to sixteen meters in height, and twenty to one hundred tons in weight - form the backbone of the Great Houses' interstellar armies.

'Mechs are rare, and often passed down from generation to generation within a noble family.

 

 

Over the 200 years of the Succession Wars, attrition has eaten away at the resources of the Great Houses, and the number of working BattleMechs on the field has dwindled. By 3025, field-ready 'Mechs are a precious commodity, and keeping them running is a tactical necessity

Perso je suis hypé à fond, perso j'ai backé c'est un univers que j'adore, c'est du tour par tour c'est fait par Harebrainschemes (shadowrun, dragonfall et hong kong).

La campagne est quasiment au stage 3, donc si la campagne solo est étendue ça va être le pied !

J'aurais voulu encore des tonnes et des tonnes de campagnes pour Shadowrun, mais je comprends que les dev aient envie de se changer les idées après tant de temps passé dans l'univers cyberpunk.

Il reste moins de 36 heures pour soutenir le projet.

2 429 101 $ ont été obtenu pour une demande initiale de 250 000 $, ce qui permet de débloquer notamment la campagne solo et le PVP en multi.

On dirait bien que HBS conserve sans problème sa base de soutiens.
