MechWarrior Tactics
Just announced today, MechWarrior Tactics is a brand new free-to-play turn-based strategy title set in BattleTech universe year of 3025 as war rages throughout the Inner Sphere (When is war not raging throughout the Inner Sphere?).
MechWarrior Tactics will feature upgradeable Mechs, earnable experience and resources that allow you to level your Mech up, a seamlessly integrated store that won't force you to leave the game to purchase mission critical items, asynchronous combat (which apparently means multiple player-driven battles occurring simultaneously all over the world), ranked games and leaderboards to keep track of the top Mech jockeys, and when the battle is over, you'll be able to watch and share footage using the cinematic replay feature.
MechWarrior Tactics will hit PCs in North America later this year.
