Single player campaign stretch goal already passed. Cautious optimism

I like big stompy things

This takes me back to the late 80's early 90's playing this on a mates floor with the diecast models and dice.

Looking forward to this.

Brings back memories of playing this back in the late 80's on the Atari ST. :cool:

Turn based mech combat? That's got me intrigued.

Good memories of investing my credits with whichever stock it was that fluctuated wildly and coming out on top - heavy weapons and armour all round

Bad memories of getting stuck at the planet map and never completing the game

So near yet so far...

Turn-based tactical 'Mech combat set in the classic 3025

Sounds amazing

I love the lore in the video

Are harebrained schemes really a developer that needs a kickstarter :confused:

They self funded the "base" game and put it on kickstarter to fund extra development.

ok so I've backed this. i was umming anr arring but i actully like the battletech novel, and a few of the games also.
so i am hoping this will have a good single player, and decent skirmish tools.
i'll look forward to what they do.

Ive backed the $50 so I get alpha and beta access.

It's in the final hours now but we still need £74k to reach the final goal...PVP Multiplayer! Spread the word guys.

Fingers crossed, team PvP Missionforce: Cyberstorm was one of the first online games I ever played,, basically a turn-based battletech rip off. It was awesome

LostCorpse · 2 Nov 2015 at 13:32

Looks like we have the PVP now

Kickstarter : $2,450,224
Plus PayPal Total: $62,731
for a total of : $2,512,955 by my reckoning we've reached the PVP stage

Woot
I went with the $50 option please looking to get an extra copy for some one.

is there any videos of game play footage? does look quite good and temping

this reminds me of a old game i used to play called Mech warrior 3

That looks great, but is it me or is there no mention of WHEN they're aiming to deliver this?

May 2017 but like most games could end up taking longer.

HaloUK · 2 Nov 2015 at 20:42

I would like them to add coop over PvP.
