Getting a 1-shot kill on an enemy mech from behind, it's an awesome feeling when you see it happen. While BATTLEMECH is good, it's still quite a daunting game to get into and understand but fantastic once you do. To appreciate it, you need to really understand the core gameplay experience it offers. Pictured: The new Phoenix Hawke included in Heavy Metal in action.Īs a turn-based strategy game, BATTLEMECH already had a huge amount going for it so Heavy Metal is truly an expansion aimed at the big fans of BATTLEMECH. The COIL Beam is certainly an interesting new weapon, charging up the more a 'mech travels to then unleash it in their face-love it. Each time you start a new career, a different batch will be available. When you start a new game in Career Mode, it gives you the option to get some bonus starting content from Heavy Metal which will pull randomized contents from the new pool of 'mechs and weapons (you don't have to accept it). Getting access to the DLC content was made relatively simple too. A derelict cargo ship has drifted into the Periphery from deep space what secrets does it contain, and who will ultimately control its mysterious payload? Come face-to-face with two legendary characters from BATTLETECH lore - the Bounty Hunter and the Black Widow of Wolf’s Dragoons.

Eight all-new weapon systems can be utilized to destroy even the most formidable opponents in a wide variety of unique ways: the new ‘Mech Mortar is the first AOE weapon in BATTLETECH that can destroy multiple units at once while the new Inferno Missiles coat a target in burning fuel causing enemies to shut down in combat.

Each classic ‘Mech comes with unique equipment that reflects the flavor and lore of the original board game.
