BATTLETECH FLASHPOINT MECHS PATCH
BATTLETECH FLASHPOINT MECHS SERIES

Forcing you to live with injuries and damage sustained from one mission to the next. Made up from two to six linked missions they introduce new characters and events that include decisions, these not only affect how the missions will play out but also give them some replay value.įlashpoints not only offer linked missions with a narrative hook, they mix things up by sometimes not allowing you to refit and redeploy. These can appear throughout the game’s campaign and career modes and provide self-contained mini stories. The meat and potatoes of the expansion however are the Flashpoints themselves.

These are both welcome additions and combined with the procedural nature of the game broaden the palette for the game to create things for your band of mercenaries to do. And the new mission type “Target Acquisition” sees you needing to split your forces to control multiple points on the map. The new tropical biome brings a fresh tinge of colour to proceedings as your lance of mechanised monsters get to take in the sights as they fire missiles into the heavens. The first time your poor MechWarriors get an axe to the torso from a Hatchetman will make you wince. Flashpoint introduces the fan favourite Hatchetman, who as you might have guessed has a ruddy large axe for a hand, as well as the laser-toting Crab and the battle computer equipped Cyclops. New mechs give more build options which open up new challenges and strategies.
