In a few skirmishes, I tested out the new mechs against another lance of equal capabilities. With that Assassin mech, I was able to not only successfully stop a couple of enemy pirates from escaping with valuable cargo, but could also viably support my other mechs. We still could do better by reserving the light mechs for certain flashpoint missions which are dependent on high mobility.
And although I still feel that throughout the game, missions still tend to favor heavier mechs to light ones, the Assassin is a medium mech that is quite versatile. It balances the scales a little bit with the addition of the Assassin mech and Warhammer (more on those later.) While I still suck miserably at using lasers and at keeping all of my lance alive, the fact that the career mode freely gave me an Assassin made my life much easier. But then, I’m not a developer, so what do I know? Anyways, let’s break Heavy Metal down.įrom playing through a new career mode, I found that the new mechs add more value to the game.
Is it worth the price point? I think it’s within my expectations for DLC content but it’s hard to rate whether the price point is right. It also offers a mini story mission to explain the existence of the developers custom mech.

At its core, Heavy Metal offers a couple of quality of life tweaks, a few new mechs, a couple of new maps, official mod support, and some new weapons. Players have to think about what they expect from a DLC before deciding if it is worth their time and money. So first thing is first, Heavy Metal is the final DLC. That said, being that I am one of those core BattleTech fans, the additions they made actually excited me. If your expectation was to get massive content (like in Flashpoint) or something else other than some quality of life changes, this might not be for you. I assume this because of what Heavy Metal adds to the game like the new mechs and a few new mission types, but these cater to current players. It is the last DLC for this title and I’m among many that were stoked about it.Īt its core, BattleTech: Heavy Metal is a DLC designed for the main fanbase and most likely will not attract many new players. The first was Age of Wonders: Planetfall – Revelations (which was already reviewed here) and the second was BattleTech: Heavy Metal, which I am covering today. Paradox released two mammoth games right around my birthday, which made for a fun and busy time in the end of 2019. with a copy provided by the publisher.Ĭheck out Harebrained Schemes on social media:ĭon’t forget to follow Paradox Interactive in the following places:
