BattleTech is an upcoming turn-based strategy video game being developed by Harebrained Schemes. It is set for release on Windows, OS X, and Linux in early 2017. The developers set aside US$1 million to create the game, and then turned to Kickstarter to secure funding for additional features, including a single player campaign, an expansion of that campaign, and a player versus player multiplayer mode. In the game, the player assumes the role of a mercenary commander leading a team of powerful combat vehicles called mechs. The player is responsible for selecting each mech's model, armaments, and skills, and controls a team of four mechs in combat. The world of BattleTech is dominated by powerful noble houses locked in a devastating war, and the player selects one or more houses to serve. The game shares a setting with the board game that launched the BattleTech franchise, Classic BattleTech, and many members of the development team have worked on previous games in the franchise...
