Harebrained cleverly set the events of that game in an unexplored region of the massive BattleTech universe. The base game tells a complete story, which, as we noted in our first impressions of the game, raises the bar considerably for narratives in a turn-based strategy game. In BattleTech, players take on the role of a mercenary company fighting to return an ousted leader to her rightful place on the throne. “To ramp up the intensity, some Flashpoint stories will feature ‘Consecutive Deployments’ in which players won’t be able to repair their ‘Mechs between missions.” “Flashpoints are high-stakes branching short stories, comprised of procedural mercenary missions linked together with new crew conversations, special events, critical choices, and valuable rewards,” wrote the developers. The announcement was accompanied by a new trailer, which we’ve embedded above.

Called Flashpoint, it will include new BattleMechs, a new biome and a new mission type.įlashpoint is the first in a series of procedurally generated short stories, according to a news release issued this week to coincide with the Gamescom convention in Germany. Now the developers have announced their first expansion. BattleTech, the turn-based strategy title from Harebrained Schemes, turned a lot of heads when it was released in April.
