Take, for instance, my own starting lance. RogueTech gives me the tools I need to try something stupid, and then pulls no punches when I push my luck too far. In that way it lives up to the promise of a roguelike experience. It also offers what I need to get by on a shoestring budget, repurposing existing vehicles for jobs well outside their role.

It changes how and why you position your forces during turn-based battles. RogueTech includes electronic warfare, modeling classic BattleTech bits like the Beagle Active Probe and the N.A.R.C. It models everything from engine size to armor type, dramatically expanding how I’m able to customize my lance before heading into battle. It includes a module called Mech Engineer, which offers new ways to modify ’Mechs that simply weren’t available in the original game. RogueTech isn’t just a laundry list of new bells and whistles. Add to that a bunch of new weapons, tanks, and other vehicles - including aircraft, which are absent from the stock version of BattleTech - and you have a completely different tactical experience.

The mod expands the list of playable units in the game from dozens to literally thousands, all culled from the more than 35-year history of the tabletop franchise. It’s a hefty package, weighing in at more than 2.6 GB, but there’s a good reason for that.

RogueTech is a near-total conversion for BattleTech, a set of different mods and assets all bundled up together. It’s called RogueTech, and it might just be my favorite strategy game of the year so far.
Lately, though, I’ve been pulled back into the universe thanks to a remarkable set of fan-made mods. I thought that Piranha Games’ MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries would bring me back to BattleTech, but sadly, that game fell well short of my expectations. After that campaign was over, though, my interest began to wane. When Harebrained Schemes’ BattleTech arrived in 2018, I praised the turn-based strategy game for its immersive storyline.
