If you are fan of giant mechs and turn based tactical combat I would recommend this game. While it has some shortcomings with map/mission variety and balance between light/medium mechs and heavy/assault mechs. Game offers solid tactical combat, great visuals and decent overall story in single player. Mech customization is fairly in depth ,though some long time fans of these games will miss clan tech weapons (since this game takes place before clan invasion). Finally it is worth mentioning that devevelopers have been putting out regular updates ever since launch.
