Customer Reviews (4.4 / 5 · 5 reviews)

Steven ★★★★★

I'd only ever played the video games, so actually rolling dice and tracking heat on these mech sheets was a whole new kind of tense. The rulebook walks you through your first lance fight step by step, and by the second game I wasn't flipping back to the index every turn.

Penelope ★★★★★

The sheer weight of that rulebook in my hands matches the heft of the mechs themselves—it's dense but laid out so clearly that my first battle was done in an hour. The lore about the thirty-first century and the MechWarrior role really pulls you in, making every dice roll feel like it has real stake

Emily B. ★★★★☆

The mech record sheets and hex maps made our first lance-on-lance game way easier to run than I expected. Only gripe is the intro fiction section drags a bit before you hit the actual combat rules, but the quick-start scenario at the back more than makes up for it.
