BattleTech: CityTech is for those who enjoy a good tactical wargame with miniatures, but crave a more claustrophobic and adrenaline-fueled experience than open fields. The gameplay is intense urban combat, where terrain is as crucial as your 'Mech. The overall impression is of a robust classic that still delivers plenty of fun and strategy for anyone venturing into mech warfare.

About the game
What you do in a play session
Get ready to dive into the urban chaos of the Inner Sphere with BattleTech: CityTech! As war rages unchecked, the mighty BattleMechs of the five Great Houses are in a frantic race to plunder the cities of the old Star League. You'll pilot your 'Mech into a hostile urban environment, where every alley and skyscraper can be both an opportunity to find valuable resources and cutting-edge technology, and a deadly trap. The city is a dynamic battlefield: buildings offer essential cover from enemy fire, but can also collapse, turning into dangerous rubble. Don't just expect confrontations with other 'Mechs; infantry fire from windows, tanks and armored vehicles ambush you in narrow streets, and danger lurks around every corner. Confusion and turmoil are the norm, and only the most cunning and resilient pilots will survive this urban carnage. CityTech expands the BattleTech universe, bringing the intensity of 'Mech battles to the claustrophobic and unpredictable setting of cities. This standalone game comes with everything you need to jump into the action and, who knows, maybe even smash City Hall with your 'Mech! It's your chance to prove you're the master of urban warfare.
