MechWarrior: Tactical Command (Video Game Review)

Personae Studio has released a new robot fighting game entitled Mechwarrior: Tactical Command. Players will be able to jump into the action of a real-time strategy game that delivers everything fans loved from the board games delivered straight to their iPad. Mechwarrior: Tactical Command contains over 30 mechs which are giant fighting robots taken from the franchise. Players can upgrade and customize each robot with the C-bills that are awarded from completing missions. The fun truly starts once players deploy their squad composed of four powerful mechs against the incoming horde of enemies. The battle gets intense as you fight your way through three different worlds against huge tanks, Elementals and other enemy robots in over 21 action-packed levels.

Players will need to keep an eye out on several factors during battle such as heat levels and damage to individual mech limbs. The mechs will be controlled through a very unique command interface that was designed specifically with the iPad in mind. This gives players a tight control while on the battlefield without all of the frustration that comes from a overly-complex interface. Mechwarrior: Tactical Command offers an amazing story campaign that will keep players entertained for hours.


Mechwarrior: Tactical Command has everything that makes a great game which includes intense graphics, easy to use controls, amazing sound effects and fun gameplay. Players who grew up loving the series will not be disappointed with the new title on the iPad. If you haven't checked it out then you are already missing out!
