[GOTW] MechWarrior 5, A Must Have For Mecha Enthusiasts

Game of the Week (GOTW) is a special column by Dunia Games that will discuss a new game released every week. For the first edition of GOTW, the game that we’ll discuss is MechWarrior 5 Mercenaries, which will be released on December 10.

For those of you who don’t know it yet, the MechWarrior series is an aged battle robot game. This game first appeared for PC in 1993 and was quite well received. This game series even dominated the 90s when MechWarrior 2 won the Best Computer Fantasy Game in 1995, and MechWarrior 3 won the Best Computer Action Game in 1999.

If you’re one of the recurring players of the MechWarrior series or if you’re a fan of the mecha and battle genre, you should not miss this one.

MechWarrior 5 flow

MechWarrior 5 takes place in the year 3015. That year, Mech or combat robots are rare. Mech isn’t just merely an expendable war machine to bet thrown out after the war but actually considered as a valuable object, inherited in families, from generation to generation.

By driving a Mech, you are tasked with completing various war missions. Of course, you will face enemies’ Mech with different types and weapons on various battlefields and promises exciting actions at each level.

War in MechWarrior 5 is far more complicated compared to other war games. In an interview with PC Gamer, the developer, Piranha Games, claimed that the war story in MechWarrior 5 would last for 34 years. The war situation will certainly develop each year.

This game isn’t always about shooting with Mech, because you are also required to manage finances during the war. You have to manage the money you get in each battle, whether it’s to repair a badly damaged Mech or to modify its weapon to make it more deadly. Due to this, every campaign feels crucial, since it will affect your finances in the future.
