Giant stompy mechs in the style of Imperial Walkers dismembering each other. by Mischief Maker 04/22/2018, 4:27pm PDT
Battletech was originally a tabletop boardgame by FASA based around these stompy mechs with very detailed damage models.

The Mechwarrior games are cockpit-view simulators of said mechs.

Mech commander was a series of isometric real time tactics games in the universe.

Tuesday's upcoming Battletech game is an attempt at a direct translation of the turn-based board game to computer by the same company that did Shadowrun Returns, Dragonfall, and Hong Kong. The last time a game attempted this, to my recollection, was Titans of Steel so at the very least it'll be a gigantic step up for graphics.
