Description of BattleTech: The Crescent Hawk's Inception
Download BattleTech: The Crescent Hawk's Inception for free now. Published in 1988 by Infocom, Inc., enjoy a role-playing (rpg) game with turn-based, battlemech theme!
As the first and only RPG based on the well-known FASA giant robots universe (Battletech 2, not developed by Westwood, isn't an RPG but a turn-based tactical strategy game), The Crescent Hawk's Inception does not disappoint. Westwood again masterfully weaves an addictive blend of action and traditional RPG into a captivating game, with an engaging plot that follows the adventure of Mech pilot Jason Youngblood from his apprentice days and beyond. Truly a game that sets new standards for the genre, and foreshadows many successors to the FASA license. Two thumbs up!

I played this game when it first came out, and even now, I think it's still fun. While it's not as honed as today's RTS games, it has its own unique features and pitfalls.
This game was a complete departure from the earlier game, using a top-down RTS interface instead of a 3-D cockpit sim interface. As far as gameplay goes, it poses decent challenges and you really appreciate the different mechs available - and there's great replay value in trying to win battles over and over using different groups of mechs. The only annoyance I have with this game is the sometimes-frustrating navigation system. To move a unit, the computer determines the route from A to B and each mech can move a limited number of squares per turn. The computer can come up with some pretty ridiculous routes. Oh well.
