The story takes place during the events of the Clan Invasion in the 3050 era. Players are assigned the role of a Clan Wolf Mechwarrior, who is sent to eliminate several Inner Sphere assets which threaten to destroy the Clan’s dominance on the battlefield, and given Timber Wolf/MadCat mech. This video game is viewed in an isometric view as opposed to the first person view of the previous game.
The game also features a two-player mode where one player controls the bottom half of the mech to navigate it around the map while the second player controls the gun turret. The 31st century is a brutal and violent place. The galaxy is racked by a devastating war waged with gigantic 75-ton BattleMechs teeming with the most ruinous weapons that science can create. MechWarriors like you are needed to pilot the “Madcat” Heavy OmniMech on desperate missions against enemy installations!
This is the world of BATTLETECH! Alone against the relentless onslaught of hordes of enemy defenders, you’ll need skill and cunning to knock out your objectives. Steer your lumbering ‘Mech into the savage fury of a hornet’s nest of attackers, and cut loose with the Madcat’s incredible firepower to lay waste to all before you! Fight to the last for a victory that will bring you honor and glory! And if honor isn’t motivation enough, it helps to remember that the enemy doesn’t take prisoners…
