MechWarrior Online is a team-based online shooter about giant combat robots, made by Canada's Piranha Games in the BattleTech universe. You pilot a BattleMech in the wars over the Inner Sphere. On Steam the game is now listed as MechWarrior Online Legends.
Fights are separate matches on set maps. Quick Play mixes teams across several modes, while Faction Play has you bring four 'Mechs into longer battles that win or lose planets for your chosen faction. The real depth is in the mech bay: you buy machines with in-game currency, swap weapons and equipment, and unlock pilot skills. Monthly patches add events such as one-on-one and two-on-two Solaris duels.
It suits players who like measured tactical combat and tinkering with loadouts. Newcomers face a learning curve with maps and mech roles, and there is no Russian localisation.
