### 1/5 — Why is this still on the store?

*2026-08-05, version 1.4.12.1*

This appears to be no longer compatible with iPhones, why is it still available for purchase? I can get the main menu to load but when I press play nothing happens. On the off chance anyone else is stupid enough to buy this in 2026 let this be a warning.

### 1/5 — Unresponsive

*2026-06-14, version 1.4.12.1*

Loads a menu screen with music and four buttons that do nothing. Support URL is 404. When I find out how to demand a refund I will do so.

### 1/5 — Does not work (Scam)

*2026-04-30, version 1.4.12.1*

Game is stuck on the main menu. Wish I could get a refund.

### 1/5 — Unable to play

*2026-03-08, version 1.4.12.1*

Downloaded to give this another run. However, found it unplayable. At start unable to hit “Play” at the launch selection section or anything else. This app needs updated.

### 1/5 — Broken and Unplayable

*2025-11-25, version 1.4.12.1*

The button you click to start playing the game does nothing. The only thing this app has is a splash screen of buttons that do nothing.

### 1/5 — App does not work on IPhone anymore.

*2025-11-08, version 1.4.12.1*

I tried loading the app on my iPhone 17 and all you get is the initial splash screen with the links to options play etc. but nothing works. The tech support off the app does not appear to be an active page.
This app needs to be taken out of the App Store.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2025-10-26, version 1.4.12.1*

Game screen opens, but clicking options, nothing happens. Just an intro screen

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2025-10-24, version 1.4.12.1*

Downloaded it, pressed ‘Play’ to start, but it doesn’t. None of the buttons that highlight do anything. Can’t go to Options, Miscellaneous, etc. Shame.

### 5/5 — It’s a great game buuuttt

*2025-02-24, version 1.4.12.1*

It hasn’t had a update in forever, crashes in final finished stuff often. 
Main problem is it was abandoned.
Concern is a better choice for battletech lovers. It was made by a battletech fan. 
Really wish the company would come back to update and fix this one.
It really is a great battletech game.

### 5/5 — BattleTech on iPad <3

*2024-05-01, version 1.4.12.1*

It’s a shame this game was abandoned by the developer, with no fixes or updates for years. It was actually great while it lasted!

### 5/5 — 5 баллов

*2019-05-04, version 1.4.12.1*

Мехкомандер мобайл в лучшем смысле этого слова. С удовольствием прошёл пару раз. Все что должно быть в мехкомандере тут есть. Ну разве что графику можно чуть поругать.

### 5/5 — Good

*2018-12-13, version 1.4.12.1*

Good game I like the story but it could be longer

### 5/5 — MechCommander on Mobile!

*2018-10-06, version 1.4.12.1*

Alright, let’s begin with how the game plays (on an IPhone SE, although this game is designed for IPad). To begin, since it isn’t ‘designed’ for phones, it plays perfectly on them. Which is awesome, MechCommander on the go, minus a few things that wouldn’t work on mobile devices on the sized maps given (which are quite nice) like the ability to capture bases and collect resources, so a timer is applied to those things instead, which you steadily unlock. The cutscenes are well done as well. Generally moving your mechs around works well, but the running animation looks a little derpy :). Attacking an enemy is done alright, however it makes using each pilot’s individual skill very difficult, and using the minimap to move around the map is a little jerky but generally unusable. The missions are relatively long, and the game has decent replay value (Although it can feel de-moralising to have to re-do a mission). Something else that would be fun would be incorporating a multiplayer mode, but I can’t see it happening 5 years after this games hay day. Anyway, the point I’m getting at is if you want a full-fledged mobile game which is also an RTS/love MechWarrior and MechCommander this I a fantastic game and is worth every cent, of you can get past a few bugs along the way!

### 5/5 — Good game in for the Battletech universe.

*2018-07-24, version 1.4.10.1*

Great game. Thanks for keeping it around with updates. Hopefully an extension for the game for more missions? Maybe a patch to make a more dynamic world?

### 5/5 — So what?

*2018-04-30, version 1.4.4*

This is a solid game.  Does it have bugs?  Some. So what?  Is the game fun?  You bet it is.  And it sticks to Canon.  You haters out there...I dunno...go watch some dragon ball Z or something.

### 5/5 — Happy

*2018-04-26, version 1.4.4*

I have played this through twice, lastly on my iPad mini 4. Great! Loved it!

### 5/5 — Nothing Wrong

*2017-04-03, version 1.4.4*

I, as a child, LOVED the mechwarrior games back then. But, this one is the only one the App Store so I figured I'd get it and I did. This game is great and easy. It might be a short game, but it is very fun. I do recommend you buy this game. I looked at the other reviews and how they said there were bugs, there aren't any. I'm playing this on my 5S with 10.0.2 and it plays as if nothing is wrong. This is all legitimate.

### 5/5 — Great flash back to a great storyline

*2017-01-02, version 1.4.4*

Thanks. Great game, and an even better nostalgic ride on the primary Battletech Universe story line.
