Unlikely as development is done and developer has moved on.

Neither was Stellaris or Crusader kings......

Some people like to lay in bed or on a couch and play these games. In these cases keyboard and mouse is inconvenient. Some times it's convenience. Sometimes it's physical disabilities. I can understand it. Don't judge people.

Maybe but Hurtfulplayer97 is on the money

Not judging people, judging games. Some games just don't seem to fit well with controllers. Just like some games are really lousy with keyboard/mouse & better with controller.


(I've used both m+k computers & consoles for decades. I've long categorized games, in my head, into "computer" and "console" games. I honestly can't imagine playing this game with a controller. But, hey, I also can't see how anyone can play FPS's fast & accurate with a controller, yet they do. :D)

Agreed. Nothing at all about judging people. I too head sort games like that. This one doesn't seem at all like a consoler. The recent MW5 ones do

The game would work perfectly fine with a controller as it is, a lot better actually than all the FPS that have to come standard with autoaim crutches just to make them work.

I'm half expecting it to turn up on the Switch someday. Everything else is.

Back in the 90s they released C&C 95 on N64. If folks could beat an RTS using an N64 controller I’m sure they could play a turn based tactics game using an Xbox/Playstation controller. Not like this game needs quick reaction time as it gives you all the time in the world to make your move.

That being said I do not think this game will ever be ported to consoles because they finished work on it years ago.

"Will this ever release on ps5?"

-LMAO!!!!...no sorry, my bet is in a Battltech 2 in the future (or even a mech commander revival), done by someone that is not HBS, because they dont know how to make turn-based RPG fun.

Hey, no bashing the N64 controller, I loved it, and it's the only controller ever I had actually fun playing shooter games (Golden Eye, Duke, Doom) with. The way you actually moved with your right thumb on the 4 c-keys while the left-thumb aim-stick was perfectly aligned with the trigger, it just felt great.

And yeah, tried C&C back then as well, and it was horrid, but as you say, BT is turn-based, less units to control, and no group-select, should be no problem really with a controller.

But development is finished, the devs gone, the publisher and owner not interested, and porting it to console would definetly need quite some work, it's basically impossible.

I don't care if they are bad at turn-based RPGs (actually they aren't, >>Shadowrun), as long as they are good at turn-based Tactical games about big stompy robots.

And imho, they were good at that, they delivered a great game, and gave the community the mod tools to make it an epic one.

Well the RPG element in this game is so small as to be nothing. overall its a good turn based mech game

as for not making fun turn based tactical games you didnt play the Shadowrun games then?

as for the thread o/p dont be silly this is a 2018 release and the publisher has no interest in releasing this on any more platforms!.
