oh yes what great fun playing this old classic i have had no bugs in all time playing.the devs are still working hard adding new free content "even adding pvp multiplayer" plays similar to xcom turn based tactics and mech building out of battles. the story and characters are fun .if your into mechs then this is a no brainer solid classic thumbs up .
