Has anyone purchased/played MechWarrior: Tactical Command for iOS?

I have it. It's like a dumbed down version of Mechcommander. Fun, if you are connected to a power source, because it eats battery like it's the last piece of food on earth.

I did not play many missions, I'd have to ask my brother for more details. It does not seem very buggy.

I was interested, but the reviews were pretty bad last time I looked. The fact that the most recent patch note talks about adding support for iOS 7 and the iPhone 5s also doesn't bode well for active development on the game - both are well over a year old.

How did they get the license to do this?

It is very buggy, and it is very dumbed down. You don't really do anything but move the mechs around.

I played two missions and was done. It is also very very boring.

Finished it years ago pretty decent game for the time

Buggy as hell and kills the battery on my iPad mini retina like there is no tomorrow. Although it is a good time waster and somewhat fun.
