MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries - The Dragons Gambit

If you're a fan of MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries and have already enjoyed DLCs like Rise of Rasalhague and Call to Arms, then The Dragon's Gambit is another exciting addition you won't want to miss. This premium downloadable content plunges you right into the heart of Draconis Combine politics, where you'll be working under Gunji no Kanrei Theodore Kurita as he prepares his faction for an impending major conflict.

Before you jump in, there's one important thing to remember: you absolutely need the base game, MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries, installed to play this DLC. It's not a standalone product but an expansion that builds upon the existing game world. Once you're set, you get access to a whole new campaign with 15 intense, high stakes missions. Your main job? To protect the Draconis Combine from the powerful FedCom Alliance, which is no small task.

The DLC introduces some cool new toys to play with. You'll get command of the "Otomo," the elite military unit central to this story, and get to pilot the new Longbow BattleMech, a powerful addition to any mercenary's arsenal. But it's not just about the story. The Dragon's Gambit also spices up the gameplay with a new Instant Action Team Combat Mode. This includes fresh ways to battle it out with modes like Garrisoned and Free For All, giving you more reasons to keep coming back for more mech on mech action.

All in all, The Dragon's Gambit is a solid expansion that adds significant value to the base game. With its engaging new storyline, challenging missions, powerful new Mech, and additional combat modes, it provides hours of extra entertainment for any mercenary commander. Just make sure you have the main game ready to go first!
