Yeah same basic idea, you've got a team of models against someone else's. It's WAY cheaper and friendly IMO though. Instead of 50-200 models on the table you've got like 6 max, usually 4. Big stompy robots jumping over hills, blasting each other, overheating and falling over, clubbing one another with their own leg, that sort of thing.

It's got a lot more elements of historical wargames in practice than Warhammer.

Hell yeah is right! The game is full of "hell yeah" haha. It's got a really solid, versatile core ruleset, too, so you can play it however you want to. The lore covers a few centuries, generally speaking the later on the better the tech is and more complex the game gets. But there's stuff like the Clan Invasion where you've got really asymmetrical forces (2 Inner Sphere Lances vs a Clan Star vs a ComStar Level II or whatever), or earlier during the Succession Wars where the tech level cap is pretty low and you've basically just got a really neat way to play chess

They also totally encourage kitbashing, proxies, 3D printing, and any other way you want to have fun with Your Dudes.
