A couple more hints:

"Beast" is part of the title.

It was a PC game released in the 90s with LAN and internet multiplayer support.

So much nostalgia... no name though.
Anything beyond this would just be guessing words.

It's Battle Beast, we got that game with our first IBM. The version I have has unplayable input lag though, which is too bad because I love how it looks.

No clue about the specific game, but those robot sprites next to the character portraits sure look like Batteltech Mechs...

Empath's got it. The pilot responses are all great, and I love the tiny unnecessary videos from inside the cockpit.
