In some ways, a computer version like this has more chance of mitigating the structural problems with the BT universe and rules systems than a board game. A digital game can enforce some of the things that usually had to be negotiated among players with house rules, and in a solo campaign at least can certainly structure encounters so that sub-optimal situations are more the norm, and are winnable.
Then again, most RPG P&P systems are fundamentally flawed in similar ways. BattleTech/MechWarrior just suffers more acutely because of the somewhat awkward and imprecise melding of a miniatures tactical battle game with a RPG environment.
