Warhammer 40,000: Mechanicus Reviews

Incredible game with insanely good OST! Some missions can take quite some time to complete and once you get your build/strategy going the game becomes mostly trivial. However the gameplay, graphics and OST make even slog-ish missions highly enjoyable. Bosses are unique and memorable, each of them require different approach (but still, even with mediocre build they are quite easy). Overall I highly recommend this game! ... for the Machine is immortal. Even in death I serve the Omnissiah!

Mixed feelings on this one. On the one hand, I like Adeptus Mechanicus (sotr of), and the game introduces this faction very well. It is atmospheric, the music is good, and I like turn-based combat, so those all worked for me. The awakeining countdown, on the other hand, was not enjoyable at all. I learnt to manage it, but being able to deal with something does not necessarily make it more appealing. I would have preferred to explore at leisure. Maybe if they wanted to create a sense of urgency, they should have just made it impossible to save while exploring. In battles, maps with force-field walls caused extra irritation when for instance they separated my team and the enemies for an entire round (once my team ended locked in a pen for the whole round). Way to extend the battle time without doing - or allowing me to do - anything substantial. Who thought that was a good idea?! My greatest complaint is about repetiteveness, though. Too few maps for so many missions. I did 45, and because of the lack variety the latter half of the game felt like a chore. Ultimately I would recommend it, but maybe wait for a sale.

Actually one of my favorite games. The atmosphere is perfect, the gameplay is fun and challenging with rogue-like elements to make each play-through feel different, and the ost makes my knees weak. It's worth full price, absolutely.

Now, in itself a Mechanicus game sounds awesome. And you can indeed make your Tech priests cool overpowered murder machines... in which lies one of the problems. You become way too overpowered way too quickly, so fights mostly being tedious because it's just about cleaning up enemies without any real threat. Then there is the second problem, the exploration aspect is straight up bad. You get random events where you just have to do random choices that might reward or punish you with little indication what is what. Customisation meanwhile is... okay, it's not bad but it most certainly is no Troubleshooters either (then again, few games are)..

Amazing art, fantastic music, spectacular sound design, and great game play. At this rate I'll run out of positive synonyms to describe it.

Absolutely fantastic turn based Warhammer 40k rpg! Starts off very difficult but quickly becomes more manageable once you unlock a few things. Highly recommended for any fans of the genre.

Solid TBS XCOM like. Once you get a good understanding the difficulty is pretty easy as your units can get very overpowered, but they game allows you to adjust setting to make it harder then standard presets. However I find it nice to slowly ramp yourself up to asskicking muderbots. Def worth a grab on sale if your a fan of XCOM games. Looking forward to the sequel due out 2025

Really wanted to like this game but I just can't get into it. Either I'm just that bad or something isn't clicking for me. The tombs always wake up way to fast. I low roll on every attack shot. In the short amount of time I played, the game failed to leave an impression on me that made me wanna push through the early game bs. Yeah I'm aware that probably after mission 100 you finally start doing damage and winning but dude I don't have the fucking patience or time for that. Its a well designed game and they did a good job on it but I can't get into it.

10/10 soundtrack, the ost is what got me into the game. Otherwise, the gameplay can feel repetitive if you're not into these types of games. Lots of customisation, weapons and augments to choose from. Solid game, 9/10.

The beginning few hours were horrible and it is quite possibly my fault for not understanding the game well enough. After a few tries you start to click with the game play and being more strategic with your moves, making the game much more enjoyable. I would not recommend this game for someone who is not into 40K but if you are even mildly interested you will have fun. I wish the game had animated cut scenes as a lot of the game looks and feels like it was made for cell phones
