Mechanicus is one of the few games to fully take advantage of the Warhammer 40.000 franchise and it shows right from the introduction. The campaign is long and fun (supported by an incredible art direction and memorable soundtracks), with an interesting feature (it can be disabled) that sets the tone and urgency of the main quest: the player can play a limited amount of missions before the "Necron awakening meter" reaches 100% and closes all quest options with the exception of the final boss (the player will also have to fight all the Necron leaders still alive at this point). This forces the player to decide which quests are worth pursuing and which ones must be ignored, as weapons and equipments for the characters are rewarded at the end of each expedition. To access all missions players can either disable this feature or play multiple runs of the campaign, which also aids replayability. The only problem worth mentioning is the difficulty curve: played at the higher difficulties, the game is unforgiving in the first missions, only to turn trivial once the right equipments are obtained.

"From the moment I understood the weakness of my flesh… it disgusted me." The intro already tells you what to expect. Extremely atmospheric 40k game where you play as a bunch of techseeking "enthusiasts" from the Adeptus Mechanicus. Some speak funny, almost in pseudo-code language. The gameplay is turn-based and attacks automatically hit, but they can be absorbed by different types of armor (there's physical and energy damage). Certain weapons can destroy armor to make life easier for you. Protip: axes and melee builds are great. ++Turn based tactics. No hit chance calculation needed. [Alien lifeforms detected] Classification = Necron. ++Purging necessary. Necron discorporation = true [Skitarii lives] = lowest priority. [Sample retrieval] = highest priority. The Omnissiah knows all, comprehends all.

Listening to Magos Faustinius telling Subdomina Khepra that he hadn't excised his emotions when he attained the rank of Magos and therefore his subordinates' mission loss rate has been lower, all spoken in the W40K lingo, while the soundtrack's sonorous chorals and vibrant chimes echo through your speakers is nothing short of mindblowing. And yeah, it's pretty cool TTRPG, too. Don't you worry. Lot's of build customization; cool room-by-room dungeon clearing with the 'text adventures with outcomes', sort of similar to FTL jump-points; abundant lore; sinister plot. Cleanse the Xenos!

40k mechanicus is a great game marred by some questionable design and balance decisions. Its great base of turn based combat is constantly undercut by unclear design and conflicting systems. The beginning of the game is rough, even on normal, at least until you start to unlock your starting Skitarii units. Most enemies for the duration of the game primarily attack you from range while there is little to no cover in most levels. This leads to you having your ass completely shot out from under you for most of the beginning of the game. Even when there is cover there is absolutely no way of seeing what is and isnt cover. Things that may look big enough to take cover behind end up being completely useless so you really just have to remember what pieces of level geometry/assets are and arent cover. This could be almost completely fixed if the game had a feature similar to XCOM EU and XCOM 2 where it showed what was considered non cover, half and full cover. Even after you get further into the game and unlock more Skitarii units to bring with you most of the game outside of melee combat involves moving out of what little cover there is, firing, and moving back. What ends up happening is sometimes you will have 4-5 units all stacked up on the same 1x1 tile of cover playing angles which doesnt so much feel like strategy as it does breaking the design of the game. All in all 40k Mechanicus is a turn based strategy game with amazing music, visuals and SFX marred by some confusing mechanic design and level design decisions. It also suffers from a general feeling that this was their first try at making a turn based game and HOPEFULLY these systems will be improved upon and fixed in its upcoming sequel Buy on sale

Objective interpretation, hardware report, and total game progress Warhammer 40,000 Mechanicus is an isometric turn based tactical game. The game was ran on two different systems, which included an Intel 9900k/Nvidia 2080 super, and an Intel 13900k/Nvidia 4090. No system crashes occurred and zero crashes to desktop noted. Three playthroughs were completed with DLC enabled and steam achievement perfection was attained. 6/10 score and steam review template is posted below the subjective interpretation Subjective interpretation This was an intriguing gaming experience as it is set in a fictitious sci-fi fantasy universe that I absolutely adore. The flavor of the lore for this product was spot on; furthermore, this is supported by a compelling narrative and magnificent acoustical design. I admit bias in these regards; nevertheless, I will be critical of this product as it disappointed me in the actual game aspect. The graphics are simplistic and the identification icons are inanimate 2d illustrations. Nothing graphically remarkable about this game, even for the time period of release, but the art design works at projecting the actual art form that is being expressed. The game plays very well, and I did not encounter a single bug, however, even on the hardest of settings this game is quite trivial in difficulty. One who is an experienced gamer will find this game astoundingly easy, and this problem is compounded in magnitude by the significant length of a play through in this title. Damnation upon the length of this game! These two issues combine into a tedious slog that the player has to endure if they wish to complete the game. This was extremely boring and the game play failed to entertain me, although, the other aspects of the game fortified my will for this endeavor. The story caught my interest as it was complex, multifaceted, logical, and emotive. It simply was intriguing and maintained my interest. The story was also supported by possibly the best audio I've ever experienced in a video game. The sound profile could be described as some sort of liturgical dub step. It fits the setting so well and influences my perception of the story. At times I was questioning the moral alignment of the faction the player must play as. I felt as if I was directing an antagonistic force. I was the bad guy in those moments. Such a profound acoustical influence transforms the narrative from something mundane into a distinctive curiosity; one in which I shall always cherish. I don't recommend buying this game at full price. 50% off or more would be a fair price point for this title at the current time of this review and be mindful that if you're a gameplay based gamer, and less holistic in appreciation; other titles in this genre will suit your preferences far better than this game. ---{ Graphics }--- ☐ You forget what reality is ☐ Beautiful ☐ Good ☑ Decent ☐ Bad ☐ Don‘t look too long at it ☐ MS-DOS ---{ Gameplay }--- ☐ Very good ☑ Good ☐ It's just gameplay ☐ Mehh ☐ Watch paint dry instead ☐ Just don't ---{ Audio }--- ☑ Eargasm ☐ Very good ☐ Good ☐ Not too bad ☐ Bad ☐ I'm now deaf ---{ Audience }--- ☐ Kids ☐ Teens ☑ Adults ☐ Grandma ---{ PC Requirements }--- ☐ Check if you can run paint ☑ Potato ☐ Decent ☐ Fast ☐ Rich boi ☐ Ask NASA if they have a spare computer ---{ Game Size }--- ☐ Floppy Disk ☑ Old Fashioned ☐ Workable ☐ Big ☐ Will eat 10% of your 1TB hard drive ☐ You will want an entire hard drive to hold it ☐ You will need to invest in a black hole to hold all the data ---{ Difficulty }--- ☐ Just press 'W' ☑ Easy ☐ Easy to learn / Hard to master ☐ Significant brain usage ☐ Difficult ☐ Dark Souls ---{ Grind }--- ☐ Nothing to grind ☐ Only if u care about leaderboards/ranks ☐ Isn't necessary to progress ☐ Average grind level ☑ Too much grind ☐ You'll need a second life for grinding ---{ Story }--- ☐ No Story ☐ Some lore ☐ Average ☑ Good ☐ Lovely ☐ It'll replace your life ---{ Game Time }--- ☐ Long enough for a cup of coffee ☐ Short ☐ Average ☑ Long ☐ To infinity and beyond ---{ Price }--- ☐ It's free! ☐ Worth the price ☑ If it's on sale ☐ If u have some spare money left ☐ Not recommended ☐ You could also just burn your money ---{ Bugs }--- ☑ Never heard of ☐ Minor bugs ☐ Can get annoying ☐ ARK: Survival Evolved ☐ The game itself is a big terrarium for bugs ---{ 6 / 10 }--- ☐ 1 ☐ 2 ☐ 3 ☐ 4 ☐ 5 ☑ 6 ☐ 7 ☐ 8 ☐ 9 ☐ 10
