Discover the grim dark universes of Warhammer where there is only war. From Warhammer 40,000 to Warhammer Fantasy and more - discover it all on GOG Warhammer Franchise page.
Take control of one of the most technologically advanced armies in the Imperium - The Adeptus Mechanicus. As Magos Dominus Faustinius, you’ll lead the expedition on the newly rediscovered Necron planet of Silva Tenebris. Customize your team, manage resources, discover long-forgotten tech, and control your Tech-Priests’ every move.
Your every decision will shape the missions ahead and ultimately decide the fate of the troops under your command in over 50 hand-crafted missions. Choose your path carefully - the Imperium depends on it.
Augment
Flesh is weak! Upgrade your Tech-Priests with weapons, support items, Servo-Skulls and other mechanical augments as you assemble your cohort. Customize your team’s disciplines, choosing from multiple character classes to create a squad for every playstyle.
Unique Tactical Combat
Engage in immersively strategic combat that will test your mettle under the extreme pressure of the xenos ambush. Access your most powerful weapons and abilities by using Cognition Points and advance on your enemy without pause. Fear not, the Omnissiah favours the brave.
The Library of Immersion
A compelling story written by Black Library author, Ben Counter, specifically crafted to fit the unique personality of the Adeptus Mechanicus faction, with each character having their own personalities and agendas. Feel the tension and admire the devotion with unique visual effects and breathtaking audio.
Difficult Decisions
Make tough decisions that will forge the future from your Ark Mechanicus, The Caestus Metalican, and send you towards alternate endings for a truly unique playthrough. Be warned, however, the more you explore each tomb, the greater the rewards but also greater the threat.
Canticles of the Omnissiah
Collect in-game achievements and be rewarded with strong abilities that can be used once per mission to aid you in the heat of battle.
This is a great experience for me. I was introduced to WH via the mobile game Tacticus, which I still play and enjoy.
Mechanicus has been an outstaning compliment to the lore and has also provided world expanding detail on the Adeptus.
If you have enjoyed X-Com, SC or WH table top - PLEASE give this one a try, Great exucution and storytelling.
If you try Tacticus (you should) please consider using my refer a friend code : RID -22-ICE
Sound, music and the overall feel just grabs you. The intro was masterful and I love how the characters can argue amongst themselves. Not hard to learn, but save often. Not overly complex or graphically amazing but very well thought out. Am impressed, which is not easy.
Let's be real: like all TBS games, comparisons with XCOM 2 are inevitable. Does Mechanicus live up to the golden standard? Well...mostly.
The good: peak 40K atmosphere. The members of the Adeptus Mechanicus are callous monsters with zero regards to life. Fittingly, the aliens tend to be more humane than the humans. Also, flamers are devastating. Don't sleep on them!
The meh: melee combat...exists. It is not particularly well developed, and I found it quite forgettable, when compared to the possibilities of ranged combat. Also, cover doesn't exist, and all weapons are always a guaranteed hit. XCOM 2 wouldn't be nowhere as memorable, without its 95% chance to hit (miss!).
The bad: everything revolves around cognition points. If you have them, then you can breeze through the battles with your strongest attacks. If you don't, then you won't be able to use even some basic attacks!
And then there are shields: for some reason, most enemies have shields to absorb part of the enery/physical damage inflicted to them. The issue? Shields are not consistent among enemy types, so what works for one might not work for another enemy of the same class.
Overall, I'd say that Mechanicus is a good game that could have aspired to be much more, were it not for some baffling gameplay decisions.
