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.
The game sports really nice aesthetics of Adeptus Mechanicus- the Noosphere track, the art direction, the little pieces of story..
The game starts out challenging, but once you really start snowballing with all the new powers and weapons, the game turns into pur power fantasy, with the only thing really posed to challange you being ticking clock mechanic, forcing you to make haste to your next objetive.
I can reccomend this to anyone, who liked the new XCOM games and/or wanted game that gives this particular faction of Warhammer 40k universe attention it deserves.
Graphics-ok, Music/Sound-phenomenal, Gameplay-Great, Story/Lore-Great.
The only thing you will see people complain about is the game balance being a bit off lategame. The devs obviously tried to give the players a lot of freedom in how they spec their characters and that resulted in the nerds finding broken builds and then complaining about it. But if you're new to TurnBasedStrategy, or you just play the game just for fun, you will have a great time.
Overall a fantastic little gem that shows what good management and a great vision can accomplish. While the budget clearly wasn't there, the talent was and they made a GOOD GAME, something sorely needed in the 40k-game space. Well done.
Hopefully someone notices and gives these guys bigger 40k projects. Cheers.
Like many on here, I bought this game after watching MandaloreGaming's review. Well worth it! This is not a high budget title, but the team has clearly put a lot of effort into presentation and making sure the entire experience captures the creepy, gothic universe of 40k. The character writing is very clever, and the entire game, from the interfaces to the spectacular soundtrack, just oozes atmosphere.
There's a lot to like here, both for newcomers and fans of the Warhammer 40,000 universe. The game pitches you into the deep end with one of the weirder factions, the Tech Priests of Mars, but manages to make who they are and how they operate very clear. For die-hards, there are a lot of great references and nods to other elements of the fluff, delving in to the different factions and philosophies of the tech priests, and referencing setting material as old and obscure as the original "Inquisitor" skirmish game!
The only con I'd give the game is that the default difficulty setting is a little on the easy side. While the first few missions can be enjoyably tense, once you've leveled a few of your Tech Priests up you can start exterminating xenos with ease. I'd recommend X-Com veterans crank up the difficulty and turn on permadeath for their first play through. Still, all in all the game presents you with a lot of interesting tactical choices, and as your team gains experience and unique equipment they
I've always been aware of the existence of the fabled yet elusive Warhammer 40k games. Many years ago, I've listen to Space Marine's soundtrack and I knew people who played the tabletop, but I never had a proper introduction to the world. This was it for me, it started with the soundtrack so distinct from what I imagined anything W40k would sound like. It was sold to me as big men with massive shoulder pads fighting in even bigger cathedrals; I had no idea about the Adeptus Mechanicus. I fell in love with their mechanized look that removes almost anything that makes them human (although a lot of them are clearly human). I decided to make my move and buy the game. Granted I've not played much, but what I've played it is enough to tell me that I love this game like have not played one in many years. Everyone is Cyberpunk 2077 and here I'm replacing my limbs with laser guns.
I feel like I'm doing awfully at the game most of the time, however, there is a great feeling of accomplishment in upgrading my Magos and discovering more and more of how the worshipping of the Omnissiah works.
I've been converted, take me, make one with the machines.
I received a discount code from GOG for 70% off this game, and I'm glad I took advantage of it!
This game has great atmosphere, adheres to Warhammer 40k canon, and is addictive.
There's a learning curve, and the first game or 2 may result in abject failure, as mine did; however, I recommend playing through blind before reading any strategy guides or watching any lets plays, because you'll learn quite a bit and have a great time, even if you're failing.
It requires you to pay attention to small details, and it pays to take your time and move in slow, deliberate steps when playing battles and when upgrading characters. Focusing on the rewards for missions is important, as some of the items you can earn early on will likely remain a standard for much of the game.
I like how much attention was paid to the rules of Warhammer 40k tabletop, as it almost feels like I'm playing it, except for the layout of the turns, which is apparently based on speed or initiative - it isn't explained what criteria is used for who goes first, except when the Necrons awaken to always go first.
I especially like that it isn't another X-COM clone, as: cover doesn't exist, and only line of sight is observed; there is no percentage to hit, only a range of damage, which is subtracted from the target's armor; and the opportunity melee attack when enemies move away from melee range.
I would buy this game at full price and not regret it. I only wish the manual was included, if it has one; a game this in depth should have a large manual to explain the mechanics.
