Description
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.
Heretek is the expansion to the critically acclaimed tactical turn-based Warhammer 40,000: Mechanicus. Opening a whole new plot line, Heretek exposes the dark underbelly of the Adeptus Mechanicus faction like never before. Brand new narrative events have been handcrafted once again by Ben Counter, allowing players to uncover what has brought civil unrest to The Caestus Metalican during its campaign at Silva Tenebris. Take on frighteningly familiar foes, a cohort of heretek Tech-Priests that have changed their beliefs and forsaken the name of the Omnissiah. Can you, Magos Dominus Faustinius manage both an assault on the Necrons while being corrupted from within?
Features:
New Discipline to utilise: Unlock the Xenarite. A discipline that is specialised in using xenotech, a largely forbidden practice for those that follow the Omnissiah! Plus all new augments for you to customise the appearance of your Tech-Priest.
5 new missions: Experience five new missions based in the Ark Mechanicus, each with a new delivery system for narrative. The choices you make will impact the battle for that mission.
New weapons to discover: Xeno-altered weapons open up devastating possibilities, coupled with support tech that opens up new play styles.
Two new Troops to command: Sicarian Infiltrators and Ruststalkers are now available to unlock. Pass through Necron and Heretek limbs alike with the Transonic Blades of the Ruststalker or take the stealthy route with the Infiltrators and spring an unexpected ambush.
New but familiar enemies to face: Face your fellow brother Tech-Priests in an internal conflict over Necron xenotech while also holding back the wakening of the Necrons.
New mission environment: Experience combat inside an Ark Mechanicus for the first time in Warhammer 40,000 history.
I bought this expansion on sale after thoroughly enjoy Mechanicus, but even for the sale price, this is not worth it at all.
There is no new campaign, there are some new missions and battle maps and one new skill tree. In total this amounts to roughly 15 % of extra content to the original game. This should have been an update, not an expansion!
Just to give you the idea - the entire expansion is an exe file of 6 mb.
This DLC is locked behind internet activation. Don't bother buying if you do not want to use GoG Galaxy.
Otherwise, as per GoG critique guidelines, I rate purely on content and it is great.
The new maps and missions on the Caestius(sp?) Metalicus add some much required difficulty. The new gear greatly improve on the somewhat bland arsenal and I welcome the new Xenarite skill pool. The new armor on the other hand still seems to follow the same extremely restrictive guidelines that I can not fathom.
The new class is inherently a risk\reward archetype where you gamble health for damage; but you aren't given a lot of damage for your risk. It does however add one of the best skills in the game at level 1 which is quite weird.
The campaign is fun, but the price is too high and the content could use some more thought put into it.
Ok so I had heard that the atmosphere in this game was great but until you put some headphones on and hear it for yourself you will not understand.
A++ in the sound department and the OST is amazing and I've been listening to it while writing for my D&D campaign. Unf unf, it's fantastic.
Graphics aren't bad but that DOF is annoying. Thankfully it's got great art direction like many higher quality 40k games do.
Overall if you like turn based strategy and 40k, pick this up you likely won't regret it!
