I admit that I have never played anything Warhammer or Games Workshop but it has always piqued my interest whenever I see it and after spotting Mechanicus on Youtube and perusing other Warhammer games on GOG, I can say Mechanicus is Quality. I also finished it and included a small treat at the end of this review. The graphics were phenomenal though I rarely checked out the obligatory game-pieces display view during combat. It all created the atmosphere WH40k wants to create, I assume. I loved the story, characters and the diverging story arcs of Videx and Scaevola. The music was top notch and downloaded before I even bought Mechanicus. Children of the Omnissiah is my favorite and usually on repeat when ever I am being creative. Like right now. The gameplay was functional although the cognitive system was strange. I mean, why does learning the Necrons like Nutella on their biscuits instead of butter allow me to move or fire my gun. That's what I imagine whenever the Tech-Priests say, "Fascinating." The game is easy as hell. Other's remarking about terrible difficulty did not read the descriptions of the Discipline abilities. Hint: get some of the basic abilities but specialize in Tech-Auxilium for those Canticles and the ability to complete missions in ZERO turns. Bugs/Features -Any ability with a "Use" submenu can be used infinitely, as long as you have the Cognition for it, like Overcharged Cognition. This requires 2 abilities with the submenu and that one remains unused and selectable. Simply use the ability you want to overpower, tap the unused or dummy ability and QUICKLY mouse over the OP ability. If it worked, the description for the used one should be displayed. If not, cancel, try again. I spotted the bug early but only learned to replicate it as a feature in the late game. -Dom/Exp give discounts for each others Amps for -2 Cognition. 4th time beating Szaregon https://www.dropbox.com/s/qrhv6e8cfbu5pct/Screenshot%20%2818%29.png?dl=0
