I expected a mildly entertaining Xcom clone in the skin of a medicore done Warhammer 40k story. Goog god, i couldn't have been more wrong.
   
   Let's start with the most important thing first....the tech adepts actually SPEAK THE CHANT MECHANICUM *nerd gasm*.
   
   Ok, now that we got that one out of the way:
   
   - the story was written by Ben Counter who is one of the better writers in the Black Library. So you can expect a solid story and no lore breaking nonsens.
   - interessting characters that react different to your decision
   - the game is Xcomish, but has more than enough good mechanics to stand on it's own. (the CP system is imo short of brilliant)
   - really neat soundtrack that compliments the overall atmosphere of the game… Expand

The graphics are pretty good, the gameplay/combat are excellent and the immersion is fantastic. But the star of the show is the sound department, with absolutely superb music and voice acting for the characters. An incredible game overall!… Expand

То, как они передали атмосферу - это во истину круто, я никогда такого не видел. В плане атмосферы, эта игра является лучшем воплощением вахи за долгие годы.
   Игра имеет крайне малый бюджет и её разрабатывала довольно малая студия, что иногда даёт о себе знать, но в целом, добиться такого, с учётом 2х этих фактов, нереально сложно, я искренне надеюсь, что мы увидим ещё 1 игру по вахе от этих разработчиков.… Expand

   Music and voices made this game ultra epic atmosphere. And I felt some aethetic pleasure playing it.

   It's not a bad game. you will enjoy it specially if you are a die hard fan of the Turn-based strategy games . but don't be fooled by thinkingIt's not a bad game. you will enjoy it specially if you are a die hard fan of the Turn-based strategy games . but don't be fooled by thinking it's another Xcom. the biggest problem is very low budget spent on this game and it shows everywhere. it has very little voice acting, no cut scenes, very simple graphics, animation and etcetera. another problem is at least for me it was too easy. it needs to present a little bit more challenge. overall I recommend it but don't have huge expectations. it's just a small game from a small indie game dev studio.… Expand

   The turn-based strategy genre blows my mind (XCOM super fan) and this Mechanicus does not disappoint. He has good ideas, his own personalityThe turn-based strategy genre blows my mind (XCOM super fan) and this Mechanicus does not disappoint. He has good ideas, his own personality and I love how it reflects 40k.
   
   First of all, the story is nothing special, but the conversations of the subdominus are entertaining. In addition, the setting is so well achieved that everything around you helps to get you into the world of 40k.
   
   In the other hand, combat mechanics are good. You have different disciplines for each techpriest with a lot of options and Augment equipment for your characters, Additionally, you can discover guns or some objects in your run through the tombs, that you can equipt later.
   
   With all of that in combat u can do a lot of actions, depending on your wepons, equipment and discipline of your techpriest. This disciplines have different passives for each character, and let you do some different actions in combat like buff damage for your wepons or more deffense for your team.
   
   Additionally, you can have troops too, which I find very interesting and without a doubt a great success, cause they add more strategy to the game. They can be uplocked in missions, and in the same way u can upgrade them through the game. We have different types of this troops and with more game difficult, the more you need to choose wisely this characters and know when to use them.
   
   They way you can get weapons, or upgrades for your troops, is doing missions for the subdominus, a mechanic so gratefull cause u can choose what mission, and for who, u want to do, with differents regards that can change entire game for you in the next battle.
   
   The awakening mechanic is also interesting. It gives you a purpose with a time limit that is in line with your mission and adds a plus of difficulty to the game in general.
   
   Like i said, i loved this game, and his try to not simply copy/paste the XCOM franchise. Developers tried here to give his own personality and they did it. Game is so fun and you have to learn things to play good in this 40k world.

The game was clearly designed for theThis is yet another result of Games Workshop throwing their licensing to the wind for maximum profits. The game was clearly designed for the mobile market and yanked into the PC market at the last moment. Every aspect of Mechanicus feels "mobile" and unpolished, the graphics, voice acting, dialogue, and gameplay. The lore desecration definitely felt like claws on a chalkboard.
   
   Developed by Bulwark Studios, a company famous for something called Crowntakers and a couple of unreleased games. So, another unknown/indie developer spitting out a WH40K title with a development time of less than a year, with the knowledge that WH40K fans will lap it up, making them a tidy profit.… Expand
