From the moment I understood the weakness of my flesh, it disgusted me. I craved the strength and certainty of steel. I aspired to the purity of the blessed machine.

Your kind cling to your flesh as if it will not decay and fail you.

One day the crude biomass that you called a temple will wither and you'll beg my kind to save you.
But I am already saved. For the machine is immortal. Even in death I serve the Omnissiah.

"From the moment I understood the weakness of my flesh. It disgusted me" Couldn't skip this part every time I lunched the game...
Soundtrack of this game is just brilliant, gameplay is diffucult at the beginning but after maxing out 2 tech priest it's getting pretty easy.

40k mechanicus is a great game marred by some questionable design and balance decisions. Its great base of turn based combat is constantly undercut by unclear design and conflicting systems. The beginning of the game is rough, even on normal, at least until you start to unlock your starting Skitarii units. Most enemies for the duration of the game primarily attack you from range while there is little to no cover in most levels. This leads to you having your ass completely shot out from under you for most of the beginning of the game. Even when there is cover it there is absolutely no way of seeing what is and isnt cover. Things that may look big enough to take cover behind end up being completely useless so you really just have to remember what pieces of level geometry/assets are and arent cover. This could be almost completely fixed if the game had a feature similar to XCOM EU and XCOM 2 where it showed what was considered non cover, half and full cover. Even after you get further into the game and unlock more Skitarii units to bring with you most of the game outside of melee combat involves moving out of what little cover there is, firing, and moving back. What ends up happening is sometimes you will have 4-5 units all stacked up on the same 1x1 tile of cover playing angles which doesnt so much feel like strategy as it does breaking the design of the game.

All in all 40k Mechanicus is a turn based strategy game with amazing music, visuals and SFX marred by some confusing mechanic design and level design decisions. It also suffers from a general feeling that this was their first try at making a turn based game and HOPEFULLY these systems will be improved upon and fixed in its upcoming sequel

From the moment I understood the weakness of my brain... Look I need to go to bed, Mechanicus is a great little RTS, It got tiny little necrons and servitors, sprinkled with a little random, a great, and different soundtrack, ... also it is Bleeping evil....
Above Medium ++

This is a fantastic standalone alone game or as a 40k Game. The soundtrack, music, and sound effects are among the best I have ever heard. I have never experienced another medium that got the ambiance of the Adepetus Mechanicus so well, the mix of seeking knowledge and the danger that comes with it. The game is very customizable through its setting, and is full of balancing choices e.g. speed vs loot, risk vs speed, battle vs war. There is a degree of randomness in the upgrades and missions, so I have replayed it several times, and it does it a bit grindy late game, but still very rewarding.
I highly recommend it

Yeah, this game is pretty fun. Really easy to pick up and play for a half-hour at a time and put down to go do something else. Highly recommend playing with a good pair of headphones, and you'll find out why after playing the first mission.

game good, praise the omnissiah
