- If the idea of a future with cyborgs and robots battling each other interests you, and you don’t mind a bit of a learning curve, then Warhammer 40,000: Mechanicus is probably for you. There were times where battles felt long and drawn out and even a bit slow. A few times, battles felt overwhelmingly difficult.
Heath Shusterman-Zimmerman · Aug 20, 2020 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - Warhammer 40,000: Mechanicus is incredibly intriguing and draws in the player with its world-building and tone. The art and music provide just enough to pique one's interest, but as a game, Mechanicus leaves a lot to be desired. I makes itself into such a cookie-cutter experience that progression doesn't feel rewarding, and it reduces the battles to pauses in narrative progression.
Joseph Doyle · Aug 18, 2020 Reviewed on PS4Read full review - There’s a solid game in Warhammer 40,000: Mechanicus, even if it’s not an environment I don’t want to spend any more time in. If you’re in the mood for a little sci-fi strategy and are cool with a game featuring heavy doses of faux-religion, then be sure to enlist in the Mechanicus army.
Donald Theriault · Aug 15, 2020 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - Warhammer 40,000: Mechanicus fits right in with the Warhammer 40K universe, and fans of the series would do well to give the game a shot. This is a franchise that is steeped in lore, though knowledge of the story is not a requirement to enjoy the tactical turn-based action on offer here.
Paulmichael Contreras · Jul 24, 2020 Reviewed on PS4Read full review - As I mentioned earlier I’ve played everything Warhammer from the Xbox 360 on and I can recommend most of them, but this is the first title I can recommend for both Warhammer enthusiasts and novices alike, as there’s enough story and lore content and plenty of interesting and challenging gameplay to satisfy both groups.
Rob Turnbull · Jul 22, 2020 Reviewed on XB1Read full review - Combat and customization is truly a unique experience, and something you won't be able to find in modern contemporaries done quite this way. The rest of it - the setting,the story, the repetitive encounters, the sketchy performance issues - may not be enough to hold you through an entire run.
Jarrett Green · Jul 22, 2020 Reviewed on Switch - Warhammer 40,000: Mechanicus successfully fuses deep and rewarding turn-based strategy with impressively flexible customisation and some truly excellent world-building. Changes and updates made to the game's difficulty have put paid to most of the main criticisms of the original release's combat balance issues and this Switch port also performs impressively in both docked and handheld modes.
PJ O'Reilly · Jul 17, 2020 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - Warhammer 40,000: Mechanicus is a good game, once you take some time to learn strategy and tactics. The upgrades to your Priests also help a lot in the middle to late game, so although it starts out tough things get better over time.
Patrick Anderson · Jul 17, 2020 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - Warhammer 40,000: Mechanicus is a great game that I will always recommend to anyone. It’s a novel spin on the whole tactical RPG genre, and it’s a breath of fresh air as far as 40K games are concerned. Now, if only the studio got to remake Chaos Gate…
Martynas Klimas · Apr 16, 2019 Reviewed on PC - Warhammer 40,000: Mechanicus is a rare exception to the iconic tabletop game’s line-up of video game offerings. The combat is engaging, the visuals are striking and, most importantly, it’s a blast to play. Its attempts to diversify itself from other examples of the genre don’t always land, but it’s a solid RTS that’s as deeply addictive as it is ruthlessly entertaining.
