Warhammer 40,000: Mechanicus Reviews
The provision of deep customization capabilities and an engaging narrative makes Warhammer 40,000: Mechanicus a logical choice for aspiring tacticians of Holy Terra in M3.
The game's limited budget was well-hidden with intelligent creative decisions, making such gripes a non-issue. As such, Warhammer 40,000: Mechanicus proves itself as a spectacular breath of fresh air for the 40K franchise.
As it stands, Warhammer 40000 Mechanicus is the best Warhammer game on consoles (sorry Vermintide II). It comes with a great narrative penned by a good Black Library author, with strong gameplay to accomany it. The issues that plagued the original release such as lack of difficulty, replayability, and build variety have been all but fixed due to dedicated post-launch support from Bulwark Games.
One of the best entries in the Warhammer 40.000 universe. Mechanicus offers a fantastic story, an outstanding soundtrack, and a sick voyage into the dark future of mankind where only war can be found.

Warhammer 40.000: Mechanicus is surprising: it's extremely coherent with the setting created by Games Workshop, and the gameplay reflects the potential offered by the ability to command a cohort of the Adeptus Mechanicus. There are some undeniable flaws, but overall we are looking at a refreshing new take on the turn-based tactics genre.

Warhammer 40,000: Mechanicus redeems a long line of mediocre 40k games. As a turn-based combat RPG, it works on every level. The effect is only enhanced by excellent writing and incredible attention to detail.
The high amount of customization, the appealing story and narrative, as well as the deep turn-based strategy elements make Mechanicus a must-play title for all Warhammer and TBS genre fans.
Between a well built Turn Based Tactical System and a great exploration base that allows for quicker or longer play session, Bulwark Studios have created a solid experience with Mechanicus. Upping the ante somewhat is that I think Bulwark Studios may have also designed a Warhammer title to make even Robert happy!
Warhammer 40 000 is a great mix of TBS genre and Warhammer 40 000 Universe. Dungeon crawling in random maps, lots of customization and story makes this game one the best game in recent years.

A diet XCOM in a fascinating techno-cultist skin.

Warhammer 40,000: Mechanicus is an interesting entry into an increasingly saturated genre that manages to stand out on its own merits
Warhammer 40,000: Mechanicus successfully fuses deep and rewarding turn-based strategy with impressively flexible customisation and some truly excellent world-building.
As another varied entry in the expansive franchise, Warhammer 40,000: Mechanicus gives players a gloomy turn-based adventure with enough good ideas and personality to differentiate it from similar titles, while overcoming a few minor downfalls.
A capable expansion that adds to the main game without detracting from it
As it stands, Mechanicus is a really good 40k video game that comes just short of being a truly great one. With a bit more tweaking, we could be looking at a 40k title that would be up there with the original Dawn of War in terms of how fondly it is revered by fans of the IP.
A shameless love letter to tabletop Warhammer 40K fans, this is a game that gives back as good as it gets from the player.
Warhammer 40,000: Mechanicus for the PlayStation 4 offers the same experience that is rich in lore and replay value.
An excellent way to take this tactical game to Xbox One, PS4 and Nintendo Switch. The same game, but with some additions and a great plot to enjoy.

Excellent atmosphere, engaging turn-based battles and variety in terms of arsenal make Warhammer 40,000: Mechanicus a strategy game worth dipping into.
