You earn these by defeating enemies or using tech-priests to harvest them across the map, letting you use stronger weapons, extra movement, and certain abilities. Additionally, you’ll have to manage cognition points which is a shared resource across your squad. You can play a mission, put it down, and come back later nice and quickly. Combat is faster with no cover system and smaller map sizes, making battles quicker and more cutthroat, and also works well for the mobile platform. Yes, it may seem pretty unoriginal on the surface, but a few key differences do help Mechanicus stand out in some areas. On the flip side, the gameplay has more depth than I expected. It adds a little flavour and context to the world that goes a long way in making the world interesting, but it’s still pretty bare unless you really enjoy the lore of Warhammer 40K Although it’s certainly more interesting than some other games using this IP, so that’s a bonus. Dialogue is often laced with references and lore from the Warhammer universe, with discussions between the commanding tech-priests showing this best, mixing in the commanding tech-priests arguments, conflicts of interest and lore throughout the game. In Mechanicus ’ case, dialogue, worldbuilding and some lore do a lot of the work and admittedly it does it pretty well. Aside from that, it’s the typical Warhammer schtick: Broody, grim and dark - all the usual factors you see in the Warhammer IP. A cult-like faction within the Imperium of Man, they are devoted entirely to knowledge and advanced machinery who after arriving on an alien world, learn of an awakening Necron force that you now must purge before the planet is lost. You are in the commanding seat of a group of Tech-Priests. Much like other Warhammer games I’ve reviewed, Warhammer 40K: Mechanicus’ plot isn’t its strongest feature, serving more as a backdrop rather than a fully developed story. This is a shame because the game is pretty stellar. But after playing this version, I feel like I got a lesser quality experience than its PC and Console counterparts. When I had the chance to play the mobile port of Warhammer 40K: Mechanicus, I jumped at the chance. Having now played the miniature’s, video games and a few spin-offs, I feel fairly qualified to talk about these games and the IP. Yes, I’m reviewing another Warhammer game.
