“A spectacular turn-based game that is completely centered around two of the coolest factions in Warhammer: 40,000... the Mechanicus and the Necrons. Great gameplay, amazing soundtrack, and the voices they gave to the…”
“Phenomenal music as people point out when introducing this game, maybe even the best out of all the other ones. Sound design is also great from the weapons and per character dialogue as good examples. Gameplay system is…”
“This is quite simply the best 40k game on the market. I've played virtually all of them, none come close. Fun, atmospheric, tense, exciting, good characters, beautiful art, S-tier music. There's nothing about this game…”

“Absoulte Peak, a genuine contender for top 5 40k games, if not top 3. Art direction, sound design, animations, are all amazing. Utterly standout soundtrack. Excellent difficulty customisation (which is greatly…”

“I haven't even finished the tutorial but this game has the hardest intro cutscene of all time to the degree that it's a must buy regardless of anything else (but I hear game is pretty good anyway)”

“Great game. really fun, especially if your hyperfixated on adeptus mechanicus. few bugs, and could be a bit better at infererence to the player through UI. OST is amazing! could do with a few more tracks. Helps to…”

“So, about pros of this game: -As a WH 40K fan it is a pleasure to finaly play as someone who isn't Astartes and against someone who isn't orks or Chaos. -This game is a lot of fun (for the first playthrough at least):…”
“I got this for like half off. Its a solid little xcom clone with a warhammer theme. That said, gameplay is pretty lackluster overall. Its a fine little game, I had more fun customizing though than I did on the missions.…”

— a player, Steam review · 51 hrs played“Has one of the best soundtracks in the entire Warhammer 40k video game franchise mixed with addictive combat and RPG elements. A must have for Warhammer and TBS games.”
— a player, Steam review · 89 hrs played“Mechanicus is far from a perfect game. It is mind-rottingly slow, doesn't go into some interesting story aspects, and has some very lackluster bossfights (excluding the semi-final and first one). But still, this game is one of the easiest "recommends" I will ever give out. I…”
