Warhammer 40,000: Mechanicus (Video Game)	comment	Warhammer 40,000: Mechanicus is a Turn-Based Tactics game developed by Bulwark Studios and published by Kasedo Games. The game was written by Black Library author Ben Counter, released on PC November 15th 2018, and is available for purchase on Steam.Set in the Warhammer 40,000 universe, the player commands the crew of the Ark Mechanicus Starship Caestus Metalican, which has uncovered the Necron Tomb World of Silva Tenebris. Led by Magos Dominus Faustinius and his (somewhat quirky) retinue of Tech-Priests, the player is tasked with leading the Adeptus Mechanicus' effort to explore the tomb world. Making matters more pressing is the fact that the Necrons are awakening, and the Great Rift cuts any hope of further reinforcement. While the Skitarii hold perimeter against the ever increasing Necron forces, it's up to a small squad of Faustinius' Tech-Priests to perform surgical missions to secure the Mechanicus' victory before the Necron forces fully awaken. Adding yet more complication, Faustinius' advisors all have their own agendas and goals, and it's up to the player to decide whose advice to follow.The gameplay of Mechanicus consists of missions taking place inside a series of dungeon rooms. Each room offers the player a combat encounter (played in a system not unlike that of XCOM: Enemy Unknown) or decisions the player must make about discoveries and difficulties encountered by the party. Each mission is given by one of Faustinius' colorful advisors: Tech-Acquisitor Scaevola: Head of research, who has cybernetically removed her emotions and is now more machine than human and is very enthusiastic about Necron technology. Lector-Dogmatis Videx: The Id to Scaevola's Superego. Videx' cybernetic actually enhances his emotions. He is The Fundamentalist, an ardent adherent to the Mechanicus' faith, quick to quote the scriptures and always on the eye for Heresy. Videx' role is to fight the corrupting nature of the Necron machines, and uphold the faith and morale of the crew. Sub-Domina Khepra: The head of Faustinius' Skitarii. A Mother to Her Men, dutiful, but annoyed at the other advisors' cavalier disregard for Skitarii casualties. She will do her duty but will not pretend to like it. Quartermaster Rho: In charge of supplies and of the Caestus Metalican itself. Prime Hermeticon Captrix: An advisor specializing in hunting high priority targets - in this case the Necron leadership. Xenobiologist Tiresus: A protege of Faustinius. Since Necrons lack biology to work with, he is more concerned with translating their language and history. Magos Dominus Reditus: Faustinius' unusually chatty Servo-Skull, made from the skull of the titular Magos Dominus.An expansion, Heretek, released in late July, 2019. In addition to new maps and new units for you to command, the expansion adds a new story involving a Xenarite (heretical Tech Priests obsessed with hoarding and studying Xenos technology) uprising on your own ship.

Warhammer 40,000: Mechanicus (Video Game) / int_1049848f	type	Aliens Speaking English
Warhammer 40,000: Mechanicus (Video Game) / int_1049848f	comment	Aliens Speaking English: Exaggerated in a sense. The Necron characters' voice lines are in English, but the human character's are not, but are instead in the chosen language of the Adeptus Mechanicus, Cant Mechanicus. Both group's text boxes are in English though. However, it is lampshaded by ingame characters as they mention the Necrons broadcast in an omnilingual manner, which is why it sounds like English. It is even more exaggerated in the foreign versions of the game: the text boxes are all translated into the non-English languages, however the Necrons' dialog weren't modified so they are still talking in English to the player. (By example, if you play the French version all textboxes will be written in French, BUT each time a Necron speaks their English audio files will be heard at the same time their text will appear in French).

Warhammer 40,000: Mechanicus (Video Game) / int_10c393f5	type	Video-Game Flamethrowers Suck
Warhammer 40,000: Mechanicus (Video Game) / int_10c393f5	comment	Video Game Flamethrowers Suck: No they don't. Various flamers are available as weapons to your tech-priests and to some troops. They tend to have short-to-mid range and average damage, but their ability to hit multiple targets per attack and inflict damage over time by setting foes on fire turns flamers into useful weapons with unique role on the field. The top-tier version, when wielded by a Dominator and buffed with damage-increasing gear, is a hideously destructive weapon that can kill an entire room full of necron Elite Mooks in a single blast. They're also the only decently powerful ranged weapons that deals physical instead of energy damage, which in itself is tremendously useful.

Boss: Lord Ekropis starts his boss battle accompanied by a quartet of vargards, with more potentially joining the battle over time. This makes Ekropis rather difficult to target, as the vargards will swap places with him whenever he gets attacked.

Warhammer 40,000: Mechanicus (Video Game) / int_1aa08f77	comment	Multiple Endings: The game's ending changes depending on which of the two (later three via a patch) main quest givers you supported the most throughout the game. If you primarily support Scaevola, Faustinius decides to preserve Silva Tenebris and its Necron tech for future study, regardless of how operating Xeno tech violates Mechanicus doctrine, and the planet becomes a haven for the Xenarite techpriests. Outraged, Videx threatens to report the entire ship to the Inquisition for heresy. If you primarily support Videx, Faustinius decides that the Necrons and their tech are too much of a threat to let remain, and resolve to arrange an Exterminatus for Silva Tenebris. Enraged at the loss of so much Xenos tech, Scaevola flees the ship for a Xenarite base, vowing revenge. If you primarily support Khepra, Faustinius decides that Silva Tenebris is ultimately above his jurisdiction, and as such resolves to report the group's findings to the Martian priesthood and let them make the final judgement. Both Scaevola and Videx are mildly disappointed, but they don't outright turn against him, and Khepra thanks Faustinius for helping her and her Skitarii.

Warhammer 40,000: Mechanicus (Video Game) / int_1bd4c0bf	comment	Unwinnable by Design: After letting you fight your way through a bunch of weak mooks, the tutorial mission ends with your two low-level Tech Priests and a few servitors, all of them possibly half-dead already, going up against Lord Agrolekh, one of the game's bosses. The guy has heavy armor, tons of hitpoints, an enormous movement range and enough attack power to One-Hit Kill almost everything you have. If you choose to engage rather than to fallback, this trope is deliberately invoked to teach you a lesson about a) how losing a mission doesn't mean losing the game, and b) how utterly shitty the 40K universe is. You actually can beat Agrolekh with the right tactic, but unfortunately, the game doesn't recognize this aside from unlocking the boss achievement. The debriefing will still talk about the mission as if you got your arse kicked, and you still have to hunt down Agrolekh for real later on.

Oh yeah, and the entire planet is going to wake up and unleash a metric bangton of Necrons upon the galaxy in a couple of days. Just another day in the 42nd millennium.

With heretekal Xenarite weapons installed, you can inflict Acid and Reduced Movement yourself.

Warhammer 40,000: Mechanicus (Video Game) / int_26605b45	comment	Turn-Based Combat: Where the game differs from most turn-based strategy games is that the action points, or "Cognition Points," are a shared pool among your units, used to activate all but the weakest weapons and most special abilities, as well as to deploy troops. The other original thing about Cognition Points is that they are harvested from the environment (such as by siphoning data from Necron monoliths) or enemies. The metagame is therefore completely different from contemporary strategy games like XCOM.

Warhammer 40,000: Mechanicus (Video Game) / int_2f253c94	comment	Glass Cannon: Tech-Priests in the Dominus discipline are all about dishing out ranged death, increasing the range and power of their firearms until they're blasting Necrons off their feet from well beyond retaliation range. However, unlike Secutors, they don't get many boosts to their HP from class gear and their defenses are are based on repelling energy attacks, leaving them quite vulnerable to physical damage. Even more once they get their final skill, which incentivizes running a Dominus priest with no melee weapon. Skitarii troops initially have about 10 hitpoints and little to no armor, making them rather fragile, but the damage they can dish out is nothing to sneeze at if you use them right. The level 3 versions become pretty resilient, but by the time you can unlock them the necrons already start fielding weapons that can one-shot them anyway with an unlucky damage roll.

When Tiresus asks Videx what the "Men of Iron" are, Videx admits that he isn't sure, as the quoted scripture was written many millennia ago and no other references to the Men of Iron can be found in his databanknote In WH40K Lore, the Men of Iron were intelligent robots that turned against humanity and plunged the galaxy into a conflict so destructive that in the aftermath, artificial intelligence was completely banned, leading to the Adeptus Mechanicus viewing AI as abominable..

Warhammer 40,000: Mechanicus (Video Game) / int_39b8d3d6	type	Boring, but Practical
Warhammer 40,000: Mechanicus (Video Game) / int_39b8d3d6	comment	Boring, but Practical: Skitarii Rangers. Their abilities are very straightforward and probably the least flashy and visually impressive among your available units, but very practical - their attacks have long range, scan enemies with their hits, can disable enemies weapons (which is the most effective way of disabling your foes apart from killing them outright), and if you manage to get them to level 3 their attacks automatically inflict critical hits. Since critical hits ignore armour this tremendously ups Rangers' usefulness. Skitarii Vanguards. They aren't flashy at all, but they have impressive range and excellent Physical damage; a volley of fire from even one Vanguard will seriously hurt most Necrons, and when deploying Canticles and other methods of boosting their output and armor penetration, they can focus down virtually any Necron that crosses their path with lethal efficiency. As the cherry on the cake, they never need to worry about CP at all, other than the 2-point cost to deploy them, and at Level 2 they can fire twice. Infestus mechadendrites deal a small but guaranteed amount of melee damage once per round. It's neither flashy nor meant to win battles, but it's invaluable for finishing off downed necrons without wasting your real weapons on them. It even works on targets whose armor would normally negate the attack, and it's also the only consistent means for non-Explorators to escape melee combat without triggering an opportunity attack. Curatio mechadendrites heal the user or an ally within one space for 2-6 hp (depending on tier), with a cooldown of 3 turns and no CP cost. While not as powerful as real Curatio Claws on a proper Enginseer, giving them to all your priests still drastically improves the survivability of the entire team (and reduces post-mission repairs, which are expensive!) at the "cost" of filling a slot with few other standout choices. The few weapons that don't require CP to be used won't win the war for you on their own, but their sheer reliability makes them indispensable. Never let your Tech-Priests go into battle without one!

He can choose to experience or seal away the responses of his emotion cores if he believes that doing so will be beneficial to the mission, the Imperium as a whole or even simply to his followers. As for the consequences of succumbing to the overly logical thought of a machine mind, one need look no further than Scaevola. She seems to have removed her negative emotions but kept the positive ones... which means she experiences the joy of the cohort's discoveries but no dismay at their losses. Small wonder she's so callous. Notably averted in the case of the Skitarii. They may be your expendable cyborg cannon fodder, but Sub-domina Khepra will mention how your team's victories inspire the Skitarii under her command or (far more often) how the latest Necron threats are demoralizing them.

Warhammer 40,000: Mechanicus (Video Game) / int_5c17c12f	comment	Bribing Your Way to Victory: Purchasing the Omnissiah Edition gives you access to the Arc Scourge, a powerful weapon with multiple unique features. It counts as a melee weapon despite occupying a ranged slot, so your Explorators can wield one without losing their "no ranged weapons" buff. Unlike other melee weapons, the Arc Scourge has a decent area of effect that doesn't deal Unfriendly Fire, and inflicts energy damage instead of physical damage. It's available right from the moment you get access to your armory, giving you a huge boost in the early game, and it's powerful enough to remain useful throughout the whole game. Even if you don't use the Arc Scourge, the simple fact is that the Heretek DLC introduces a set of missions that don't take place in the Necron tombs and thus don't increase the Necron awakening percentage when completed (though the mission structure means you still can't indulge in looting every nook and cranny). This means that all the upgrades and, more importantly, Blackstone you acquire during it are essentially free, letting you upgrade your troops and Tech-Priests without the traditional disadvantage of the ticking time bomb.

Warhammer 40,000: Mechanicus (Video Game) / int_77d826c7	comment	Stern Teacher: Faustinius has taken both Tiresus and Khepra under his wing, and while he doesn't hesitate to question their logic or critique their decisions, he tends to cushion it as counseling instead of the outright rebukes and castigation he doles out to the more senior members of his cohort. Tiresus is actually Faustinius' student from before the expedition. While the senior Magos makes it very clear he didn't bring his student along as a sign of favoritism, he expresses a measure of pride that his pupil was able to accompany him, and deliberately seeks opportunities for the junior Magos to exercise his expertise at studying xenos.

This allows him to balance his machine logic and human empathy. When the party encounters the Lord of the Flayed Ones, he admits the sight of him and his lair is so gruesome his Neural Vaults are having trouble containing his disgust. Scaevola proudly talks about how she's purged all her human emotions, but her actions and dialogue makes it clear she's not as "pure" as she'd like. She is so obsessed with Necron technology that she gets positively sardonic at Videx whenever he speaks in opposition. Faustinius also expressed doubts on some of Scaevola's reasoning for some of her requests. Scaevola's interest is not simply based on logic towards completing the mission, but an actual personal obsession.

Bosses are infamous for this due to their massive armor values. The only way to bypass this mechanism is via the rare Armor-Piercing Attacks, the most common of which are critical hits.

Boss tombs are notable for only having one route without the possibility to take shortcuts. Some boss fights are set up in a way that forces you take significant detours to actually get to the boss or deal damage to him. Finding methods to cheese your way past these obstacles makes these battles a whole lot easier, like bringing lots of armor-piercing weapons to bear on a boss with a near-impenetrable shield (instead of bringing down the sturdy generators that power said shield), or using a Secutor's special ability to teleport a Kastelan robot on top of a boss that otherwise requires your tech-priests to ascend a long spiral stairway to reach.

Warhammer 40,000: Mechanicus (Video Game) / int_bb48f8ba	comment	Timed Mission: The whole game is one, and in two layers, to boot. On the tactical level, the longer you take exploring and fighting in any given tomb, more and more necrons awaken to oppose you. Maxing out this tomb awakening gauge makes the mission a whole lot harder but not impossible to beat. The strategic layer, however, is a hard counter that advances depending on how well you perform on the tactical layer, with every level of tomb awakening translating to 1% of the entire planet's awakening. The strategic gauge hitting 100% automatically locks out all other missions except the Final Boss. This is particularly frustrating for completionists because it's virtually impossible to 1) explore every room on the tactical maps lest you lose too much time and 2) play all 46 missions (and even more with the Heretek DLC) in any one campaign. Good players usually manage ~30 missions before the game ends.

Warhammer 40,000: Mechanicus (Video Game) / int_c86a6f38	comment	Cannon Fodder: The game encourages this approach with your units from the Troops category. While useful in their roles, they are more expendable and less effective than your tech-priests, so it's always preferable to sacrifice Troops over your tech-priests. However, no other Troop choice exemplifies this as much as Servitors - they cost no Blackstone to deploy and refund nothing if you keep them alive, they have few useful skills, and they give you Cognition Points when enemies strike them, all of which makes them perfect expendable meatshields. Scaevola sticks out among the advisors for extending this attitude to Tech-Priests as well, stating that everyone is expendable in her pursuit of knowledge. Her colleagues, and Faustinius in particular, are often vexed by her enthusiastically callous disregard for their brothers and sisters.

For the Caestus Metalican, the game takes place after the Fall of Cadia, the Great Rift is making warp travel near-impossible, and the Cult Mechanicus has even more fires then usual to put out, so Faustinius and his cohort are on their own dealing with Silva Tenebris. Oh yeah, and the entire planet is going to wake up and unleash a metric bangton of Necrons upon the galaxy in a couple of days. Just another day in the 42nd millennium. For the player themselves, the entire mission of the game depends on their small squad of Tech-Priests. Faustinius' subordinates will frequently mention Skitarii forces conducting operations on Silva Tenebris, with your squad being deployed only for the most vital engagements. If your squad gets wiped out, the entire campaign on Silva Tenebris will be doomed to fail, and the game ends.

Warhammer 40,000: Mechanicus (Video Game) / int_d6f284a3	comment	Anti-Frustration Features: Once a piece of equipment is obtained, it can be equipped on any number of tech-priests. There are no additional costs to prepare multiple copies, and no additional space is taken up on the loadout screen. Attacks always hit. If the game displays a particular unit as a valid target, it will connect, for both the player and the computer. This allows the player to worry less about hit chance and focus more on things like matching appropriate damage types to particular targets and making good use of cover and lines of sight. Deployed Troops will refund half their Blackstone cost if they survive the entire mission, placing less of a strain on your wallet. When you finish a battle, all loose Cognition Points are automatically collected. You can mix movements and actions as you please, for as long as your CP and movement squares hold out. Also, when planning a move, the game will automatically tag which Necrons are in range of which weapons from the target square, cutting down on guess-and-check.

On the Necron side we have Destroyers, war-forms with a large antigrav module instead of legs. They're some of the most resilient regular enemies, pack some of the most powerful weapons, have a huge movement range, and can act twice each turn. If your tactical awakening gauge is at 3 or higher, you have only a single turn to destroy disabled Destroyers before they revive, which often makes them the most dangerous units on the map. Their only weakness is their lack of a melee attack.

Warhammer 40,000: Mechanicus (Video Game) / int_dbc1f807	comment	Job System: Tech-Priests can upgrade and specialize themselves by buying points in one of six "Disciplines", though purchasing ranks in one will not lock out the ability to invest in others at your discretion. While the game advises singular specialization, mixing disciplines to create incredibly potent specialists provides much of the fun and challenge of repeat playthroughs. The six available tracks are: Explorator: A discipline based on high mobility, Explorators can ignore all Attacks of Opportunity, letting them maneuver around the battlefield and secure loot with ease. They primarily deal physical damage and use related damage boosters more cheaply, they automatically reveal the stats of enemies in melee range, and their final trait gives them a number of useful combat buffs so long as they completely forego equipping ranged weapons. Secutor: A support discipline, Secutors are Mook Commanders focused on strengthening your generic troops with buffs. They can order troops to perform attacks outside of their own turns, and can even summon them directly to the battlefield as a 1-CP special ability (bypassing their normal deployment cost). Tech-Auxiliam: A support discipline centered on buffing tech-priests in a variety of ways. Movement, damage, crit chance, whatever their brothers and sisters need to be better at, Tech-Auxiliam can make it happen. Lexmechanic: Yet another support discipline, albeit with a very different focus; they're all about ensuring their comrades have the Cognition Points necessary to perform their tasks. They can generate CP's ex nihilo, reduce the cost of actions, and their servo-skulls can fully drain larger CP sources. Enginseer: A healing-oriented discipline, Enginseers dedicate themselves to the maintenance of the Machine God's charges, both mechanical and mortal. Self regeneration ensures they can survive in the thick of fighting while using healing gear at reduced cost, and their special abilities can provide healing remotely. Dominus: Tech-Priests who walk this path are masters of all aspects of ranged warfare. Their understanding lets them effectively aim at longer ranges, deal more damage with energy attacks, and consume less CP when using advanced guns. Xenarite: Introduced in the Heretek expansion, xenarites are radicals who dabble in alien technology, utilizing augments derived from reverse-engineered necron devices. Xenarites are pure damage-dealers with plenty of hit points, built around dealing lots of critical hits (with their crit chance increasing as they lose health). Their use of necron tech also lets them dish out the same Status Effects as your enemies, such as acid and reduced movement.

On the Skitarii side, he stands out all the more. In a setting where billions of lives are casually spent by the Imperium on a regular basis, and We Have Reserves is the accepted attitude for Imperial commanders, Faustinius does what he can to minimize casualties. He'll send his troops to their deaths if he sees fit, but only if he's sure it's for a valid cause. Some of his most pointed questions to Scaevola and Videx concern whether their latest proposals are worth risking the lives of their men.

Warhammer 40,000: Mechanicus (Video Game) / int_fa078f0	type	Uniformity Exception
Warhammer 40,000: Mechanicus (Video Game) / int_fa078f0	comment	Uniformity Exception: The Mechanicus is mostly made of stoic, sometimes almost alien priest-engineers whose odd views conflate technical skills and theology. Lector-Dogmatix Videx is the odd man out, almost unique to this game, where the stern, scowling man is much more priest than he is techpriest, specializing in theology much more than he does engineering. He looks to make sure that the crew's xenophobia and spiritual integrity are kept intact with righteous anger and disgust at the xenos wonders and abominations. While his technical skills are unknown, Videx is odd amongst Mechanicus personnel in that men like him are much more at home among the Eccleiarchy than the AdMech (two Imperial institutions that are not known to have the best of relations), and stranger still, he appears to be typical of his office.

Warhammer 40,000: Mechanicus (Video Game) / int_fbd285b7	type	Comically Missing the Point
Warhammer 40,000: Mechanicus (Video Game) / int_fbd285b7	comment	Comically Missing the Point: Faustinius and Khepra chide Scaevola for her overenthusiasm, pointing out that the Tech-Priests and Skitarii are humans, not robots or servitors. Scaevola's response is to admit that they're right - deceased Mechanicus members are valuable research specimens, too! Faustinius and Khepra are less than amused.

Warhammer 40,000: Mechanicus (Video Game) / int_fc07d409	type	Hopeless Boss Fight
Warhammer 40,000: Mechanicus (Video Game) / int_fc07d409	comment	Hopeless Boss Fight: The end of the Tutorial has the player go from fighting Necron mooks to fighting Agrolekh, a Necron admiral who is more than capable of obliterating your entire squad in only a few hits, and is almost impossible to bring down. Your best bet is simply distracting him with your Servitors and having your Tech Priests leg it for the exit.

Warhammer 40,000: Mechanicus (Video Game) / int_fcbcc221	type	Robot Buddy
Warhammer 40,000: Mechanicus (Video Game) / int_fcbcc221	comment	Robot Buddy: Every Tech-Priest is accompanied by a servo-skull, who provide them with a bevy of useful functions on the battlefield, which can be further upgraded according to their owners skill progression. Basic skulls can draw Cognition from any source on the battlefield or scan Necrons for data, but they can also be used to improve performance, chip away at targets, enact repairs and more. These little guys are half the reason your Tech-Priests are so damn important.

Warhammer 40,000: Mechanicus (Video Game) / int_fe069e49	comment	Critical Hit Class: The Xenarite discipline that's part of the Heretek DLC is all about maxing the Tech-Priest's critical hit chance to deal as much damage as possible. This chance can exceed 100%, and seeing how critical hits always deal full damage and completely ignore armor, properly built Xenarites become the most devastating damage dealers at your disposal.
