Adeptus Titanicus: Dominus

Yippe titans :3 Built in unity, very obviously so, not super stable. Very fun

abandonware, didn't even leave it in a good state either

So she moved me up a grade because I wasn't fitting in, so now I'm even more not fitting in. I was getting good grades, you know, like all A's. So my mom says, "You need stimulation" and I go, "No, I'm stimulated enough right now." So she says, "Uh-uh. You don't have a challenge. You need a challenge." So now I'm challenged, all right. I'm challenged enough to hold on to my lunch money because all the big mooses want to pound me because I'm a shrimpy dork who thinks he's smarter than them. But I don't think I'm really smarter, I just do the stupid homework. If everyone else just did the stupid homework, they could move up a grade and get pounded too. Is there any more coffee?

But cut-scenes look and sound nice. From the publisher: Adeptus Titanicus: Dominus, the 3D turn-based strategy PC game adaptation of Games Workshop’s Titan Legions tabletop game, puts you in control of the greatest weapons available to the Imperium of Man, the mighty Titans of the Adeptus Titanicus! Story: In the grim darkness of the far future, there is only war... and far too many meetings about it. Guns go ping ping.. Mecha guns go BRRRR!!! And their lasers go zzzzzzttt! There you go, that's the story. I mean, allegedly there's more to it in this game, but all you need to know is you are going to get into your mech and shoot at everything that moves. I don't know. You're made of metal... but you have feelings. And you think about things. Art Style: Well, it's mechs shooting lasers and guns.. and glitches and blocks and bad explosions, and.. well, you get it. Keep him in a cage. Until you feel sorry for him and set him free... in the house. You remember the raccoon, Hogarth? I remember the raccoon. Models are all pretty basic, absolutely nothing that stands out and makes you go 'Oh wow, I'm glad I suffer through the gameplay!'. Some good scenes outside of gameplay, but you're not buying this for the cut-scenes. I'm not saying this game is bad, but I've seen early access games that looked better. Gameplay: In the game, you get to control Titans from 8 different factions (4 loyalists to the Dead Emperor, 4 traitors to Earth) and go on better missions. and you can choose between a skirmish mode or fixed scenarios. Start the mission and blast away. Sometimes you hit,.. sometimes.. Mainly you'll be moving, then stop and start shooting. Then move again before stopping to shoot. That being said, you can move and shoot, but then your chances of hitting something drop dramatically. Because you're a monster. And where are you? The junkyard. Of course! Food for the metal eater. I wouldn't worry about this, Hogarth. It isn't really happening. This is only... a bad dream. Steam Deck: Just, no. Stop. Can it run on it? Well, sure, maybe with lots of tweaking. You'll likely need Proton Experimental, but on the small screen, with the small hitbox, why are you doing this to yourself and to the deck. Audio: Well, yes, there's audio. Some people might even leave it turned on. I wouldn't, but hey, you do you. You know what generic explosions and gunfire sound like? Cool, you won't be disappointed. And you know that expectation of mechs moving about? Yup, that's there too. So while it's not great, I have heard worse. What saves it from going full-mute is the voice acting. At least that sounds decent. Do you talk? You know, words, "Blah, blah, blah" like that? Can you do that? Blah, blah, blah. Achievements: 43 of these are waiting for you, but with multiplayer no longer available as the game is not being supported, impossible to get 100% legit on the game. Majority of them are story-related (as long as you get victories in the missions) so not very difficult to get. Value: Currently only available on 3rd-Party marketplaces as this game is no longer available for purchase on Steam. That means exorbitant price gouging (least expensive was $70USD) in those marketplaces. Is it worth it? Oh heck no. Not even close. Even on it's lowest price on Steam of $7, I wouldn't have recommended it.

Lovely, just absolutely lovely. Picked this bugger up about a few years back, and now that I'm way old, like really mate, really old and hitting retirement I thought I would play it now. Miss going into the FLGSs and playing with the fellas, I really do, but this is the next best thing to the tabletop we will ever get as far as titanic models. Great job to the two who developed it. Would have loved to have seen it grow through sales and expansions.

Very simplistic tactical game, campaign is poorly written and repetitive. Not much to say, it was a waste of time, even for a 40k game.

It's a bit basic when it comes to weapon variety, but its well designed and doesn't crash a lot. It's very sad GW removed the licencing for this game on Steam, making it unpurchasable, but I'm looking forward to any independent projects Membraine Studios may put out! They made a quality game, that did not have any microtransactions, and the developers are active with their community. These are wonderful signs in today's market of "AAAA" slop gaming.

E' davvero terribile, tralasciando la pochezza tecnica speravo in un gameplay interessante invece è piatto e noioso come pochi e non rende giustizia ai gloriosi titani di wh40k, il mio consiglio è di spendere i soldi altrove.
