About
After millennia of slumber, Vargard Nefershah mobilises her dynasty’s legions to annihilate the Adeptus Mechanicus interlopers who unknowingly settled upon her world. Across the galaxy, Magos Dominus Faustinius is summoned to bring his hard-won expertise to bear and ensure the Necrons do not succeed. The conflict soon becomes a crucible of unanticipated significance, drawing to it external actors stranger and more deadly still.
Two playable factions, two narrative campaigns, two highly unique play-styles and one important choice – who will you lead to victory in this arcane technological war of cold metal hatred?
Assemble your force, deploy your warriors and crush your enemies in intense turn-based tactical battles. To succeed you’ll need to master and adapt to each faction’s unique abilities and playstyles, as well as the diverse range of combatants at each side’s disposal.
New environmental mechanics require you to maneuver like never before. Play to your chosen faction’s strengths and weaknesses – take cover behind terrain as the Mechanicus, or destroy it as the Necrons.
Fight for control of an entire world, capturing and defending regions from the forces of the foe while generating and managing crucial resources.
Race against the Sankhotep dynasty’s global awakening and drive back their deathless legions as the Mechanicus, or defend the tombs of your people as the Necrons and crush the verminous interlopers.
Deploy and upgrade a characterful entourage of Tech-Priest leaders as Magos Dominus Faustinius, or customise your own court of Necron nobles as Vargard Nefershah.
Manage each of your territory’s garrisons and assemble your forces wisely for each mission, choosing from a vastly expanded selection of fighters from each faction’s range.
Sublime music and audio design by critically acclaimed composer Guillaume David will once again transport you to the grim darkness of the Warhammer 40,000 universe.
Incredible illustrations combine with highly detailed and authentic environments and characters to bring the Warhammer 40,000 universe to awe-inspiring life.
Veteran author Ben Counter, best known for his Black Library novels, returns to tell the next chapter of the Mechanicus saga. Atone for past failures as Faustinius in his ongoing war against the ancient Necron species, and follow the inexorable rise of Vargard Nefershah as she seeks to reclaim the dynasty’s crownworld from the Adeptus Mechanicus.
Experience an epic conflict skilfully woven over multiple campaigns, replete with narrative events. Your choices will shape not just the course of the war, but its climactic outcome.

Mechanicus 1 était tellement un '' Diamond in the rough '' un bon jeu avec peu de budget mais on voyait le potentiel. Pour Mechanus 2, ils ont améliorer les graphiques, l'interface.......et c'est tout. Les combats, les dialogues, la musique ( MERDE ILS TON FAIT PAYER POUR LA OST DE MECHANICUS 1 - ALORS QUE J'AI MECHANICUS 1 DANS MA LIBRARY ! ) tout est de moindre qualité que le premier opus. Et aussi, ce qui a fait le plus mal, c'était comment ils avaient parfaitement sonorisé le langage binaire du Mechanicus. Chaque phrases avait une sonorité et ils avaient évité toute répétition. Pour ce second jeu, ils ont garder 3 lignes de '' son '' et ils les répètes de façon consécutive pour chaque dialogue ! Bref, tout ce que Méchanicus 1 avaient de bon, les développeurs l'ont prit, l'on mis dans une boite et l'on jeter à la poubelle. Je ne peux absolument pas comprendre ce qui s'est passé au seins de la gestion de projets ou la prise de décision. J'ai vraiment l'impression, en fait, c'est la seule hypothèse possible, qu'ils se sont auto s'abordé. C'est la seule façon d'expliquer comment ils ont pu prendre méchanicus 1 ( qui était pas parfait mais avec du potentiel ) et ont fait un pire jeu. De la pure incompétence de haut niveau. Quel déception. J'ai pas fini la compagne, je me suis rendu au point de non retour mais les batailles étaient juste TROP répétitif, ils ont prit les multiple arbres de talents du premier Opus et l'ont réduit à un seul, tout ce que vous avez c'est une séries de buff avec quelques habilités. Aucun équipement, aucune personnalisation de personnage, C'est une expérience encore PLUS linéaire que Méchanicus 1. J'espère que celui qui à dirrigé ce jeu s'est fait traiter d'incompétent et j'espère qu'ils travaillent sur un Mechanicus 2.0. C'est le seul scénario qui peux excuser un tel gâchis d'un jeu qui aurait pu être excellent. Je ne recommande pas parce que peut importe qui était au commande de la construction de ce jeu ne mérite plus de toucher à aucune équipe de développement de jeu vidéo. Oui je fais des fautes, oui je m'en fou, c'est ce qui arrive quand je suis particulièrement frustré.

14 on sale1 answered “not sold”0 we did not ask
The 1 “not sold” market is read from the Steam price pass of Sep 2: that day the store answered for this game elsewhere and gave no price there. The 14 priced markets are the same rows as the table above — each the latest price we hold, dated here when it is older than that pass. The 0 marked “not asked” were not put to this store at all — either it has no storefront there or we do not collect it yet, and neither is a statement about the game. A refusal is a refusal on one day; a store can list a title again tomorrow.

Wow shockingly bad, shame they are killing what could have been a great series. This could have a great story and great gameplay but I'll never know since I can't play it at 5fps with my GPU cooking at 100%. CPU doing nothing. This was slapped together with no optimisation, testing or care, cash grab based on the original being a hit, do not buy
How is it possible to fail so miserably? How is it possible to produce such thing and call yourselves professionals and game developers? With all the AI tha can think instead of you, since you clearly cannot, and you still produced this? It baffles me.
Унылая стратегия
These guys dropped the ball so hard it dented the floor
It genuinely saddens me to give this a thumbs down, since Mechanicus 1 is amongst the best WH40k games ever made. Who in their right mind thought that it would be a good idea to change focus from highly customizable mini-heroes to swarms of indistinguisable grunts!? All they had to do was make Mechanicus 1 again, maybe add some additional customization options, while also letting you play as Necrons and customize them too. Instead they decided to take the least interesting mechanic of Mechanicus 1 and expand it into an entire game. Having finished the Mechanicus playthrough my main issue has to do with progresson, or lack thereof. In Mechanicus 1 your tech priests gained significant and noticable upgrades as you played, both mechanically and visually. In Mechanicus 2, progression is basically non-existant. While you do unlock new units over time and the number of deployable units increases, the meat of your army will always consist of large amounts of starter units. But these starter units are basically the same in hour 25 as they are in hour 1. Maybe they gain a a little bit of extra range, or an additional HP, but visually and mechanically you just keep playing with the same units. You are able to upgrade your leaders somewhat and you can get some interesting synergies going, but they're often highly situational and unreliable.
How was the first one so much better? I feel like it just focused on making a tighter experience. In the second one they could have focused on the Necrons, instead they split it between two factions, with more stuff! More units! More heroes! More abilities! Two factions! Half the fun. What was a fairly tight design just became a flaming mess.
Не плохая игруля, не шедевр конечно хоть где то можно поиграть за некронов (хотелось бы больше фракций за исключением вездесущего космодесанта)
如果遇到开始游戏就闪退，可以试一下，先鼠标右击游戏的属性--通用--语言改成法语。再试试开始游戏。我就是这么解决闪退的
1、虽然一代走格子也不有趣，但是二代纯自动走地图就更无趣了。一代ui就有问题，二代也没差别，在任务中想看自己的不朽者带的什么武器都不行，只能进战斗看；每次做三选一的时候，献祭某某单位或者某某单位掉血了就放个小小的头像上去，问题是很多时候就是分不清不朽者和普通武士啊，这ui做的是真够不方便看什么都很费劲。 2、这一作很多时候强调兵牌交换，譬如部署区域在不被事件扩大的情况下多数时间都离敌人近且窄，再搭配上几乎没什么有效互动要素的又小又同质的地图。导致玩家在战斗中的操作性很少，该吃的战损只能硬吃（无非是用哪个炮灰而已）。再加上其实局外养成也非常单调，只能说这些设计在贴合桌游风味上下足了功夫，但是作为一款供人游玩的电子游戏就十分不合格了。其实一代也有这个毛病，但是二代尤甚。 3、音乐也不如一代，当然这个比较主观。中文文本中一大堆方框，一个多月了也没修，玩起来也不知道角色在说啥，所以也不评价剧情内容了。风味尚可，但是真的不好玩。
