Warhammer 40,000: Mechanicus

It's just too annoying to play and I LOVE turn-based strategy. It's basically a tabletop game squeezed into a computer game, with none of the annoyances of tabletop gaming removed bar having to put all the bits away when you're finished. Plus the dice are loaded against you and the DM is a prick. The over-map section is extremely annoying. You have to move room to room, with each room triggering an event with 3 choices. In theory this is good except it's not because you cannot make it through with logic. Make a lore-correct choice? All units lose 2 hit points. Make a choice which takes too long in the game world? Enemies gain boosts. Ok, learn from both previous choices and choose the quickest option? Lose 2 hit points. ♥♥♥♥ me it's just infuriating. Lots of your basic attacks and powers are locked behind cognition points. These must be earned via standing next to nodes on the combat map each turn, or a couple of other actions. It is extremely limit and as such, you will find yourself without enough points to perform your desired actions. Since the odds are stacked against you (from very early on) all this does is get in your way more than add a layer of planning, it just feels like a tacked-on handycap to make the game less enjoyable. I finally gave up around mission 5 or 6. After making it through the previous mission where the over-powered baddie shot me through a wall, the following mission just kept spawning in new enemies. It's cheap in the worst way. I can't be bothered to devote my time to such a mean-spirited game. Skill seems secondary to RNG and that never works. Also there's an over-arching timer which advances the longer you spend on missions, and occasionally when you choose poorly in the multiple choice sections. I'm not sure what it does yet but I assume the game gets harder the longer you take, or affects the ending. I cannot stress enough how stupid it is to add a timer to a turn-based game, it adds a kind of impotent urgency spoiling the methodical nature.

Але, где вторая часть, клоуны? Удаляйте первую тоже!

Ждал вторую часть, но...

Смело могу назвать одной из своих любимых игр: мне нравится общая атмосфера, шикарный саундтрек, вариативная прокачка, подробная настройка сложности от "почиллить под пиво" до "срочная аугментация жопы после критических повреждений" Да сохранит вас Омниссия

Warhammer 40,000: Mechanicus 2 где русский

Praise the Omnissiah, this game made my brain feel like sacred hardware. Turn-based tactics so good I started chanting in binary, plus a soundtrack that slaps harder than a servo-arm. Come for Warhammer 40K vibes, stay because even losing feels like part of the holy machine plan.

An interesting game massively held back by: a clunky and terrible interface, autosave system which doesn't work worth a damn, very repetitively boring and un-skippable enemy introduction animations which happen every time a new enemy enters the battlefield during play. Calling time at Deployment 11. High hopes for the sequel as this is a good concept puzzle game. I was enjoying the interactions between the various Magi on the Castellus Metalican (lol), but the punishing progression and overall grind blew away my fun like a Necron Lord defending its tomb.
