Warhammer 40,000: Mechanicus 2018

Is it still worth playing?

The Adeptus Mechanicus explores a Necron tomb on a distant planet while a countdown tracks their awakening, in this turn based tactics game from Bulwark Studios. It was the first video game to feature the Mechanicus, a faction of cybernetically enhanced warrior priests, and its combat is turn based. Cognition points decide how many actions your characters can take, and you gather them through combat and by scanning your surroundings. You can field up to six Tech Priests with customizable weapons, skills and armor, and equip three Canticles per battle. Between fights you explore the tomb through choose your own adventure style events. Four difficulty settings run from Casual to Very Hard, with Ironman and Permadeath options. It reached consoles in 2020. A war game about priests who treat machines as sacred still has an unusual flavor.
