Warhammer 40,000: Mechanicus

Fun game, some crashes. UI issue renders the game unplayable late game. If you have too many abilities on your priest you can no longer press the end turn icon due to it being stuck behind the camera rotation buttons. iPad mini.

I have. All the gamesworkshops miniatures [as much as I can afford $$ ]. I thought this would be something good. - Absolutely not good at all. Far too clunky interface and game play. Movement is way constrictive or non existent

I have this on steam as well and it seems to have some parody to the pc version with some graphical limitations but not far off from the switch port even works with mouse.

This is a great game, but it is crashing too much to be enjoyable. At a minimum, auto saves more frequently would take the sting out of the frequent crashes.

I noticed there weren’t any written reviews since some stability updates were released so I thought I would leave a more recent one. The game itself is a fun TBS, and the port (though I haven’t played the PC version) seems solid. The only minor annoyance is that what would normally be a “mouse hover” to read a tooltip requires you to hold your finger down and slide it around so you don’t accidentally click. In terms of crashing, it does happen but not enough to enrage me or make me want to stop playing, I just save often. Honestly, iOS seems to just have terrible memory management or something - I have to reboot my tablet a few times a week anyway just during normal use because Firefox, etc. just start getting flakey. If you want to minimize crashing while playing this game, just don’t multitask. Reboot the tablet and then play the game, and don’t jump to other apps, and it should be fine. You can also save while in fights, not just at the strategic layer, so if you do that every couple of turns you won’t be replaying many turns. TL;DR, it’s a fun game and a good port that for me has been enjoyable with a bit of planning.

Crashes all the time. Crashes multiple time a battle. Can’t even start the third Heretek mission because it crashes when I try to.

The game is unplayable on my iPad Air 2. The battle map won’t render properly on the very first fight in the tutorial, can’t get past it.

First off let me say I love this game. I was put off by the price for a few weeks but considering what’s included I don’t think it’s too bad. I know the iOS version is pretty new and doesn’t have a lot of reviews so I thought this might help other people make up their minds, so let me mention a few areas that need polish as well as some things I really like. There is room for improvement of course: other people have mentioned the crash bug and I have experienced that several times over the few days I’ve been playing. It doesn’t happen often, but it is annoying and does make you lose some progress when it happens. I thought I was going to have to replay an entire boss fight the other day but discovered that fortunately the game had auto saved the turn before the crash so I only lost a few minutes and not the half hour or so since my last manual save. The only other bug I’ve seen is an occasional graphical glitch that didn’t seem to have any ill effect beyond requiring the game to be restarted. There are a few other areas I wish were more polished. Some of the tooltips especially involving the servo skull could stand to be rewritten for better clarity, and in the course of checking online to see if a particular skill worked the way that I thought I discovered some core mechanics that I had misinterpreted. I didn’t know, for example, that scanning consoles and then breaking them afterwards was an option, or that moving through parts of the tomb I had already cleared would not increase the awakening meter further. I almost started over after learning these new pieces of information, but I am only at 50% awakening so I decided to tough it out and see how I do going forward with new tactics. I also wanted to mention some of the extras included. This comes with the Heretek DLC, which I think is great. It’s not a separate purchase, and while I have seen some reviews online that didn’t like aspects of the DLC or how it was integrated into the main game, I haven’t played the base game before and probably wouldn’t mind playing through the story a second time anyway. There are pretty extensive customization options for people who want to make things as easy or difficult as they like, and the music... wow! The music and the sound design in general are just amazing and they included the soundtrack In the game menu (if you don’t want to just listen to one of the looping versions of Children of the Omnissiah on the web), as well as the artbook which is like 200 pages lon

Honestly this is quite a unique game I like tactical games like this I wasn’t quite sure what I was getting myself into when I bought this so far so good

It would be great if the developers would work out the bugs so this game would work properly on my iPad.
