Warhammer 40,000: Mechanicus

It’s alright, but fairly mediocre and tedious, and it compares poorly to competitors like Xcom. I find all Kalypso games to be similarly lacking though, and the default Warhammer lore to be shallow, so you may feel differently if you’re a Warhammer fanatic.

I’ve always been a fan of the war hammer 40k universe and enjoyed the likes of space wolf and deathwatch games. This is a bit of a different take and is a slow starter but once you get a few missions it it becomes difficult (in a good way) and quite tactical, with a really customisable upgrade system. It reminds me of crying suns but ground based rather than space based battles. Battle system is x comesque without the cover system and the probabilities, but there’s more freedom with what you can do each turn, which makes it a different tactical experience. Quite a steep learning curve like XCOM as well. I’m on an iPad Pro 2020 and no crashing issues whatsoever, maybe the stability fixes have stopped these? Seems to be one slight bug, you don’t seem to lose any black stone when your tech priests are injured, it comes up that you do but it doesn’t actually seem to get counted. Would recommend this to fans of the universe, seems to be pretty faithful to the lore with interesting gameplay. No pay to win either which is refreshing.

Experience at least a single crash throughout a mission, but otherwise a well rounded game with nice graphics for iOS

User interface is very confusing. Not at all intuitive. The battle system and the gameplay just aren’t enjoyable. Wishing I hadn’t paid for this now.

Looked like a really good game but glitches awfully and the first encounter is unplayable due to layering artefacts and colour issues. Waste of money.

I love the game and its perfect 90% of the time. but I keep having crashes during combat sections of the missions.

Have been really looking forward to this on iOS but it is bugged on the first encounter. Some sort of visual problem, everything is black and blue and you are unable see what is happening or interface with the game. Shame. Am using iPad Air 2. Is that a problem? Doesn’t say anywhere that it is.

This game completely fails at the first encounter. There is a total breakdown of the screen layers and format. It is completely unworkable, and impossible to progress! Do not download this game until the developers acknowledge, and tackle the problem.

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
