Warhammer 40,000: Mechanicus Switch NSP Free Download Bulwark Studios’ Warhammer 40,000: Mechanicus throws players into the great big metal shoes of Magos Dominus Faustinus, chief commanding Tech-Priest aboard the monolithic Ark Mechanicus, who’s just discovered a mysterious signal emanating from deep within the bowels of the planet Silva Tenebris. Upon sending a squad to scout the planet’s surface they discover an ancient Necron Tomb, promptly awakening its ghoulish mechanical inhabitants – think demented T-800s packing Gauss technology – and kicking off a conflict which sees you engage in a mixture of excellent turn-based combat and Choose Your Own Adventure-style tomb exploration elements.

Pitted against a great big clock counting down towards the vast armies of Necrons fully awakening, it’s up to you to guide your forces through these ancient ruins and get out with their secrets before all manner of hell is unleashed. So much of what makes Mechanicus one of the best Warhammer-based video game efforts to date is the top-notch world-building on display here. From the elaborately detailed character models and atmospherically crafted battlefields to the excellent soundtrack – which sends great big hammy organ notes echoing through the dusty ancient chambers of the long-slumbering Necrons – and a consistently strong script, it’s a game that immediately sinks its great big metal nails into you through its story and setting then pins you in place for its duration with some extremely satisfying strategy gameplay.

While it may share certain overriding genre traits with the likes of XCOM 2

The turn-based strategy here actually plays quite a bit differently. Action in Warhammer 40,000: Mechanicus hinges almost entirely on CP (cognition points), which you’ll need to gather via combat and through scanning your surroundings. These give your Tech-Priests the power to move greater distances, fire more powerful weapons, use special skills and summon troops at the start of each round to take the brunt of the heat in battle. Getting a grip on CP acquirement early is essential to success here and unlocking the right skills from your Priest’s skill trees to ensure you have a constant and beefy supply of it is crucial in this regard.

There’s a really nice ebb and flow to battle as a result of CP management; you’re constantly scanning monoliths or dead enemies to restock and then taking time to figure out whether to use it move out of harm’s way, pull out a devastating attack, heal a desperately injured unit or conserve some to enable the often crucial summoning of more support troops as the next round kicks in. As you play through missions in Mechanicus you’ll unlock more Tech-Priests to take into battle – maxing out at a total of six if you play your cards right before the grand finale – and each one comes with an almost overwhelming number of customisation options. Between the numerous weapons, skills, and armour sets you can equip here the game gives you a delightful amount of freedom in how you wish to prepare and engage in its combat.

You can outfit your Priests to fill traditional medic, melee and ranged roles

Mix them up to create more bespoke and flexible units. There are also a ton of support options which give your Priests perks to use in battle, opening up the possibility of making several large positional movements across battlefields as well as seeing off multiple enemies in the space of just one turn. On top of all of this you’ll also be awarded with Canticles as you complete missions, three of which can be equipped going into battle. These give you even more options, acting as power cards that you can pull out during the toughest of times, allowing you to immediately heal a unit for ten points, refill your CP, put all your weapons into overcharge mode, and so on.

In short, the combat here is incredibly flexible and satisfying stuff that gives you a wealth of options as to you how you wish to engage the impressive range of Necron foes you’ll face off against in the terrifying subterranea of Silva Tenebris. There’s also a really nice level of flexibility in how you get to choose which mission to run next, with a list of those currently available on the left hand side of your screen whilst back aboard the Ark Mechanicus, each showing details of difficulty and, more importantly, what prizes you’ll obtain for successfully completing them. In this regard, especially early doors, you may want to pounce on missions that reward you with more powerful support troop types.

Away from the turn based action

When you initially drop into missions from the safety of the Ark Mechanicus you’ll move around an overhead map configuration of the current tomb with the ability to choose which of several paths you want to take towards the mission’s final combat showdown. Moving through tombs presents you with little story elements which detail the innards of the room you’re currently in and ask you to take actions to resolve whatever trap or ancient artefact you may have stumbled across. Your decisions here will either result in positive effects – extra CP or a wad of currency, for example – or see your troops taking damage or some other negative that you’ll then have to carry into battle.

For us, although these parts of the game are completely random in nature and are certainly the game at its mechanically weakest, they do manage to mix things up and feel central to fleshing out the world and giving the game a chance to show a little more of its brilliantly written characters. When Warhammer 40,000: Mechanicus originally released back in 2018 one of the main criticisms levied against it was the fact that in the latter half of the campaign your Tech-Priests would become massively overpowered, rendering combat against even the most brutal Necron foes all too easy and the final boss battle a complete washout.
