Warhammer 40,000: Mechanicus 2 review
Mechanicus 2 is a follow-up to the original Warhammer 40,000 strategy game, offering two campaigns featuring the Adeptus Mechanicus and necrons. While it introduces new elements like cover mechanics and named leaders, it lacks some of the charm and depth of its predecessor. Overall, it may appeal to necron fans but might not be as enjoyable for those who preferred the original's gameplay style.
- ▪Mechanicus 2 allows players to choose between two factions: the Adeptus Mechanicus and the necrons.
- ▪The game introduces cover mechanics and linear exploration, differing from the original's open-ended tomb exploration.
- ▪Players can only take one leader into battle, and if that leader dies, the mission must be restarted.
