Mechanicus puts you in control of an array of Adeptus Mechanicus forces for the first time ever as you lead your priests and troops on a tactical quest to salvage ancient technologies from the mysterious tombs of the planet Silva Tenebris. As Magos Dominus Faustinius of Mars, your every decision will shape the missions ahead and have far reaching consequences for you and your team.

In-game, Mechanicus will enable you to overcome these ‘human weaknesses’ to upgrade your troops with augments that will replace their human limbs with bionics and mechadendrites. These will provide mechanical and tactical advantages as you progress throughout the game.

Kasedo Games, in connection with developers Bulwark Studios, are also pleased to reveal that the Adeptus Mechanicus troops will face-off against the skeletal forces of the Necrons as their quest for technology and knowledge intensifies on the planet of Silva Tenebris.

In the first gameplay to be shown since its announcement last month, players will select their team of Tech-Priests on the Ark Mechanicus battleship ‘Caestus Metalican’ and upgrade them with a wide array of augments before embarking on their chosen mission.

Check out a example of a vast and treacherous Necron tomb with the unique exploration and combat mechanics within the tactical turn-based gameplay also on display.

Players will come up against a variety of Necron forces in Mechanicus. Remorseless Necron Warriors, ghoulish Flayed Ones and the gauss cannon wielding Immortals will be just a few of those on display at GDC who stand in the way of an Adeptus Mechanicus victory. Fight back using high-tech Ad-Mech weaponry such as the Valkite Blaster and Eradication Ray or use Servo Skulls, Servitors or Skitarii to join you in battle and gain the tactical edge.

Warhammer 40,000: Mechanicus is in development for PC, Mac & Linux, scheduled for a late 2018 release.
