r/mechanicus

The game rating is pretty poor and the Player base seem quite better in general at the foundational design choices. There is no DLC im sight as of yet and unlike the first game there is very little media attention to the game.

And offcours the music, the reason the first one get so much love and attention, is quite subpar.

The game sold around 2000 copies. And i couldn't finya budget for the game but it seems the game wasn't a financial failer.

With all this in mind, do you think the devs would be interested to make another one?

I personally think they could regain fans goodwill by reverting back to first game style, maybe even ading new factions (that vashtor guy seems pretty good pick, and you know, we can't not have Chaos in a Warhammer game)

What do you think? Would you give devs another chance? Or be interested in dlcs?

I log in, go to the game page, and it has negative, and more recently, overwhelmingly negative reviews? Whats the lore here?

Im not asking if i should or should not buy the game. I have already bought it months ago despite not having played it (i was... Busy) because i like supporting studios i like.

But it seems like this time around the game failed? What about the OST? Not even that deserves a like?

Oh well, I'll get to it once i have something that can actually play it. Game crashes on my Steam Deck.

I started playing the first one and loved it; I think it's a work of art. I bought the second one, and I don't mind that it's not a carbon copy, but I really feel like they made it so that every battle feels exactly the same. The dialogue doesn't change even if you use different heroes, and since you can change their builds, all the heroes really feel like tanks. I only remember one with stealth; some have ranged attacks, others frontal attacks, but there's really no sense of variety or that you're actually doing anything with the story. It seems like you're just playing the same scenario over and over again to get crumbs of lore.

I personally believe that the wave of negative reviews on Steam is completely justified. I don't know why the studio made that decision, but it does seem strange that they haven't said or stated anything despite everything.

I've read a lot of threads complaining about the brutal beginning. I got this game for Steam sale and I tend to dislike brutally difficult games. Will this game tend to be frustrating?

Im playing the first mechanicus game for the first time and loving it. This one of my favorite type of games and I like the unique things this one brings.

My main magos is an explorator built for melee combat. The problem is, im still rocking the starting omnissian power axe.

I have completed 17 missions and am 49% awakening. Killed one boss so far and unlocked lots of cool stuff. I have a large number of ranged weapons to choose from but have not unlocked a single melee weapon yet.

Definitely wish they did gear unlocks differently in this game but im curious if my bad luck is just that: bad luck; or if this is a common experience.

are the quotes on the loading screen from a real lore source or "made up" for the game ?

if they are sourced, where can I look them up ?

Did Scaevola just one shot Faustinius and then take over the story? Am I missing something? Is Faustinius just dead regardless of what we do? Is the entire game really just about Scaevolas choice?
