Warhammer 40,000: Mechanicus Review ? Long Turns Aplenty
Mechanicus is a turn-based tactical strategy game, where combat takes place on a grid from an isometric vantage point. A lot of turn-based games allow players to move a character once, and then attack if possible, also once. Not so with Mechanicus. Characters generally have a large range of movement, and a shared resource called Cognition Points can be used to move a character even further. Furthermore, a well-equipped character may have multiple attacks or commands which do not use Cognition Points, merely cooldown timers (or no cooldown at all). This means a typical turn might consist of moving two squares to get in range of a pistol, attacking, then acquiring Cognition Points from a nearby tower, and moving back out of range of the enemy?s weapons. There are a lot of options at the player?s disposal, though naturally these same tactics are available to the computer, which higher difficulties exploit.
