WARHAMMER 40K: MECHANICUS II

It's priests vs dwarfs vs skeletons in the battle for Hekatus 4

- By Ian Evenden

We've known Warhammer 40K's version of XCOM starring the gribbly transhuman weirdos of the Adeptus Mechanicus is getting a sequel for a while, but now there's a demo on Steam, and it's good to see that Bulwark Studios has embraced the Mechanicus' guiding philosophy by performing some upgrades.

The most notable is the repositioning of the turn queue from the top of the screen to the right, which somehow feels like a better place for it despite Baldur's Gate III's equivalent being at the top. The demo functions as the game's tutorial, so you're not faced with a huge amount of resistance, just a few Necrons.
