Today we’re getting one of the first looks at the new Adeptus Titanicus: Dominus video game and it looks amazing! Come check out the new 3D turn-based strategy game.
Games Workshop has teamed up with Membraine Studios to make the upcoming Adeptus Titanicus: Dominus video game. Today we’re getting our first look at some screenshots from the actual gameplay, as well as finding out what the game is all about.
Though the teaser didn’t show us much more than it’s coming soon and get the hype train started, we still got plenty of information on the upcoming game courtesy of Steam.
Adeptus Titanicus: Dominus, the 3D turn-based strategy PC game adaptation of Games Workshop’s classic Titan Legions tabletop game, puts you in control of the greatest weapons available to the Imperium of Man, the mighty Titans of the Adeptus Titanicus!
Coming soon to Steam Early Access, Adeptus Titanicus: Dominus features a Skirmish mode against an AI opponent for single-player and an online multi-player mode. Upon full release, the game will also offer an exciting single-player campaign.
Control a force of Titans
In Dominus, choose to control a force of Titans from the loyalist Legions of Astorum (Warp Runners), Gryphonicus (War Griffons), Crucius (Warmongers) or Osedax (The Cockatrices), or choose from the traitorous Chaos Legions of Mortis (Death Heads), Vulcanum (Dark Fire), Damnosus (Lords of Ruin) and Fureans (Tiger Eyes).Futuristic warfare
Utilising the tabletop Titan Legions rules system as its foundation, Dominus features an easy-to-play yet deep strategic and tactical experience via its streamlined command system, which sees you and your opponent giving activation orders to your Titans, resulting in fast-paced battles. It successfully marries this strategic play with action sequences as the gargantuan Titans exchange volleys of cannon shots, blistering laser blasts and other epic, super-powered weapons of the far off future!
Easy to play, challenging to master
While luck will play a part as you trade blows with your foe on the futuristic battlefields of the 41st Millennium, your path to victory lies in your army list building and how you manoeuvre your units upon the battlefield. As a commander, you will have access to the most classic, iconic Titan units from the Warhammer 40,000 universe: Warhounds, Reavers and the gigantic Warlord, for both the Imperial and Chaos factions. Each of these Titans will have multiple variants available, featuring different weapon configurations, thereby enabling your Titans to fulfil the battlefield role your strategy demands.A living battlefield
Adeptus Titanicus: Dominus will feature a “living battlefield” that employs unit and battlefield animations to show players the Warhammer 40,000 universe they know and love.
THE ROAD AHEAD
Over time, we plan to release a series of updates to the game as it progresses towards the full version of the title.
Update One (currently in development)
The first major update planned for Adeptus Titanicus: Dominus focuses on gameplay additions::
- Stress (suppression mechanics) – an additional layer of tactical concern that adds depth!
- Close Assault and Fire Fight – engage with your enemy in deadly close-quarters combat!
- Steam Achievements (first grouping)
- A loot-drop system (initial implementation)
- General quality-of-life improvements
The new Adeptus Titanicus: Dominus video game looks like it’s going to be a hit. Who doesn’t want to play a 3D game that is completely comprised of Titans? The game itself is still in production with the full release date being titled a “moving target”, but Early Access will be available for those who would like to test it in its current state to help the developers along the way.
Early access game options will include a single player Skirmish mode against AI and an online multiplayer mode, with a Campaign mode being released with the launch of the game. The overall theme of the game is based on the old Titan Legions tabletop game and will give players a look at battlefields of the 41st millennium as they command Warhounds, Reavers, and Warlord Titans. Each Titan will have different weapon configuration options and will be available for both Chaos and Imperial.
Overall, the new game looks like it’s going to be a success, but we will have to wait and see what happens after the launch. For now, this is all we know, but make sure you’re checking back in with us for the latest updates, we’ll be putting them out as soon as we get them.
