Adeptus Titanicus: Dominus is a 3D turn-based strategy adaptation of Games Workshop’s Titan Legions tabletop game, which has been launched onto Steam early access.



About This Game

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.

Exciting, hahahahahahuaauaaa
Can someone please write an article on current state of game design studios (consolization passe vs mmoization and phonization trends) and PR/marketing platitudes related to it? Pretty please?

Also, can someone explain to me why noone is trying to find a cure for grumpiness? I'll apply as test patient.

That is pretty lame how the single player campaign seems to be mentioned simply as an afterthought. Based on that alone, I'd have to hear some pretty stellar reviews of the single player version to even contemplate picking this one up.

Because that would mean having to actually work with people who are grumpy - and no one wants to do that! :biggrin:

Still, looks way better than stupid BATTLETECH..

Are you referring to the universe or game? The game seems pretty good to me but I've only played about 8 hours so far. How many hours are you into the game?

No, wait, let me use my mighty predictive powers and answer that. Zero because you don't own it and are making another blanket statement based on little information.

I'm a huge fan of the WH40K universe, but this title is one of those 40K games we should never speak about anymore. One of the gameplay vids on youtube was so bad, I actually hurt me to watch it. The boredom seeped right out of the monitor.

I recommend Sanctus Reach instead. No titans so far, but knights.

At least you get a free DLC if you purchase it early.

If you purchase Adeptus Titanicus: Dominus during the early access phase, you will receive the first DLC, Biggus Dickus, for free.
