enjoyable without the knowledge of Warhammer lore?

[BomiBoogie]

I've received the game from HB (and I like the genre anyways), and was wondering how enjoyable is it without proper knowledge of WH lore and previous WH games?
I saw there are many, I just wasn't into them before.

Your replies are appreciated. :)

I honestly starting without knowing anything about lore. I do enjoy it so far. At the very least I know the basics of this game.

[mathematiciansPlayStrategyGames]

Knowing the lore is only slightly helpful. The game itself is excellent. Only flaw is that the late game is very easy unless you've been badly mauled by the early game. But it is still fun in the late game even after the challenge goes down.

I know a small amount about 40k lore but nothing about the adeptus mechanicus and its BLOODY INTERESTING

Im loving it.

This game also links to nothing else

Same as you. I know just the very tip of the 40k lore and i am enjoying the hell out of this so far.

If i were you, just watch a quick 7 or 10 min video on who the Adeptus Mechanicus are, it will help with the dialog between the main characters but is not necessary.

I had some minor knowlegde, but knew nothing about the Adeptus Mechanicus. This game is very well written and reading the dialogue in between the mission is a blast. You'll get to know everything about the Adeptus Mechanicus and its weird techno-cleric-man-machine-things in game. In fact not knowing what a "noosphere" or an "Omnissiah" is only increased the mystique for me.

The developers have outdone themselves. The Mechanicus Order ist a fine choice for the player faction because they represent the dark, superstitious and inhumanist science fiction nature of the WH40k universe perfectly. If you know nothing about this world, then this game is a perfect introduction. If you know something already, you will enjoy the lore and the characters all the same.

I'd go so far as to say Mechanicus is the single best WH40k game when it comes to immersion, story, and lore presentation.

Warhammer 40K games aren't really related to one-another unless they're in a series.

Most games are one-offs by random developers and are their own enclosed little parts of the 40K universe that have nothing to do with each other.

Thank you for the feedback everyone, I will watch a video on Adeptus Medicus, but otherwise, will get into the game without worry. :)

I'm not sure whether I'd recommend this game to someone who has little to no knowledge about Warhammer 40k.

The game is really immersive.
The way they talk, their mannerism, everything is so well done, it can be sometimes exhausting to listen to.

Okay, then I'll watch even more videos. :)

Hi, I recommend checking something like this:
https://warhammer40k.fandom.com/wiki/Adeptus_Mechanicus

At least the short introduction, if you don't want to read the hole article. I recommend to learn about the Mechanicus only after you know what WH40K is about, which is The Emperor, what was the Horus Heresy and that. A couple google searching and like 10 minutes reading may suffice.

Anyway probably not necesary, but who knows, maybe you enjoy it too.
If you ended up loving the game and the lore, maybe we have won another WH40K adept, hehehe. I started in this thing with one old game, and ended up liking the lore a lot and reading some books about different factions etc. I enjoy this thing a lot. And there are a lot of WH40K lore videos out there too.

One example of many is this Adeptus Mechanicus video, from the Imperium of Man Lore series of a Youtuber:

Thank you Valmar, I'll check it out!
