Nov. 2024

My hours may look low, but that's because its the anniversary edition. I've played them all for more than 1500 hours total. An all time classic with even better mods, fantastic campaigns and skirmish Dawn of War is good any fan of strategy or 40k.

Sept. 2024

This is not a new version or remaster of Dawn of War. This is just a repackaged version of the original game without you needing to buy each standalone expansion. There is some tweaking you will wanna do to get this working on modern hardware and high resolutions (UI will be a consistent issue) Step 1: get a mod to increase the zoom for the camera Step 2: install a mod for the soulstorm expansion that ports the campaigns for the vanilla game and winter assault into the soulstorm client (this will allow you to use higher resolutions) Step 3: the graphics and sound quality by default are set pretty low. you will want to change those, and in additon youll want to set up the launch parameter -forcehighpoly Step 4: head into the Local.ini file and add fullres_teamcolour=1 to one of the lines. If you're willing to go through all that, Dawn of War 1 is one of the finest RTS experiences ever made, and the modding community is absolutely worth a look.

Sept. 2024

If you'e played StarCraft, you'll figure out how to play this game pretty quickly. There are mechanics differences yes and I'm sure the meta is completely different when it comes to strategy, but at the end of the day it's an RTS game using Warhammer 40k units. Allegedly, Warhammer served as inspiration for StarCraft (Space Marines = Terrans, Tyranids = Zerg, Eldar = Protoss). I only really played the campaign of this game but I enjoyed it. I had never played the tabletop version of 40k before so this game was basically a complete introduction to the Warhammer 40k universe and lore for me, at least from the Space Marine perspective. You only play as Space Marines in the campaign (specifically, the Blood Raven faction). You can play as other races but only in multiplayer, or single skirmishes against CPU. As I understand, in the expansions there were more playable races for campaign mode. I enjoyed this game enough to get at least some of the expansions next time I see them on sale. I especially want to try the Dark Eldar expansion.

July 2024

Dawn of War is the legendary classic that started it all. Yes, this RTS may be old and outdated but is still MILES better than that pathetic Dawn of War 3. The campaign is the best part, while a dedicated multiplayer community can be found in Soulstorm modding. For many it was their first contact with the Warhammer 40.000 franchise, as it was for me back in 2009-ish. I still have the box and disc but for some reason damn Steam did not accept my codes for this and Dark Crusade. I have lost count how many times I completed DoW before Steam. Dozens of hours or more. This game is absolutely great. The voice acting is outstanding, the music is iconic, huge armies fighting which is can only be found in DoW and its expansions, oh and the sweet kill animations are just the cherry on top~! While Starcraft and Warcraft got lost in their endless chase for balance, Dawn of War has chosen stupid mad fun! Just build a large army and observe the carnage. The "Company of Heroes"-esque tactics are a a nice touch and do give an edge, but it is the fireworks that matter. Good game but Dark Crusade is when DoW peaked. Play it.

Feb. 2024

Good game and story. If you want all the races and just want to play multiplayer/skirmish, just get soulstorm dlc.
