Sept. 2024

If you have played Dawn of War (2004) and it's expansions, do not expect the large scale battles and base building of the first installation, but rather smaller and micromanagement tactics for multiplayer. The campaign no longer has base building and is replaced with a more tactical RTS with an RPG and weapons and equipment system that allows different builds for different playstyles. The campaign is also playable in co-op which allows for easier micromanagement during gameplay albeit with good coordination and teamwork. Dawn of War 2 just marked it's 15th anniversary, and received a major update to include Chaos Rising and Retribution and DLC in one package, even though Chaos Rising was included to DoW2 in a previous update. Although it sounds great in theory, it makes the entire package only a bit less expensive than buying them separately before. I applaud Relic Entertainment for updating Dawn of War 1 & 2 because those 2 games and expansions along with Company of Heroes series are the flagship games of Relic, Dawn of War 3 is hated by new and returning players because the developers did not know the core of what players love about DoW 1 & 2. and everyone who owns the games will receive a free update. Because Relic updated one of their flagship titles, I hope one day a true DoW 1 and 2 remaster/remake will be released which actually gives long time players what they want. Maybe a proper remake of DoW 3 will be made that actually is faithful to the first 2 games, and perhaps a proper DoW 4. Hope is the first step in the road to disappointment, but let hope become faith in the Emperor that he will help Relic give the players what they truly want, and restore them to and perhaps go beyond their former glory!

It's 2024, I've had this game in my library highly recommended by a friend for 15 years and decided to finally play it yesterday. It's 3am the next day and I don't want to stop. It's so good!!! I don't know why I didn't play it before, so regretting it now, wondering if I should get Dawn of War I and play that as well; I probably will! Highly recommended!!!

Aug. 2024

Excellent on the steamdeck! The story, graphics and gameplay all come together in this awesome game. This is a fantastic experience on the go. It does take some tweaking with the controls, but that's where the touchpad and back buttons on the steamdeck shine. GET THIS!

May 2024

Go to the game's configuration file, found in the documents/my games/ dawn of war 2/settings folder and set "raindetail" to 0. Game is absolutely nauseating without this fix. Other than that, a very fun experience.

March 2024

(Played this for 400 hundred hours before sometime when steam reset my play times.) Its more squad based RTS but still tactical and fun. I lot less involved with base building and resources. More fighty bits. Love the game. Would recommend for people looking for a good single player experience and or less involved RTS.
