There is a better story telling element that has a little more interaction and an extra member of your team. What they add to the game is minimal, it’s mostly more of the same stuff you liked. However if you enjoyed DOW2 this game is most certainly for you. Well first off its a stand alone expansion which means you can get it on its own. So does what the game adds make it worth getting this expansion.
In a full play session I had three crashes. Speaking of far ahead of its time… WTF is Games for Windows doing here? Honestly get used to filling out this bad boy because with the always Online aspect this game… it’s heavily buggy. Even with my initial review two years ago I didn’t even see it as a strategy game.īut these days MOBAs are super common and so micro managing smaller groups of units with abilities is ‘all the rage.’ It’s entirely possible that much like the original Dawn of War, Relic was just too far ahead of the time. Instead of choosing to make a classical RTS they went with a format that people were REALLY unfamiliar. When Dawn of War 2 was released people were shocked by how… small it was. Dawn of War beat Half Life as game of the year and its continued expansion packs would be enormously popular. Warhammer 40K Dawn of War is easily one of the most successful RTS games out there.
