Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II - Anniversary Edition (Classic)

This game is incredible. I hope the fourth installment is similar... because we don't talk about the third one.

Shame! Was just starting to have fun on the campaign when I came up against a game breaking bug - the interface on the squad deployment screen doesn't work on wide screen monitors! All I wanted to do was select my jumpy boys for the Eldar mission. WAAAAGGGH!

Great game for its age. Story is top notch. RPG elements make you wanna try different combinations and tactics.

Initially sorta fun 40k squad-based RTS. By the end the balance, even on normal difficulty, completely flys out of the window. Massively inflated health pools and one shot boss fights. I'm talking a standard orc squad having around 10x the health of my tankiest troops in terminator armor. And inexplicably the same chaff units doing more damage the later in the game. Levelling up doesn't make you more powerful, it means you barely keep up. Pathfinding is all screwed up too. Try and melee vehicles and your troops spend genuinely over half the time moving out of the way of the vehicle politely while it shoots at them. It's not company of heroes. Its just 40k slapped on a buggy engine not intended for 40k. It has very little merit as a game, if it weren't for the expensive IP slapped on it. If just seeing space marines and bullets do it for you, maybe get it on deep discount and play on Easy. But it's not a game that handles challenge well.

This was a absolutely brilliant game till the update, and then they broke it !!!! now it does not work !!!

En este juego controlas a un grupo de "heroes" de los cuervos sangrientos. No es como el primero en el que podías crear bases y controlar a un ejercito, a mi parecer a empeorado con respecto al primero ya que se hace muy repetitivo.

This game is perfect for anyone who’s into real-time strategy with a lot of action, even if you don’t really know much about the Warhammer 40k lore. As you play, you start to understand what they’re fighting for and who they’re fighting for, no spoilers needed. Back in the day, this game really impressed me. I got so into it that I didn’t even take the time to properly write a review. And Retribution? Shame, that one’s also really good, carries on the experience nicely. For me, when it comes to strategy games, this one could easily take a bunch of awards. I became a fan of the whole franchise after playing it, ended up getting hooked on the story. For those who don’t know it yet, just go check it out, even if it’s just a quick wikipedia search. It’s not just another strategy game, it’s basically a work of art.
