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

Great campaign and VA, one of the greats for a reason

I'm just here to do what I should've a while ago. I have 3K hours on soulstorm, and this series of games is the greatest simple RTS ever made. Hopefully the 4th game will shake the curse of the 3rd, it'll be really funny if Total War 40K will be the only 40K strategy game worth playing. This game is great and one of the titles I recommend everyone give a try. I hope DoW4 isn't ♥♥♥♥.

Started with a small squad and a simple mission. Capture some points. Build a base. Kill some enemies. Seemed reasonable. 20 minutes later, the entire map was on fire and I had somehow built an army capable of committing several war crimes at once. The Emperor would be proud. Probably. The gameplay is still incredibly satisfying. Capture territory, gather resources, reinforce your squads and slowly turn a peaceful piece of land into a military disaster. The battles get progressively more ridiculous as you unlock bigger weapons and stronger units. Eventually you stop asking whether your strategy makes sense and start asking whether you have enough Space Marines. The answer is always no. 10/10. For the Emperor. Also for the enemy base. Mostly the enemy base.

As a dude who's only played space marine 2 and was sceptical that this game is even better than space marine 2, I can say that this game is the best intereduction to the warhammer 40k universe, but, I you want to get the game you will need to choose between to two editions of it: 1. Dawn of War anniversary edition 2. Dawn of War definitive edition Anniversary edition gives you the ports of all of the originals, but without the multiplayer Definitive edition gives you a mixture of all of them with remastered graphics and multiplayer, but runs poorly on weaker hardware You pick and choose (BTW If you see negative reviews mentioning anti-cheat usage in this game, I couldn't find any anti cheat in the files or EULA)

Old game, but, still has good play
