What Steam players say

Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.

✦ AI summary

Players praise Dawn of War as one of the best RTS games ever made, with excellent voice acting, engaging campaigns that serve as good tutorials, and fun faction variety that encourages replayability. The main complaints center on somewhat clunky controls that require adjustment, audio mixing issues where unit callouts drown out mission instructions, and normal difficulty being too easy, requiring players to jump straight to Hard mode for a proper challenge.

Not recommended Aug 27, 2026
Warhammer Dawn of War from 2004 now bundled together in one entry. This game predated Steam's DLC feature so previously, you had four entries for the same game (but different expos). Now you just have one. It seems they've removed LAN functionality. Bad form. Leave it in, even if it's 'not used that often'. People still do have offline LAN parties. Sadly, this seems to be a very common practice for some reason. Now if you want to play this over LAN, you'll need to find your old disk versions (and at least patch 1.50 to remove SecurROM) or if you bought this before the update and delisting, you can still download the older client under 'W40K Dawn of War - Soulstorm' (which is not available for purchase anymore). If you really want to get this game, there isn't much sense in buying this version anymore. It doesn't play well on modern systems and they've stripped out what makes it useful while not really fixing anything else. You'll probably want the Definitive Edition which, 'conveniently', costs much more.

One of the best RTS games of all time, and maybe the single greatest Warhammer 40k game of all time if you include its expansions (specifically Dark Crusade). It captures the tone and feel of the setting perfectly in every regard, and kinda even the gameplay, Dawn of War isn't too far from being a real time version of tabletop 40k (at least, early 2000s tabletop 40k) with how cover and such work. There's a few rough edges due to its age, like there's no widescreen support in the base game or first expansion and it's missing a few hotkeys from more modern RTS games. The only thing I personally find to be persistently bothersome is unit pathfinding being a mess in close quarters, units can get stuck and block eachother, but even that comes up less than you'd think if you're multitasking well and not blobbing your army. Also kinda neat how this game is like an archaic prototype for Company of Heroes. Gameplay-wise Company of Heroes does almost everything better, but that being WWII feels more grounded and less bombastic, you miss out on the vibrant hero characters and super units available here. I prefer the insanity of 40k even if it's a bit less technically refined. If I ev…

This was the game that caused me to fall into the money pit of Warhammer 40k. As of 2026, i've spent over $20,000 on the tabletop game. I now own over 10,000 points of Blood Ravens and currently own 7 other factions of fully painted WH40k armies. it all started here and it's all Gabriel Angelos's fault.
