About Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War III

✦ AI summary

Command massive armies across a war-torn planet as Space Marines, Orks, or Eldar clash over a devastating weapon, piloting colossal war machines and unleashing catastrophic super-abilities. Customize your faction's elite squads and battle strategies through a branching campaign and competitive multiplayer where every conflict reshapes the balance of power.

Step into a brutal battle between three warring factions

In Dawn of War III you will have no choice but to face your foes when a catastrophic weapon is found on the mysterious world of Acheron.

With war raging and the planet under siege by the armies of greedy Ork warlord Gorgutz, ambitious Eldar seer Macha, and mighty Space Marine commander Gabriel Angelos, supremacy must ultimately be suspended for survival.

UNLEASH THE GIANTS

Take control of towering war machines and tip the balance of battle in your favor with the biggest characters in Dawn of War history. Turn the tide with the mighty Imperial Knight (Space Marine), the clattering Gorkanaut (Ork), or the haunting Wraithknight (Eldar).

COLOSSAL BATTLES

Dawn of War is famous for its epic action and those immense clashes are back - but now they're off-the-scale. Wage war with massive armies across violent volcanic terrain or mighty orbital Star Forts.

CALL UP YOUR ELITES

Take your battle plans to another level by deploying powerful collectible elite squads, each boasting their own special abilities and bonuses that will help you unlock and develop new attacking strategies to conquer your foes.

DESTRUCTIVE ABILITIES

Cause devastation on the battlefield with powerful super-abilities. Rain down total destruction on your enemies with the Space Marine's Orbital Bombardment, the Eldar's blistering Eldritch Storm or the Ork’s Rokks to counter your unsuspecting rivals.

THREE-FACTION CAMPAIGN

Learn what makes each force formidable through alternating missions. You'll soon come to understand the combat advantages of Space Marines, Orks, and Eldar and the rules of a universe with no heroes or villains… only war.

A NEW DAWN ONLINE

Your army will wreak havoc online. Join the multiplayer community and forge new alliances - or turn the tables on your new 'friends' as they become foes in explosive, chaotic and competitive maps.

ONE ARMY TO RULE

Customize your own universal army from the very first moment you are matched in a melee. Progress through battle after battle with loyal troops by your side across both challenging campaign missions and dominating multiplayer maps.

What Steam players say

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

✦ AI summary

Players appreciate the core RTS gameplay that avoids overwhelming squad micromanagement and find it enjoyable in concept, but the game is hampered by significant technical issues including bugs that persist from years past, poor UI design, and frequent crashes that make it frustrating to play. The experience is further soured by the sense that the developers have abandoned the project, leaving it in an unpolished state that compares unfavorably to earlier entries in the series, with unresponsive unit controls and clunky mechanics that undermine what could otherwise be a solid RTS.

It's pretty but shallow. almost 10 years old at the time of me writing this and there are still insanely inconvenient bugs associated with even just single player experience. Whenever you beat a Campaign mission, you get rewards for it but the rewards arent shown to you until the next time you launch the game, and the pop up that shows you what you unlocked is hard stuck on the screen without allowing you to do anything else unless you Alt+F4 out of the game and relaunch. An absurd absurd bug that absolutely should not exist in a game with this much obvious budget allocated to it. This is the thing that RTS devs just don't understand. We don't want "production value" from RTS. we want Clear visuals, Clean responsive controls over our units, and a solid connection to multiplayer.
