There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
It's just up to 4 squads under your command, so it's all about the strategy of using these squads and then leveling them up for new abilities, getting war loot to beef them up, and devising your overall strategies. If you are a typical RTS fan, you may be disappointed (as you can see from a lot of the reviews here) because of these differences. But if you like the idea of an RTS but never found any that were fun because juggling building, teching up, and multiple battles all at once sounds more like work than fun, then this might be the game for you too.
Pros:
- small amount of units under your control, making it all about strategy and not about who builds more/faster
- excellent graphics, sounds and voice, and really compelling atmosphere (I wasn't even a warhammer fan before this game)
- fun squad persistence and powerups
- great mulitplayer
Cons:
- no base building (if you are into that sort of thing)
- yes it requires Steam and Windows Live (DON'T buy a used copy for this reason, if someone played it, then it is tied to their Steam Account)
- The campaign is only the Blood Ravens, no other races can be played in the single player. (the campaign was tons of fun though)
The things I loved was that the graphics were much more detailed now for when you zoom in to get a better look at the characters. I also loved the improved sound effects, and how most of the environment was destructible. you could order your troops to go inside buildings and take up sniping positions, or call down a Orbital Strike and level a whole neighborhood and wipe out dozens of enemy troops in the process. I was loving it because it made it feel more realistic with how the weapons you use can do as much damage to the surrounding area as much as to your enemy.
What I didn't really like was that not the gameplay seems to be a step down. in the first game you had a gigantic map and you could have up to 8 players at once. when you played with bots, you could choose where they started out. have them on the opposite side of the map as you, or have them as your neighbor, forcing you to build up your military strength as fast as possible since your enemy's base is only 20ft away from yours. you could chose how many factions you had fighting all at once. when fighting the Forces Of Chaos, the Orks/Elder would suddenly storm in and attack both you and Chaos as the same time. leading to a huge blood bath. but in Dawn Of War 2, you can have 6 players at once but only 2 sides instead of 4. meaning when you choose a 3rd species, they can only be on your side or the enemy's, they cant be a 3rd or 4th faction that'll both help you can fight against you at the same time. but then again, it depends on which mode your playing. the maps are a lot smaller now, and you cant deploy as many troops onto the battlefield as you used to. you can only have a little over a dozen troops now instead of almost a hundred per player. this is what I meant by saying the gameplay is a little bit of a step down. I loved the gigantic battles and having legions of my troops swarming over the battlefield like a flood. it felt like you've created an unstoppable army that could conquer any enemy.
I'm not saying this is a terrible game, but not as fun as the first one. but then again, this is just the first game and it's possible the DLCs offer a little more.
