However now, planet Aurelia, thought to have been lost to the Warp, it's inhabitants destroyed and the planet reduced to a ball of ice, has returned. It was fun, unique, and it has spawned an expansion pack.ĭawn of War 2: Chaos Rising takes place a year after the events in the original game, after the threat to the sector has been wiped out. It was a tactical experience, focusing more on micro management of individual squads, levelling them up between story missions that saw no base building or resource management, but complex firefights and evolving characters.
Hopefully the next game will be better.Dawn of War 2 came out as a sequel heavily diverging from what its predecessor had created. So it's not a true RTS, but rather an RTS/RPG hybrid. In regular RTS's, you don't get to do that, each squad has a specialty, and you know their abilities. You choose equipment for each character, and decide what each character brings. Second, the campaign is more of an RTS/RPG hybrid rather than a true RTS. This needs a serious fix in the next game. You choose four for each mission and you're stuck with them. No building squads, no calling in reinforcement squads, nothing. In DOW II, you get a few squads, and that's it, you're stuck with them. This is a step down from DOW I, where you could actually command armies. The thing that I didn't like about this game was that it had very small army sizes, and VERY small battles. And, of course, the fact that it features the Imperium. That and how the gameplay revolves more around combat rather than resource gathering. The graphics are a huge improvement over DOW I and any other RTS I've ever played (and I've played most of the major ones, SC2, Company of Heroes, Supreme Commander I and II, etc etc). The graphics are a huge improvement over DOW I and any other RTS I've ever I think the best thing (in my eyes) of this game is the graphics. I think the best thing (in my eyes) of this game is the graphics. The game immerses players in an in-depth non-linear single-player campaign and a fully-co-operative multiplayer mode.
