Original was great, but the upgrade is a shameless cash grab. I wanted to buy the older version Game of the Year versions for my friends but now it's $35 instead of like $5 on sale. Game is fun, but now it's been arbitrarily inflated in price despite being an old game and the old version was delisted because "graphics upgrade" that could've been modded in for free. EDIT: They re-added the older editions to Steam. I am changing my review to recommend this. Good juju upon the devs and team.

The game itself works just fine on Linux, technically. I can play it, run a match, or do the first campaign. Didn't even need to proton it. The problem lies within the fact that the game does not recognize the existence of the expansions. I can't even begin to guess why, as playing it via Soulstorm works just fine on my machine when it comes to playing a skirmish or the soulstorm campaign. This means playing the Dark Crusade campaign as intended, from any faction save Soulstorm's additions, is out of the question. A shame, since I remember it fondly from when I was a kid. Look, just avoid this one. If you were considering replaying DoW, there is a remaster coming out sometime in August of 2025 according to the steam storefront. One executable, 64 bit, better graphics. Hold out for that.

Best RTS series after StarCraft, plus, it's Warhammer, i'm baffled to know there is not more games on this series. 8/10, would shoot Orcs from a hole again.

The Emperor's RTS, Still Glorious! This reminds us why this RTS became a Warhammer 40K legend. Brutal, fast-paced, and dripping with grimdark atmosphere, it traded base-building monotony for front-line aggression and squad tactics. Every faction—especially the iconic Space Marines—felt distinct, with animations, voice lines, and units that oozed personality and purpose. This edition bundles all expansions, making it the definitive version and a treasure trove of classic RTS gameplay. Even after all these years, DOW 1 holds strong—visually aged, yes, but mechanically razor-sharp. For Warhammer fans or RTS veterans, this isn’t just nostalgia—it’s still one of the most satisfying battlefield experiences in the genre. For the Emperor!

Remember getting the game from the store and spending the trip home reading through the manual. Can't wait for the remaster. This was my gateway drug into plastic crack. Be warned.

Look, I loved this game back in the day when it first came out and dropped a lot of hours on it. But it did not age well. The HUD, resolution, and blocky art style is really rough these days. It's still great content for your dollar, with loads of expansions and lengthy campaigns, but I would definitely get at a discounted price until an enhanced edition or remake comes out.

Engaging story driven single player campaign: ✓ 😊 Unprecedented realism: X Lol nope 🤣 Visceral cinematic melee and ranged combat: ✓ 😳 Dynamic multiplayer: X dead multiplayer 🙄 I would highly recommend this game because it is the best Dawn of War game. However it is old. Almost as old as StarCraft 1. Never buy this old game at full price. Only get it on sale. In fact don't buy this at all. If you want to play this game wait for the release of Dawn of War Definitive edition. I am "PATIENTLY" waiting for the devs to make a Dawn of War 4. In the format of the legendary Dawn of War 1.
