Warhammer® 40,000: Dawn of War® - Dark Crusade Reviews

Brilliant game, whilst yes 20 years old now, still amazingly fun and easy to grasp. Harder to master FOR THE EMPEROR/ DEATH TO THE FALSE EMPEROR (whatever your aligance is.)

it was ok I played each game completely vanilla on windows 10 and all 4 games (Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War - Anniversary Edition, Winter Assault, Dark Crusade, Soulstorm) booted up just fine they all had the same bug where every 20 - 40 minutes the screen would freeze up and the way to unstick it was to Ctrl+Esc then click back into the game so that was a little tedious however Dark crusade was extra bad where it was more like every 1 - 10 minutes the screen would freeze other issues are that moving your squads feels extremely similar to the old starcraft broodwar days of trying to make a mass of dragoons/goliaths to walk down a ramp (for those of you who don't know its pretty miserable) and other problems is sometimes your units just don't attack when they are right next to the enemy for some reason or a few times things would be invisible (I'm not talking about the intentional type of invisable such as cloaked units, Im talking about dropping a command center and after completing you are able to select a "barron" patch of ground to make units and whatnot with another issue is the super close camera view where you almost can't even see the entire range of some units because it is so close. the anniversary edition and winter assault also don't have widescreen support but supposedly mods have fixes for these video issues however I didn't use any of those last major problem I encountered on the soulstorm game is that after completing a level the game crashed and I lost about 2 hours of gameplay so I am not willing to replay that and it will get a negative recommendation other than those issues I actually liked the game enough to beat 3 of the 4 games

This game is great. I remember a night when I was a kid, and my buddy and I played it for 14 hours straight switching back and forth during the campaign. As it stands now, I don't play the game because I'm an adult and have obligations in my life. I have a job, an apartment, a woman who loves me, and if I want to keep these things, I have to stay away from this game like a junkie and his fix. I only have 78 minutes in this game because of this.

very good game! old graphics but well worth dealing with for its play style and unit choices

By far the best DOW DLC in the 1st installment, allows you to use the Necrons in multiplayer and has the IG as a faction. (You need winter assault to use the IG in multiplayer)

Good game with good replay value!!!

This is like the best Warhammer 40K RTS you can play right now. There seven races with their own unique playstyles to choose from. a fun campaign where your free to choose who to attack and conquer alongisde unique missions (like getting a certain number of kills or destroying a enemy base with a tank squadron) spread across the map alongside the strongholds. it very polished unlike soulstorm. there also commander banter and lore to read on the map which help immerse you. the only bad thing i can think of is that some of the maps are big and can be very hard and annoying to conquer, especially if their two enemy bases. but overall this a good 40k game and a RTS in general and absolutely worth buying and playing

choose between different races and battle for world domination. build your base quickly and take out the enemy before they overwhelm you in this strategy based game. fun game with all kinds of different cool features and effects varying with each race.

Fighting Necrons is torture. They come inside your base, die there, and from then on it's a cycle of constant respawning inside your base, and worst of it all their leader can turn into an ultimate unit and wreck your base on his own.

Crashes with no recovery of game being played. Unless you manually save during/after every battle it is stupid to play this game. I don't feel like doing what I JUST PLAYED THROUGH to start over again.
