The game certainly sounds amazing, with crisp sound effects and an excellent soundtrack, but the same can't always be said of the visuals. Gamespot's Daniel Starkey is less forgiving, noting that the single-player campaign is just a glorified tutorial, and pointing out that in spite of a quality multiplayer, the game is sprinkled with flaws:ĭawn of War III doesn't quite keep up with its predecessors' pedigree of high production values. Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War III has risen, and the time of Space Marine, Eldar, and Ork has begun.

It would have been nice to have more victory conditions than the one we’re presented, but the one we have is still capable of soaking up a dangerous amount of time from players. Multiplayer is as strong as it has ever been, and players will be immediately sucked into it as they seek to dominate their opponents with their favorite factions. The focus on Elite units differentiates Dawn of War III from its competitors by introducing a new sense of depth and progression into the game. The campaign, which ultimately serves as a glorified tutorial, is entertaining and lengthy enough to keep players hooked for hours even though it’s predictable.

Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War III successfully takes the best elements from the previous two games and blends them with traditional RTS mechanics to create a game with deep strategic gameplay. A new Dawn of War has risen, and it’s an exciting return from a long dormant franchise.
