I would recommend Dawn of War I over this. Both for reasons Warhammer and gameplay. So if you want to play a more traditional and medium-to-large scale RTS, chose Dawn of War I instead of this.
Dawn of War II is more MOBA than RTS at its core.
Even the intros were better in the first series. One of which was epic Space Marine doing fuckin cool last stand on a torn barren epic looking landscape vs This hot mess of gigajaw Rambo looking nobody killing lady looking elves in some wonderland forest just to get screwed over by some space bug thingy (aka Tyranid but you don't get to play them in this whatsoever) like a absolute fuckin idiot.
Edit: what kind of Steam moderation hides the word F U C K I N G ?
Warhammer 40 000: Dawn of War II - with achievements .... time come to replay this great game again.
Working great on both windows or macos - including progress synchronization.
I used to love this game and recently gave it a shot again with the DoW 2 campaign. I got quite far and then all the bugs from 15 years ago started rearing their heads. Missions had errors so it couldn't load them, and the latest is that I now have no more missions and thus no way to progress.
It's such a shame, as it was one of the best 40k games to date =(
Dawn of War 2 delivers a thrilling and tactical real-time strategy experience, stepping away from traditional base-building mechanics in favor of a more squad-focused approach. Set in the Warhammer 40,000 universe, it excels in fast-paced combat, where you control elite squads of soldiers across strategic maps. The diverse factions, including Space Marines, Orks, and Eldar, each bring unique gameplay elements, making battles feel distinct and dynamic.
The single-player campaign is engaging, with a solid narrative and a series of increasingly intense missions. The progression system allows you to customize your units, making each encounter feel rewarding. However, the lack of a base-building mechanic might feel limiting to some fans of the genre.
Multiplayer is where Dawn of War 2 truly shines, with tactical depth and a steep learning curve that rewards strategic thinking. While the overall experience is stellar, some may find the combat occasionally repetitive and the AI in single-player a bit predictable. Nonetheless, Dawn of War 2 stands as a polished, entertaining RTS with excellent combat and strong multiplayer.
Rating: 8/10
Just finished the campaign of the base game, definitely can say its a awesome game... i wouldn't have called it Dawn of War if number 1 was your thing, maybe give it a different name.
Really cool took inspiration from Company of Heroes and more close up squad based but really good, you can feel the impacts of the bullets and explosiona, would definitely give it a try.
Unless your heretic scum?
This might be still the best of the Dawn of War titles. Hours of play and an interesting story. It is a classic in my opinion.
I literally can't play it. It locks up my computer and makes it so that I can't click anything unless I restart.
Great classic game, runs good on modern hardware and software (windows 10)
Base game:
I was hoping for an RTS sequel to the first Dawn of War (for the single-player campaign). Kinda disappointed at first when there was no base building and different units to use. This is more like a real-time tactical squad role-playing game.
Played a few missions, and to my surprise, I actually enjoyed the RPG and real-time tactics element. What better way to capture the strength of space marine when you lead 3 other squads to defeat a full-scale Tyranid when Ork and Eldar constantly sabotage your defense.
There are so many different play styles depending on the squads you bring, the skills you choose, and the weapons and equipment you carry. Bringing the right weapons makes the fight so much easier (I once used bolters on a vehicle boss fight, and that really took forever)
The game also has an amazing soundtrack. Beat the original campaign three times (one on Primarch, one on Recruit to grind the "Legend" achievement, and one Sergeant playthrough when the base game was given away for "free" on Amazon Prime), and I am still not tired of the soundtrack!
Great dialogue design as well. I really enjoyed them whenever party pooper Cyrus spoke, lmao.
This game might be a nightmare for achievement hunters because 1/3 of the achievements are related to co-op or online multiplayer, so be aware if you don't have friends and want to 100% this game.
Now, if you excuse me, I have some Chaos Space Marine to kill!
Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II - Chaos Rising
Chaos Rising introduces Chaos Space Marines as the most prominent threat. The campaign story continues after the original Dawn of War II game. Story-wise, Chaos Rising is well-written.
They made a few changes to the campaign: Introduced a corruption meter, added some new war gears (related to corruption and redemption), broke up supply crates into three categories, reduced the energy regen on all squads, changed the difficulty setting (on the hardest difficulty, the enemy no longer do ridiculous damage, but their health is greatly increased, this makes some fight really long.), and had a set number of missions you can play.
I really liked the design of the corruption meter. It gives you different ways to play the game. Corrupting wargears are powerful, but they will add to the corruption meter. Once a squad is fully corrupted, there is no more redemption. Some of the missions also give you corruption and redemption objectives.
Chaos Rising has a lot of multiplayer achievements, so be aware if you want to 100% this game (and have no friends).
They deleted my old account, for the anniversary edtion.... Wasted lot of hours, top levels characters...
Looks like the aggressive campaign feature that tracks days will also delete the entire campaign if the game has an error while playing. 20 hours, poof gone. Only option is to restart campaign.
This game is a Classic imo and well worth your game time. You can even play co-op in the campaign storyline.
Game play, Story and Graphics has aged well for a game that released in 2009. I replayed the original campaign again in 2024 (coz I recently played and completed DoW1 original campaign).
When comparing DoW1 and DoW2. DoW2 is more RPG/Real-time Tactics genre, where DoW1 is focused on RTS genre and its not a bad thing. They're just both different yet good in their own way.
If you're going to play this game in 4K resolution, I highly recommend to download a mod to scale the UI larger and use something like Yolomouse(if you have it) to better cursor visibility.
"Dawn of War II Anniversary Edition" release wiped all my online profile concerning "Last Stand" and Multiplayer modes which is a shame since I spent many hours in its online modes. DoW2's 3rd expansion "Retribution" (which is not part of "Anniversary Edition")still have my online profile saved, so thank goodness for that.
I was an autistic 18 year old and and only wanted to play the engineer and build that dumb gun. idk why but i thought it was so cool and that thing sucked so bad its all i did LOL
For the emperor
its a brilliant game.
my only criticism is the random loot drops.
Superb RTS game. Also the storyline is amazing!
Takes the Relic ethos of Micro-Heavy RTS combat and runs with it. The campaign feels like an RTS-RPG, and it's much better for it. It feels more dynamic than most RTS campaigns, which typically revolve around death-ball building and slow rolling levels.
Btw it's still worth playing RTS especially if you like old school Blizzard's style squad missions over typical economical fast phase base/army building from DoW1 and many others games in the same genre. A lot of details and attention to Warhammer 40k, but unfortunately missing certain factions (like my favorite Tau or Imperial Guards) and obviously zero support here after two DLCs and DoW3 released.
Still, the game will pay off for its price and quality even with its graphics, even in 2025-2030 I believe or until we will see a decent DoW4 or Total War in 40k, but let's be fair because we won't.
Does not work on modern systems.
I love this game and its mods and its co op mode where I can be a tau or tyranid with my friends. Please make a followup game that isn't dawn of war 3. If I could have just a dawn of war 1 or 2 sequel that was as good as those two games, I'd be so happy with the tech we have at our disposal today and the faithful fanbase, modders, etc. Also I don't know why it only shows like 3 and a half hours, I definitely have played WAY more than that lol.
I saw retribution was delisted, turns out it was folded into this. Already had and beaten all these, but the last stand is really cool to occasionally come back to
Aid the mysterious Blood Ravens defeat an Ork Waaagh, the scheming shenanigans of the Eldar and the omni-munching of the Tyranids, all while stealing other (more prominent) chapters' stuff..
First and foremost: This will be a review considering the single player campaign of the game. I did play some multiplayer back in the days, but today I would expect the online games to be few and far in between..
Dawn of War is a natural continuation of the first Dawn of War where the suspiciously well equipped Blood Ravens fought back a chaos uprising while splurting oneliners and breaking all sorts of 40k-canon. This time the main foe is the relentless hive mind of the tyranid swarm that threatens to devour the sector in its unyielding omnivorous streak of galactic domination. However, both the sly and hi-tech Eldar as well as the ferocious battle mushrooms, da Orkz, have shown up in the sector for better and for worse. Who will end up victorious in this swirling battle of domination, and will the mystery of the Blood Ravens finally unravel?
The gameplay is a bit different from the first game in that you control a “hero” type character tied to a specific unit of known space marine formations. For example you have the sneaky scouts, the heavy weapon devastators and the boring but versatile tactical marines. Between missions you level up your main dude as well as equip your units with weapons and armor, tactical orbital bombardments and handgrenades, all to better subdue your foes in the name of the emperor. While on planetside you have your more standardised RTS but with an emphasis on tactical cover and item recovery. The unit's unique abilities and items make the game quite different depending on your choice of skills, yet some enemies require certain abilities to take down efficiently, so choose wisely..

Now, the general gist of the game is a positive one, especially if you enjoy RTSes and the grim darkness of the 40k. However, this game can get a bit grindy, especially on the higher difficulties which more or less makes defending objectives pointless. My solution to this would be, play it for the story at a lower difficulty, unless you really love running back and forth across the map to respawn and resupply.. The story is rather cheesy, but not completely without merit. I would love to see a bit more nuance in the space marines since they are more or less all grumpy old men, but then again I am of the notion that the empire is the most boring part of 40k anyways, and yet the most popular by far..
In the end this is a weak but sturdy recommendation. Nowadays you get it all for real cheap during a sale, and honestly with a coop-buddy to take the edge of the otherwise monotonous setting up and tearing down coverfire it is an enjoyable romp across a warridden sector. However, be aware that its solution to difficulty is basically making everything a bullet sponge, and if you find that to be obnoxious, go for an easier difficulty and enjoy mowing down hormagaunts like there is no tomorrow..
Interesting story and tactical gameplay. This one is squad based, you can customize your party and level them up.
This game is a Classic imo and well worth your game time. You can even play co-op in the campaign storyline.
Game play, Story and Graphics has aged well for a game that released in 2009. I replayed the original campaign again in 2024 (coz I recently played and completed DoW1 original campaign).

Overall this game was a nostalgia treat personally, since I last completed the campaign back in 2009.
noiceeeee
Gameplay is amazing but is dead. i cant find any matchs for online
Great game, but now the steam version bricks my desktop. Buy it on GOG.
One of the best, I hate that they didn't continue DW3 to be like this one
Overhead squad based RTS. Choose your specialists and their loadout as you loot new gear. Heavy replayability if you like this genre. PVP is available. Enemies are dynamic and tactical. With different types of enemies and terrain, no 'encounter' is the same. Use cover and buildings. Destructible environments, to include your cover (or theirs.)
Best Campaign I play for years and years now!
Not an RTS, it's more of a small squad tactics based RPG. Nowhere near as much depth as the original DoW, yet not as bad as the catastrophe that was DoW III.
WARNING !
DO NOT BUY UNLESS YOU WANT TO REPLACE FOLDER FILES!
its the only game in the franchise that will not work on modern hardware.
Back in '09 this game had me sinking hours into it after uni. Getting back into it with this Anniversary Edition has been a bliss.
Campaign is ahead of its time with engaging characters you get attached to, meaningful gameplay where units feel powerful and precious, rogue-lite elements with level up and loot. You have to plan your gear and crew according to mission brief and always be tactical about your choices. You get to experience a fun story with this campy W40K "it's stupid but we're very serious about it" style.
Anniversary comes with Chaos Rising DLC which is more of the same, "if it's not broke don't fix it" campaign.
[Obligatory "why did they had to spoil everything with the terrible DoW3" paragraph.]
Still holds up very well, and unique in its approach. Hope they'll make a rightful sequel one day...
Imagine thinking that Warhammer is a good RTS franchise.
So much fun
It is an old game that looks, plays and feel better than almost anything I've played IN YEARS. Characters are cool, the story is awesome, the gameplay is fun and it looks way better than you might expect. Also, it is so cheap... I love it. If you like games like Starcraft 2, try it. The gameplay is pretty much like the hero missions.
This game taught me that if someone is rude to you, send 50 angry and violent marines to their home. and watch as they fuck it up
The best in the Dawn of War series.
Amazing game, great story, I dont wanna say more because everyone should play this game raw going in
It's still good.
NOT l LIKE THE ORIGINAL GAMES! If you can get past that and just have fun, its a good game.
super cool fun game
For fans who didn't mind the style change between the two dawn of war strategy games
Kinda disappointed. After three missions in singleplayer you get to feel how repetitive it is. Always some OP boss you need to kill. Upgrading feature was the only thing that kept me going, but at some point I just got tired. If you grew up with DoW 1 then I wont recommend this one. Theres no base building anymore and maps are tiny, meant for 4 squad gameplay.
Still great 15 years later
Warhammer 40k universe is immersive and interesting plenty of ideas plenty of good material what's the first thing we get ? terrible strategy games.
Very easy to get working and looking good first time if you have at least 3 brain cells.
RTS but smaller scale with hero units is much more fun. You get right into the action without having to build up and gather resources. Good game for playing a mission here and there when you need a WH40K fix, or when you see Henry Cavil and feel the urge.... to play 40K.
Dawn of war 2 takes a dramatic change in the style it presents, a change i disliked at first, but now its grown to be one of my favorite, offering a much smaller scale of unit selection and army size the game handles more like company of heroes or xcom, with a very small hint of rouge like with the random drops and ability to change each squads playstyle per run,
the final mission being a little anticlimactic but wonderfull
and the story being a definate upgrade to 1 and winter assult
the dlc Chaos rising makes this game even more of a wonder to play
continueing after the final mission of the base game, it adds 10 more levels to each squad, expanding the "skill tree" and offering just more love for this game
Superb.
We need games like this with classic storytelling, fun campaign.
I will support Warhammer franchise as long as they create such content!!
You are not a Avitus enjoyer, brother.
