Warhammer® 40,000: Dawn of War® – Winter Assault

nostalgia

good fun. though very rustic

Nimme es jetzet!

Really enjoyed the campaign playing as the Imperial Guard!

This and the classic DoW campaign are peak for the single player experience <3

я играл буквально 2 миссии в этой игре, но тут миссии нудные до невозможности. последней каплей в этой части для меня стало то что я не смог захилить технику из-за какого-то бага

Love the lore of this game but gameplay-wise, the units path-finding is absolute GARBAGE borderline unplayable. Some of the missions are just bad, specially mission 4, is just dumb.

Word of advice, if you plan to get this game, play in "normal" or "easy" difficulty because "hard" is just unplayable. Units are just stupid as shit! they sometimes literally go left when you told them to go right, exacly the opposite of what your commanding them to do.

Horrid unit path-finding along with multiple units squads plus awful terrain makes it just frustrating.

I would even go ahead and recommend to play on easy, just for the story-line cause game-play is just terrible.

THE BEST, but also guard is goat'd

Oh, nostalgia. Playing this game every two years for almost 20 years. Great company.

Same DOW gameplay on a whole new intense campaign, and a whole new faction to learn. Imperial Guardsmen took some adjustments to learn to play properly, but they are just as fun as the other armies. This also introduces multiple endings to the series, since xenos and Chaos also have their own stories tied in.

10/10

I'm on a mission to play and review everything in my Steam Library, which has grown out of control. 40k Dawn of War is one of the best RTS games of it's time and one of the best 40k games period! I had hours of fun with this back in the day. I used to have an Imperial Guard army when I was a kid. Getting to play as them in a campaign was so much fun. Glory to the Emperor!

m

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

Pity the Guardsmen.

missions were not really enjoyable.

8/10 good rts

In this expansion, the pathfinding somehow gets worse, and you thus get to babysit the guardsmen both in the story and in the gameplay. These people couldn't find their way to the end of a hallway if they had a map and a tour guide helping them along.

Basically, in this one, you play the most irritatingly weak faction intermingled with the most unique one. Not that they're any smarter when it comes to avoiding obstacles.

who up wintering they assault?

Playing any mission is practically impossible. Every mission is unnecessarily drawn out and overcomplicated, allowing only one specific solution. The game enforces an inflexible sequence of actions—any deviation, whether in constructing buildings or deploying troops, forces you to restart the mission repeatedly until you eventually guess the correct order. This rigid design leaves no room for error and makes progress frustratingly tedious.

Emperor give me Strength

The landraider at the end has the worst ai in the game.

game is great

If you like Dawn of War OG, you'll like this. Imperial Guard is a fun change of pace.

Choppin' time

I like this game a lot if you can cheese the 4th mission of each campaign the endings are really easy

Out in da warp
Wiff nuffin' ta do
Not even a mutiny
Ta cheer up the crew
Lookin' for somewhere
Ta kick up a stink
We need sumfin' ta fight
Like we need grog to drink

Lookin' for worlds
Wiff some 'umies ta crush
Ta bring armor-geddem
And grind them ta dust
Hit 'em hard, hit 'em low
Give 'em plenty of dakka
Dakka!

It's WAAAAGH!
WAAAAGH!
Nuffin' stands in our way!
It's WAAAAGH!
WAAAAGH!
Leave nuffin' but ruins behind!
WAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!!!!
Shootas, Blood and Teef!
Oi! Oi! Oi! Oi! Oi! Oi!
Shootas, Blood and Teef!
Dead shooty, our shootas
Well green is our skin
Orks only knows how to krump and to win!
Smashin' up tin heads and takin' their scrap
Spiky boyz, gene sneakers - all dem go splat!

You fink you's bigga, is dat right?
Well, you brought a knife to a shoota fight!
There's only one fing
That we believe in
And universe, it's coming for you

It's WAAAAGH!
WAAAAGH!
Shootas, Blood and Teef!
WAAAAGH!
WAAAAGH!
Shootas, Blood and Teef!

No puny 'umie is gonna kill me

Oi, you miserable gits
What do you want?
Shootas, Blood and Teef!
I can't hear you!
What do you need?
Shootas, Blood and Teef!

When da green wave is comin'
Then death's a relief
We're out on da warpath for
Shootas, Blood and Teef!

Bro this game fisted me for like 20 hours straight. An absolute blast to play and while i wouldn't play it over the others for any other reason other than the campaign now. Winter assault is still apart of one of the greatest RTS series ever.

I loved the winter themes and the imperial guard were awesome to play and god man the voice acting was so good!! The chaos and just bloodbath this campaign is, combined with all the snow and DEATH and destruction and the music that drums into your ears, It was epic, it was brutal and most importantly it was fun. Lifes short, play this campaign at least once :) and seriously the music is so good

you get to charge your trope's in to a gun line

gaurdsmen in here are fun to play

7/10. The Worst of The 3 DLC Just Like I Remembered. But Still A Solid Game, Also General Sturnn IS A GIGACHAD WITH BALLS OF STEEL.

love this little dlc of the imperial soldiers love thier faction and the role they play in the warhammer franchise as normal strong will men fighting gods,devils, and all sorts of bad stuff just to get threw the weekend

pretty tits

Not as good as the main game

Very entertaining.

This game is so much harder than normal Dawn of War. But it's fun.

a fun bite sized if sometiems frustrating introduction to playing as the CHADperial Guard

2 great campaigns, that actually have branching out comes depending on how you play through it.

It can be challenging at times but maybe thats because your Imperial FILTH, but the game manages to make that fun aswell.

good game

For the Emperor of Man!

Playing this after the original game, Imperial Guard is cool and has badass tanks and mech, campaign feels like a step up from the original. If you liked the OG you'll like this one too

The guardsmen are really fun to play as and really nice in multiplayer. I think the artillery is very effective and satisfying to use.

Dawn of War continues its epic conquest with Winter Assault. Fixing most of the unbalances of the original. Winter Assault even brings an additional kick by adding the Imperial Guard (my favorite team).

Story:
The campaign offers two stories, the Forces of Order and the Campaign of Disorder. The Forces of Order has five missions and that switches between the Eldar and Imperial Guard. Unlike your traditional strategy campaign both the campaigns allow you to manipulate the story

Infuriating and weird campaign, step down from base game...

It is great

完结封档。

4个派系两两组队对抗的剧情还算有趣，不过战役设计有点麻烦，尤其星界军故意搞了一堆走不过去的路钻地道烦死了。

Well - this is from another era, and the age is clearly showing. I remember it as more modern and bad-ass but it's really not. If you played it back i 2006 and have fond memory of it, I'd say let it be :)

campaign killa kan requires tons of shurikens to die

Campaign is not as good as the first Dawn of War story wise, but it was very fun and Orks dialogues was funny as hell. Recommend it 100%.

Great DLC if you like the Guard.

This is honestly my least favorite expansion in terms of campaign. The second to last mission where you're racing against a tank escort is utter dogshit. Even on normal difficulty when I'm playing as Chaos/Orks couldn't beat the Guard or Eldar before that fuckoff tank reaches the exit.

I suggest skipping this expansion and continuing with Dark Crusade and/or Soulstorm if you've already played the first game.

Gameplay compelled me but story was somewhat lackluster and was not a very good sequel to the first campaign
