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

I can NOT, for the life of me, save the land raider...please help lol.

Quite fun campaigns but does have 2 bugs for the orks in Mission 4 in the Disorder campaign, where you don't get the starting resources you should get, and its slower to get resources. Apparently there are methods to fix or mitigate such problems but I couldn't be bothered trying over and over in hope. Everything else is great though.

best RTS ever made

Good story and gameplay, this was my second warhammer game and has a special place in my heart though gameplay is weaker than the normal dawn of war, this one has better story in my opinion. Missions are unique and honestly iconic. The escort mission in this game is both hard and memorable. Some of the missions are embeded deeply in my brain, Leading Leman Russ tanks through the park while flanking enemy positions gave me feelings i wish i can relive. The final mission is SO GOOD that it took me 2-3 hours to beat it and i wasn't frustrated just sat there and enjoyed the carnage endless waves of ancient enemy. Story is 10/10 gameplay is 8/10 because SpaceMarines>imperial soldiers

play dark crusade, this one really isnt worth it

OOPS, SORRY! positive feedback is not available in our region

Very quick and linear campaign. Nothing much else to say. It was still fun

Do not buy anything associated with GW. They are a garbage company that hates the community that made it so popular to begin with.

love the gaurd

It's fun, but I fucking hate the Land Raider escort.

pretty shit. meh

Not Bad

Have always liked these games

Classic. Great Game 2025

The game is great but it is difficult so be prepared for a challenge!

unless you are a major warhammer fan - I recommend just not playing this game

Probably the weakest expansion in the Warhammer: Dawn of War series.

This game enlarged my Imperial Guard army and devastated my wallet like how the CIA intentionally ruined African-American neighbourhoods with crack cocaine back in the 80's. 10/10 would recommend, Sturnn is my homeboy

While a bit tougher than its predecessor this will expand on your skills.

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
I'm watched over by the greenest gods in da galaxy
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

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
