So, I'm not much of a PC gamer, but Dawn of War II, is one of those PC games that you have to try out. It's actually much better than most PC games that I've checked out. Relic has made a few pretty bold decisions when they created the game, but for the most part the boldness of the game is what makes the game fun and entertaining.
You can build your own base and troops. You can even command your troops while in battle. Basically Warhammer 40,000 is a strategy game that is in its own world of role-playing. Essentially, you control each campaign and mission that grows and evolves into what gear you decide to equip and what skills you decide to improve. So, as you can see, you're really in control when playing Dawn of War II.
The game is divided into a campaign mode and a skirmish mode, both of which feature a multi-player option. In the campaign mode, you have the option to play cooperatively with others, and in skirmish mode you can participate in one versus one or three versus three matches against the AI opponents.
In between each mission you can swap out equipment. Your armor is boosted and you can crush the cover by just walking through it. You'll want to equip the fancy teleporter and switch out your main weapons so that you can crush your enemy in the next mission.
The switch of equipment and skill management is a little odd for this real-time strategy game, but it definitely something that adds to the game and sets it a part from other PC games of the sort.
You will find that the missions are directly related to the storyline, which means that you'll encounter seriously vicious struggle of races and action, which adds to the dynamic of the game. Personally, Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II is near one of its own. You'll never have to worry about huge armies that you can't keep track of or limited resources.
You decide when and where you will fight.
There are multiple difficulty levels, so you can choose how hard you want to play.
There are three different heroes for each army, each with their own skills and abilities that will better equip the troops. There is just a lot to learn while playing the game, that you want to make sure that you keep your eyes open.
There are seven maps with the game, three 1 v 1 and four 3 v 3, the overall layouts are smaller compared to titles past and allow for fluid battles. The maps do feature structures and pathways, there are places in the maps that make it difficult to lock down certain sections of the map, such as where there may be a bottleneck in the path.
As for the fighting, there is a good bit of blood and gore, which furthers the visciousness of the game and fighting.
Hopefully, with time Relic will add to the features and the odds and ends of Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II, but for now you'll have plenty of fun and excitement when playing this strategy PC game.
