(How else does a 12 year old make that decision?) Check out a review by Old Man Mordaith over on his blog he’s not a long-time player of RTSs and neither has he played either of the prequels, so it’s as close as you can get to a clean slate from a game reviewer. That said, it’s good to cast a fresh pair of eyes over these things. The original DoW holds a special place in my heart as a Warhammer 40K table-top hobbyist.ĭawn of War III was much-awaited but saw mixed reception. They don’t live up to the base-building and scale of the battles found in the roots of the series. Dawn of War: Ultimate Apocalypse and some of its companion mods are more than a match for later iterations of this title.
