There's no question that Dawn of War will turn even the meekest, mildest players into bloodthirsty battle addicts.

The game’s resource management, battles and particularly factions are wonderful and provide much depth to the game without ever overdoing it.

One of the best (if not the best) game I ever played. Got clever design features which make the game really nervous at all stage, where numerous RTS you might stay in your base until you have a big army. Best translation of Warhammer ever. Epic animations who make want to watch replays on and on. 9 factions in total with the extensions. Great in multiplayer or in Skirmish vs IA (especially… Expand

Relic Entertainment's latest effort does most of the usual RTS things right -- well-balanced, good-looking, deep multiplayer game, all that -- but what sets it apart is how good it looks and sounds while it's doing them.

There’s not much here that’s new, but at least it’s accomplished, and has been put together with style.

Dawn of War's tremendous unit design and the resulting balance makes for some addictive, tactical gameplay. The limited campaign isn’t very long, and, more importantly, isn’t very interesting, but crushing online foes and battling the computer is a blast.

The attention to detail is rewarding, the incidental battlefield ambience is awesome, and -- geeky bonus -- the game does a magnificent job of translating the gritty feel of the painted-figure tabletop games.

Playing over a LAN without the headaches associated with internet play can be a blast, either in head to head, teamplay, or grouping against those vicious computer opponents.

Не думал что ртска сможет заинтересовать меня, но эта игра таки смогла приятно удивить. Множество играбельных сторон на выбор, со своим оригинальным геймплеем, а так же замечательный лор настолько завлёк, что я разом установил все дополнения и поочерёдно прошёл их. Имея опыт прохождение всех следующих дополнений, могу сказать что первая часть немного уж плохо сохранилась, поэтому советую начинать играть сразу с последнего дополнения -"Soulstorm". Кардинально игра не меняется, разница лишь в том, что последнее дополнение это та же первая часть, но на максималках. С огромным выбором сторон, интересной сюжеткой, прокачкой командира, нормальной графикой, улучшенным геймплеем и с прочими улучшениями. 6 "запомни, кольцо выдёргивать, а гранату кидать" из 10

16 years after release I finally got round to playing this... The in-game graphics have held up in a surprisingly okay way, although textures are of a low quality compared with today (as to be expected). The graphics in the cut scenes is very 2004 :) The sound and voice acting are good throughout, although some of the voices are a bit over-egged (still quite enjoyable). I only played the single player campaign and enjoyed it, it was about the right length and there was a nice twist at the end. It took about 11 hours to complete on hard. I say it's about the right length as the missions can all be done in a very similar way - play defensive for a while, build up the strongest army you can and you're then unstoppable. Overall I found it fun and will play the expansion packs at some point.

Ce serait un jeu très sympathique s'il ne croulait pas sous les bugs (unités qui n'obéissent pas, capacités qui ne s'activent pas) et si l'interface n'était pas aussi perfectible. La vue du champ de bataille n'est pas assez éloignée et l'ensemble exige une micro-gestion permanente particulièrement soûlante. L'environnement est aussi bien trop torturé avec des impasses et des obstacles (naturels ou non), ce qui ajoute au bordel ambiant déjà bien assez bordélique comme ça. Dommage, car ça n'a pas trop vieilli graphiquement et le principe des points stratégiques à capturer est intéressant mais faute de rigueur suffisante dans la jouabilité et la finition, Dawn of War s'avère être une merde de plus dans le genre surabondant de la stratégie en temps réel. Signalons une musique agréable mais une VF très caricaturale pour ne pas dire ridicule : il faut dire que c'est aussi l'esprit de la licence Warhammer, un jeu de plateau bas de plafond et bas du front.
