Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War 3 Reviews
Action oriented and a lot of fun, Dawn of War III is an excellent combination of the best elements in the franchise: epic scale combat with an intense micromanagement of unit.

Dawn of War 3 is a quality game if you aproach it with no prejudice but it's not rich in terms of content. It's wise to wait for a sale if you are not a fan of the series.

Dawn of War III is a surprisingly inconsistent RTS with a disappointing campaign, coming from one of the most consistent development teams in the genre. The steep initial learning curve, muscle memory and furious multitasking required to fully enjoy the game's multiplayer will likely alienate many series fans, but there are enough good ideas here that you can at least see what Relic were going for with this flawed but occasionally exciting sequel.
Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War III is one of the best modern RTS games today. It's well-made, good looking game and refreshing for its series.

Dawn of War 3 is confusing. It revives the old ideas of Dawn of War 1, but does it pretty badly. It completely removes the ideas from Dawn of War 2 because it is too uncontrollable for e-sports.
On its own, Dawn Of War III is a good strategy game that, while lacking in certain areas, can provide epic battles. As a continuation of the series, however, it's easily overshadowed by past iterations as it fails to find enough strengths of its own.
In its core, Dawn of War 3 is a really good RTS, but the attempt to change the series' formula drastically didn't really work out. Unlocking heroes is pointless and not even the multiplayer can save the game. Eight maps and only one multiplayer mode is just way too little.

Over all DoW3 is a really solid entry into the RTS genre and probably will end up being the best game of its series.
At the end of it all, Dawn of War 3 feels like a hybrid of the first two games in the series but between the wrong mix of mechanics and the lack of real graphical progress between iterations it hasn’t managed to live up to the standards set by the previous games.
It’s worth playing if you’re a fan of the series or of Warhammer 40,000 in general but if you’re just looking for a new RTS you should definitely consider looking elsewhere.
For many people it isn’t going to be the sequel they wanted, but taken on its own merits there’s a lot to like here, even if it does mean it’s hard to see exactly what the future of the franchise may be moving forward.
Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War 3 is the latest in a series of popular Real Time Strategy games put out by Relic Entertainment and published by Sega. Currently it sits at a modest price of 59.99 USD. So we’ll be digging out the old man glasses and taking a gander to see if it’s worth the cost of admission.
As soon as the flashy and over the top battles wears out, Dawn of War III leaves a sour taste in the mouth of a RTS that fails to build upon its previous entries and poor mechanics.

Three factions might seem very light when considering the vast armies in the Warhammer 40,000 universe, but considering you need to learn every unit counter as quickly as possible, you will be glad you are only learning three factions and not more.
Warhammer 40.000: Dawn of War 3 presents itself as a RTS/MOBA hybrid that doesn't offer much besides an extensive campaign to please Warhammer Fans. Especially in terms of fractions and multiplayer it lacks of replay value. If you're new to the series you'll still get a perfect entry point to the world of Dawn of War.

After the pure RTS of Dawn of War and the RPG leanings of Dawn of War II, Relic Entertainment decides to settle in the middle ground with Dawn of War III. Base-building returns, heroes get an overhaul with Elite units, and combat becomes more aggressive and faster-paced. Dawn of War III is a game that pulls from its past, while taking some elements from modern day gaming to make something new in the franchise.
