A little disappointed! 173

Fan of the Dawn of War series since the beginning, I wanted to test it stand-alone. It remains in line with the Dawn of war 2, ie a reduced army has some elite squads face many enemies. Certainly, it changes the first Dawn of war, where one building his base and constituais titanic armies, but for me, I find this new gameplay renews the game well, providing more tactical and less bourrines Vision Series ! (Including management covered forcing placed its units accurately to avoid them massacred!)

But stand-alone again changes the game play of the series and offers the players the opportunity to recruit units during missions. That fans of the first two are reassured, can not drown the enemy provided under the number. The fact is that the cost of the units, as well as the level of resources of the demographic capacity keeps some tactics in missions. But this causes a big downside for me, so, it is much more difficult to manage covered, since the groups consist of several unit section! In addition, it gets confused easily when deployed several units, especially against the bosses, where usually it takes good mobility to avoid powerful attacks! A defect that may seem minor, but which spoil a little fun! In addition, it has some bugs (as squads that remain blocked for nothing!) And a bit feeble IA ...

In addition, the campaign is also a bit weak. If it can be through with all the races of the game (finally !!! It is obliged to follow the Blood Ravens!), His story is little catchy, and goals change very little as played factions ... Damage It also uses the same defect as her older, it is much too short, barely 15 missions, a dozen hours. Granted it is replayable, but weariness come quick!

Note (important, I almost forgot) that the imperial guards entered the dance (and it is probably for this reason that we can recruit troops, you see the prolific and lower guards stationed at 4 squads tactics? Me either ^^), a nice race, fun to play with good old shielded (Leman Russ) and commanders still crossed (the commissioners to name a few!) ... We note also the appearance of super heavy units such as the Imperial Baneblade (a big tank that tape loudly). Too bad there is still so much missing races, I look forward to the day that Relic will decide to lay us an extension with Tau, or Dark Eldar !!

Still, the game is pretty good overall, its realization is good, and the various factions are always nice to play, not counting the multijouer mode that offers original and fun game modes! However I would recommend to wait for a price drop before buying, I find it a bit expensive for its content, even if it might amuse you twenty or thirty hours, with multi I therefore recommend to the players just want to go off-line !!
