So Today am thinking of buying some Pc Games Unreal Antholgy,Deus ex complete collection,serious Sam 2,Neverwinter nights and Dawn of war complete collection. So I am wondering if the dawn of war game has a good single player campaign.
Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War
Game » consists of 9 releases. Released 2004
As the dawn of war approaches, take control of one of many different futuristic armies and races from the 41st millennia and wage war against your enemies!
Does the 1st Dawn of War game have a good campaign.
The original's campaign was regarded as anywhere from merely decent, to being pretty great. In all honesty- the main criticism I remember some leveling at the campaign was simply the fact that you only play as the Space Marines and never get to touch any of the other factions.
As a previous poster mentioned though, the multiplayer was where it was at for Dawn of War 1 and pretty much all of its expansions. You can partially rectify the dead multiplayer through the skirmish mode, since the AI can be entertaining until you get too used to each difficulty level's scripts. :P
If you come to really like the original's campaign- you'll probably like Winter Assault's campaign as well, especially if you want the chance to control the non-Space Marine factions in a campaign.
Take note though- the campaigns of all the dawn of war entries after Winter Assault: from Dark Crusade all the way to Dawn of War 2 and its expansions, are completely different beasts. The series pretty much left the standard linear RTS campaign structure behind after Winter Assault.
Don't really remember a lot about the first game but Dark crusade was a masterpiece, i still go back to that now and again.
After reading this thread and alt tabbing to Steam I happened to notice that at some point I had installed DOW and all the expansions and had forgotten about it. Now I'm going to play that for the rest of the night. Thanks!
Dawn of War + Winter Assault had some of my favorite rts campaigns. The other expansions used the strategic map, although it's great for the tactics and non linearity of the campaign, the story is non existent in this later ones.
