Great ideas, rough execution
Dawn of War 3 was supposed to combine the best elements of the previous two games, but instead it simplified or removed almost everything that made the Dawn of War series great. The game is focused almost exclusively around elite units (heroes), while all other units are completely de-emphasised. Interesting mechanics such as cover are removed entirely. The economy is ruined, with resource rates being based primarily on the current game time to try to force specific game lengths. The singleplayer campaign is uninspiring and badly written, and with the emphasis on unit-only missions and the broken economy it doesn't even feel like a strategy game. Playing on harder difficulties just means you have to stand around for long amounts of time waiting for your units to regenerate because there's nothing else you can do. The incredible voice acting from earlier Dawn of War games is gone, replaced by terrible and generic-sounding voiceovers. The saddest thing is that the failure of this terrible game has most likely doomed the prospect of any future high-quality 40K real-time strategy games.

Relic has through many masterpieces developed a peculiar unique sub genre of RTS
Relic has through many masterpieces developed a peculiar unique sub genre of RTS. We have seen amazing features in their past games, such as: -the cover system -morale system -supression -garrisonable buildings -veterancy -retreating -fully destructible enviroment, including the ground -♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ sync kills and I'm sure I forgot some. NONE OF THE ABOVE FEATURES ARE IN THIS GAME!!! NONE! 0! NULL! all the effort and years of mastery throughout various masterpieces has gone into creating this unique and incredibly enjoyable recipe and then suddenly, for this game, they dropped it all. Please go back to the old style Relic. If you want the larger scale,maybe make the micro less significant, but do not trash everything that made your games great... 4/10
