About Warhammer® 40,000: Dawn of War® - Dark Crusade

Deep under the central desert of Kronus, a vast honeycomb of skull-lined tunnels and funeral chambers house the awakening Necron menace. Eons ago, these were the boulevards and squares of a great necropolis built to house the bones of the races who had fallen to the Necrons, and ultimately were where the Necrons themselves retire to spend eternity. Over millions of years, sand and rock had covered it all until ill-fated excavations awoke the deathless. Play any of seven races, striving for control over Kronus. Take other races' strongholds by winning challenging battles on various maps individually associated with the respective strongholds. New Races Take command of two new playable races: Tau and Necron to unleash massive carnage across the frontlines of battle. . Expanded multiplayer Dominate opponents online across 12 new multiplayer maps - with up to 8 players battling it out for supremacy. . Deep single player campaign Conquer the planet of Kronus any way you choose - leading any one of seven races on an epic crusade through an all-new, non-linear single player campaign where you can experience unique storylines from each race's perspective. .

IT HAS NECRONS!!!

IT HAS NECRONS!!! YESSSSSSSSSS!!!! I NEEED THEM!!! ... But actually, this game is pretty good, it's fast enough when it comes to base building, focussing more primarily on combat than other rts titles I'm used to. LOVE it though, 100% recommend

Started a campaign with a simple plan

Started a campaign with a simple plan. Capture some territory. Build an army. Defeat the enemy. Simple. Then seven different factions decided the planet belonged to them. Suddenly I'm managing borders, defending strategic points and fighting wars on several fronts because apparently nobody believes in taking turns. The campaign map is great because every victory actually feels like progress. Unfortunately, every victory also seems to convince another faction that I should be their next problem. The battles are still classic Dawn of War: fast, violent and mostly solved by having more units than the other guy. I spent hours carefully planning my campaign. My final strategy was: Build a large army and walk toward the enemy. Surprisingly effective. 10/10. Would conquer the planet again. Preferably without making seven new enemies in the process.

This game is wonderful

This game is wonderful. I love the Warhammer universe. It features excellent visuals for its time, and with a few mods added, it becomes one of the best real-time strategy games I know. It’s a pleasure to watch the battles unfold and listen to the voice acting. I definitely recommend buying it
