The one-player campaign jumps between the three main protagonists – Space Marines, Eldar and Orks – in an attempt to provide a wider perspective to the conflict on the curiously named planet Cyprus Ultima, but succeeds only in making the story feel disjointed. DOW III is still largely enjoyable but there is nothing new here other than slightly improved graphics, while the sublime moments – such as Ork Waaagh! towers blaring heavy metal – are undermined by the ridiculous, such as the shocking cover mechanics. Unfortunately, in the intervening 13 years the franchise hasn’t moved on. It had the added bonus of being a considerably cheaper way of playing Warhammer 40,000 than actually buying the tabletop version from Games Workshop. When the original Dawn of War was released in 2004, it was a breath of fresh air for the real-time strategy genre, combining base-building and resource-gathering with a gloriously, fun and gory violence. ‘Nothing new here’: Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War III. For anyone looking for an engaging JRPG, Persona 5 deals with the psychological elements better, while Tales of Berseria has a similar, but smoother, combat system. The worst offender is the mascot Pinkun, a floating, rabbit-like creature who finds it necessary to comment on everything one does (or, indeed, goes remotely near) from a small collection of soundbites. The biggest failing is the dialogue, which is choked with pop-culture references and snark in a way that can feel almost petulant. The dungeons are cookie-cutter hallways, with fairly minor changes to their visual themes and early reskinning of enemies. The cracks appear early, however, as the hack-and-slash combat feels oddly hobbled by an action-points system that breaks up fights with periods of inactivity. While the representation of the district feels a little underdeveloped as a whole, its character does shine through when focusing on specific individuals, locations and the relationships between them.
