Stand alone DLC that brings Dawn of War II to its best...partially.
Campaign is relatively shorter here and a bit off from what it was in the original game and previous DLC Chaos Rising. Everything is simplified and the whole idea of small squads kinda gone. Story mode got closer to multiplayer, giving you a bit of zerg gameplay mixed with "not so deep RPG elements" and a bit of heroes with their sometimes broken gear. Huge plus to Imperial Guards, Tyranid, Orcs, Elders, Chaos enjoyers because now we have options to play new stories as those factions besides Blood Ravens Space Marines (it's still сanon though). But don't expect a lot of difference in the main plot of the story though because the game will just relatively switch your enemies for most encounters without giving you a unique experience and story rich gameplay. But it still will be at the point of when it makes sense, so no Orc+Eldars+Space Marines fighting against demons and throwing out with rainbows.
Multiplayer got some updates. Imperial Guards are here now and with certain DLCs you can even play as Krieg's Death Korps and some stylish Space Marines. If you know, you know.
PvE co-op mode also got new heroes like Tau, Necrons and Imperial Guards ones.
I believe that this game is still alive in this version and worth playing no matter what, even if you didn't play any other previous Dawn of War game. Multiplayer is alive compared to absolutely dead DoWIII but not as big as in DoWI, paradox ain't it...

much worst than the normal DOW 2

FOR THE EMPEROR

I love this game even all these years later, and not just because they dropped the ball so hard on the third game. DOW 2 is truly a well made and worthy successor to DOW 1 and its expansions. I just wish the original voice actor for Davian Thule could have been used, but at least Vegeta came back to voice the IG doughboys.

has been lagging and freezing, otherwise good

if you like army painter from number 1 its in multiplayer also its fun

one of my all time favourites

i cant even launch it

Have played this game for 745 hours as of the writing of this. Quite possibly the best Dawn of War game in the whole series. Still fun to play today, especially The Last Stand (why hasn't this mode shown up again in latter titles?).

I guess the title retribution states as such after their last dlc
