All these years later Dawn of War feels like the strategy game that really pushed the genre into new and interesting spaces.
It’s a tragedy that Warcraft 3 got an HD remaster—albeit a half-assed one—but if I want to play Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War I need to download widescreen hacks and an app just to remap the controls and get it into a playable state. Blizzard’s seminal RTS no doubt deserves all the praise it gets, but all these years later Dawn of War feels like the strategy game that really pushed the genre into new and interesting spaces.
You don’t play Dawn of War for the story, though. You play it to gleefully watch a crab-like Chaos Marine Defiler wade into a group of Space Marines, pluck one up with its enormous mechanical claw, and toss his crumpled body half-way across the map. I feel like it’s moments like this that are missing from other RTS games of that era, especially Warcraft 3. There’s almost a kind of disregard for the spectacle of watching giant fantasy armies clash in battle.
That’s not the only innovation that makes Dawn of War still relevant today, however. It also disposes with the resource collection systems that I’ve come to despise in games like StarCraft only because it’s so fiddly. It’s not fun having to constantly micromanage whether or not my worker units are accessing the right resources back at base instead of pushing deeper into the map and watching fights break out.Instead, resources are earned by spreading out and grabbing control points.
