    Well it looks great......but does not play well. Most people will expect this game to be similar to the previous entries but it isn't. It removes all features that made the previous games good and definitely feels like a half baked moba game.

    The soundtrack is great. The game has probably the best intro trailer ever made. However, the game itself is a massive disappointment. It is inferior to original Dawn of War, and one of the few games that made feel like refund was justified.

    The disappointment of the year and the death of one of the most beloved series of games. F

    Played almost every Warhammer game but this... It's soulless money grab (40 euros for unfinished game), Unenjoyable from the very start, changed visuals (unfitting for this franchise), bugs, boring combat system and base building. Sadly I can't recommend it.

    Every time I was trying to play this game a had a server issue and lost progress. Always connected retirement is a pathology. Game should be banned because of that.

    The players who wanted to get a full-fledged RTS did not get it. And the audience that likes to play the MOBA genre is not interested in a PAID game, when most games of this genre are FREE. The very spirit of the original from the previous parts is lost.

    Just text (crutch) to save the game to the list. Such things. Maybe I'll do a review later.

    The new Warhammer is a classic strategy in core, but simplified to MOBA elements. It combines the gameplay of the first Dawn of War with the latter, and it certainly works nice. [Issue#275]

    DOW 3 is trying very hard to satisfy many target groups -RTS players, online competitors, mobs fans- but in the end it fails to deliver something memorable.

    The games that play out as intended - courtesy of the twists that Relic has brought into the franchise this time around - well, those will stay in your mind as some of the most intense RTS games you'll ever have. [Issue#188, p.74]
