Warhammer: 40,000: Dawn of War - Soulstorm Add-On (PC)

This expansion pack adds many features to the Dawn of War saga. It has included two new armies the Witch Hunters and the Dark Eldar. Air units, like the marauder bomber. This game had a very specific feel for me before soul storm and in my opinion strategy has gone out the window with the new air units. This game seems to be made as an afterthought. Personally I did not enjoy this game. I did not like the new campaign map which did not let you zoom in unless you were about to attack and I specially did not like the feel of the two new races. The game is unbalanced unfair and boring now so the only thing for me to do and others is not to buy the game and pray and beg that ...  Read the complete review

Dawn of War: Soulstorm is everything I was hoping for in an expansion pack for an already superb series. Once you have chosen your race, you are given your main base on one of the four planets in the system and told to conquer all. Initially, the task is simple (depending upon your race), and your foothold is quickly established. The campaign can become quite difficult from there, however, as every turn your enemies build up their defenses and create more troops for you to fight. Each race has a specific ability, which aids you in defeating your enemies. Defeating another race (by wiping out its' headquarters) allows you their ability, furthering ...  Read the complete review

I have been a large fan of the Dawn Of War series since it first came about years ago, and one thing that always got me was the amount of detail that had gone into the story line, aswell as the command and conquer style gameplay that made it great, admittedly there were some downfalls, but it was early days, and winter assault and Dark Crusade added upon that greatly, and now Soulstorm has arrived to grace our computers, but is it all that its cracked up to be? As stated in the Advantages/Disadvantages part of this review i believe that the Advantages for this game are that; the armies generally feel balanced and varied, Story mode is detailed and allows you an ...  Read the complete review

Bring in the bombers! The Dawn of War saga continues (and ends) with this, the final expansion for the original Dawn of War. Soulstorm takes the series out with a bang though, giving you not just 2 new races to play around with, but it also gives you aircraft for all of the existing races. It also gives you a 4-planet map to conquer in the campaign mode. I'll cover the new races first. First up, the Sisters of Battle. Basically, the Sisters are like a female version of Space Marines. However, they have a secondary role as witch hunters, so the majority of their special weaponry is taken up with flamethrowers, meltaguns, and other things that lob very hot ...  Read the complete review

The Dawn of War series is unique in my experience in that the later two add-ons (Dark Crusade and Soulstorm) do not require the original game to play. However, the single player campaign in these add-ons is very different from the original game, and to experience the full benefit of the multi-player game you'd be best to have the original games as well. Soulstorm adds two new races to the campaign (Sisters of Battle and Dark Eldar) a new unit type (flying units) and a new resource (Faith/Souls). The new resource is only available for the new races, much like Waaargh! is only available for Orks. The single player campaign lets you choose ...  Read the complete review
