From there on it’s the players’ job to keep the earth free of aliens. The players are given an option as to where to build the headquarters of XCOM. The earth is under attack by aliens! What to do? It’s at times like these that the leaders of the world unite for a common cause, and create XCOM, an organization dedicated to detecting alien activity around the earth and putting a stop to it. For people loyal to traditional RTS, this might not be your thing but Dawn of War II does bring a lot of new stuff to the table. But what is really impressive about the game is the departure from the traditional RTS where you have countless soldiers and the war is what matters.ĭawn of War II tells its story in a different way for the first time, where each of your soldiers plays a part in the story.
Now instead of spending half of your time worrying about resource collection or expanding your base, you are in constant battle, upgrading your units.Īlthough you’re units never really die in the game, they shut down until their power is revived (now don’t take this too lightly, it is a lot harder than you think!) The storyline of the campaign is nothing remarkable and the missions have a tendency to get repetitive after a while. This game isn’t the typical RTS you’d expect but the second title in the franchise by the makers of Company of Heroes does manage to deliver what it promised to its fans. Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II (2009)ĭawn of War II can be generalized as something like this: take an RTS, take away base building and resource collection, add special abilities to units, and role-playing mechanics, and voila! you have Dawn of War II. The campaign itself only acts as nothing more than a tutorial.ġ9. Unless you’re an old veteran of the game, Settlers 7 is bound to give you a tough time learning it. The very small-scale fights that do emerge can take care of themselves even without much user input. The game places much more focus on town planning and settlement rather than fights. If you are looking for a war-focused RTS, proceed to the next item on the list, because Settlers 7 will only disappoint you. If you’re spending too much on the military, doing too little research, or collecting too few resources then you have no chance of making it through the game.
Settlers 7 is all about micro-management! Everything needs to go in perfect balance if you want your empire to grow.
