Looked a bit touch and go there for a while, didn't it? While Dawn of War II was the best Frankensteinian gestalt of strategy and role-playing to date, there were only so many times that walking north up a map until you reached a circular bit with a slightly bigger Tyranid in it could remain entertaining and surprising.
A big Tyranid! How did you know? Urn - did you keep the receipt? Piece length In Chaos Rising there's no more of that: missions are scripted, sculpted things, escalating fights packed with apocalyptically crumbling environments, a surprisingly engrossing story and a whole bunch of ethical choices.
Yes, your real-time strategy game now includes moral deliberation - which is a step forward for a genre that's usually about 'Shall I build this little man, or this other little man? The further they turn towards the Dark Side - sorry, Chaos - the more brutally cool abilities and perks they unlock.
The trouble is they'll lose other abilities, and access to some rather tasty armour and weapons. Better yet, it's genuinely woven into the story. There are twists, and they are splendid twists. The major bullet point for this, arguably overpriced, standalone expansion is the return of Chaos and its Marines to DOW. These are a perverted take on Space Marines, who are more about punch than speed, and have a few demons thrown in for good measure.
While Chaos Rising's single-player game is a revelation after DOW2, the multiplayer hasn't changed much - it's just enlarged significantly by the inclusion of Chaos and new units. It's a shame these missions aren't a bit wilder, but they fit well, and turn a game that could feel small into a big and beefy one.
Best of all, Relic have dropped an enormous patch for Dawn of War II to ensure that the game's player base isn't split. Once applied to D0W2 players can face off with those playing Chaos Rising, without needing this expansion. Chaos Rising a splendid next step for Dawn of War II, that avoids the easy route of simply fixing the last game or simply continuing on as before.
It does both, and then some. Dawn Of War II divided the fans when first it crashed down onto our hard drives, flexing its power armour-clad muscles and ranting about The Warp. Nevertheless, Relic have decided to give the fans some of what they wanted with D0W2's first expansion, Chaos Rising. Boasting a new and improved campaign that addresses D0W2's issues of map repetition and limited battlefield objectives, Chaos Rising picks up where D0W2 left off, allowing your xenophobic genetically-engineered super soldiers to become even more super.
This means a higher level cap, new combat abilities and lots of shiny new toys for your troops to play with. A lot of attention has been given to the depth of the campaign too. Owners of this website aren't responsible for content of comments. March 11th, All mirrors Here : w w w.
