About Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War III

Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War III is Relic Entertainment’s 2017 real-time strategy game set on the planet Acheron, where a doomsday weapon draws three armies into war. Ork warlord Gorgutz, Eldar farseer Macha and Space Marine commander Gabriel Angelos all fight to claim it.

The campaign alternates missions between the three factions so you learn each army in turn. In battle you build bases, gather resources and lead squads alongside elite heroes and huge units such as the Imperial Knight, the Gorkanaut and the Wraithknight. Super-abilities like Orbital Bombardment or Eldritch Storm can turn a fight, and online matches support up to 3v3.

Why Buy This Game?

Dawn of War III suits players who like fast, action-heavy RTS battles where heroes and giant machines decide the fight. The three armies play very differently, and the campaign is a good way to learn them before trying online matches. With Steam Workshop support and a level editor there is extra content beyond the main story.

Related Games

The squad-focused direction of this series is easiest to trace in Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II: Retribution, where Gabriel Angelos and his rivals fight with small hero-led units instead of sprawling bases. Fans of Relic’s cover and suppression systems will feel at home in Company of Heroes 3, which moves the action to the Italian and North African fronts of the Second World War. If base building and fast unit production are what you enjoy most, Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars EA App Key Global delivers a classic Tiberium conflict between GDI, Nod and the alien Scrin. And for a slower look at the same grim universe, Warhammer 40,000: Gladius - Relics of War turns 40K warfare into a turn-based 4X campaign on a hex map.
