I played a lot of DOW 1 series, I just love RTS games and to see the warhammer genre making an appearance filled me with joy, I have completed each of the campaigns and have spent many hours doing skirmishes so when I saw that DOW 3 was returning to its base building roots I just had to buy this... After playing for a little while I was intrigued, the graphics, sounds and player models were fresh and exciting but playing further on it felt like a real slog. Things were hard to kill, it took ages to build an army and there was a real emphasis on "hero" units i.e being way overpowered.
DOW 1 had several factions to choose from (Space Marines, Orks, Eldar, Chaos) and with following games added more factions (Imp Guards, Necrons, Tau etc) but DOW3 only had 3 starting factions and as usual it was the big 3... boring. The same things we are used to seeing.
It's a real shame that DOW3 didn't become the game it deserved to be, I would love to see additional content but sadly I don't see that coming.
