Winter Assault brings fresh material to an already jacked-up RTS that has redefined the sci-fi genre.
User Rating: 8 | Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War - Winter Assault PC
Warhammer 40,000: Winter Assault is an excellent expansion pack that adds a lot to the 40K universe. The campaign offers an interesting take on light vs. dark, with some open-ended playability. Players can take command of the Eldar, Imperial Guard, Chaos, and Orks in the single-player campaign, and the multiplayer is also enriched by the addition of these races to the battlefield. Even though the campaigns are short, the duality of playing as either race during the light (or dark) campaigns made it interesting and different from the format in Winter Assault's predecessor, Dawn of War, where you only played as the Space Marines. An enjoyable expansion for me, Winter Assault is definitely one to add to your Warhammer 40K collection. It did not let me down when I played it, and I think that any 40K player will find that it is an immersive expansion into a whole different environment from Dawn of War, which is exactly what the series needs to freshen up.
