Feels too much like Dark Crusade.

User Rating: 7.5 | Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War - Soulstorm PC
By verysneaky | Review Date:
Although Dark Crusade was a great game, Soulstorm is basically the same thing with a couple of new classes. I know it's an expansion pack, but it just hasn't done as much as DC has. The multiple planet deal is kinda silly, its pretty much the same thing as DC, but annoying.

Gameplay
Basically, the same as DC, which has nice gameplay, but just feels too much the same. The two new classes and the air units are kinda cool, but the air units seem kinda useless most of the time.

Graphics
Basically the same as DC again, not improving on anything, but still looks good enough.

Multiplayer
I've played some LAN with a friend, which was fun, the classes are still quite balanced and is worth having a go at.

Verdict
Although it just feels like Dark Crusade with a few additions, it's still a good game and is worth playing if you liked DC. Otherwise, it doesn't have too much going for it and is better to just wait for DoW2 if there are any doubts.

    When I first heard about the expansion pack, Soulstorm, I was elated. I've been a huge fan of the Dawn of War series, finding the strategy and the game play awesome. In some ways I prefer it to Command & Conquer, where s... Read Full Review
