The value story
The value story
Across all 70 discounts in the 10 years tracked, the median cut is 80 percent, about 6 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended 4 days ago.
It is pricier than 99 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 99 percent. Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War - Anniversary Edition (Classic) ($14.99, scores 84) outscores it, and so does Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II - Anniversary Edition (Classic) ($49.99, scores 54). Both sit among its closest neighbours.

What players say
When you uninstall, it opens a whole ass survey, that alone gets thumbs down from me.
2 more reviews, 1 not recommended
I selected Not Recommended but I want to provide some context here. I am glad I tried DoWIII. I want to spend a good deal more time on it. I don't want to put you off if you want to try it, I just can't 'recommended' or hype it up the way I could, say, Red Alert 2, or a whole host of other RTS. This is not a bad game. It is too dead to be worth the usual $60 price tag. The sale price of $12 is acceptable. I don't...
i completely understand the reasons people dont like this game or have mixed feelings. With that said if you just want a chill 40k rts till december 3 this will work. there is a learning curve play the tutorial dont be a fool.
