Warhammer 40,000 Dawn of War III was released in 2017, and represents the culmination of one of the most iconic sagas in the strategy genre. Unfortunately, the sales of this title have been quite lower than what SEGA expected, so it is very likely that we will not see a new installment.
But low sales do not mean it is a bad game, far from it. This is a very entertaining game, and with a huge level of quality, in which you will have to perform tasks as diverse as construction of bases, management of resources, creation of new units , and of course organize your army to face the rivals.
Total War Warhammer II
Warhammer goes way beyond Dawn of War. In these cases, it is a video game franchise with a quite different approach, since in this case it is not about managing bases and heroes in real time, but instead focuses on diplomacy and pure face-to-face combat .
In this installment we will have to manage an army with hundreds of units , to try to continue advancing on the game map. All units are different from each other, and have their own characteristics, so you will have to learn to manage them, in order to get the most out of your army.
