The production of addons to cult games is a thing, of course, good, but only in moderation. Sometimes, the desire of publishers and developers to fill the pockets of crispy bills rolls over all reasonable limits, and then a purely commercial calculation prevails over quality. Apparently, one of the best real -time strategies of our time is Warhammer 40.000: Dawn of War – suffered such a fate. Clouded in all circles – from experienced critics, to casual gamers – the original could not do without a good additive. And the first expansion Winter Assault coped well with its task. It would seem that on this ThQ, Following the example Blizzard (one game – one addon), one could stop, but the company’s bosses chose another way. The main feature of the second additive, Dark Crusade, was the presence of a simple global map on which the player moved the “chips” and built buildings, from time to time exchanging troops in local skirmishes. The third addition – Soulstorm – developed the idea of its predecessor, and also added two new fractions to the already rather big number of warring parties.
This time, the Dark Eldars and warlike sisters became the debutants of the virtual universe of the “Hammer of War”. The first – pure futuristic “Satanists”: wear clothing from people’s leather and erect buildings on the corpses of slaves (say thanks to the rating “Mature”). Despite their frique appearance, Eldar-Office took place among the strongest inhabitants of the world Warhammer. It is their uber-arrangement Soulstorm and served as the name for the new addna. Space Amazons look no less original. Their fanatical worship of the gods left a serious imprint on the design of units and buildings.
The remaining significant innovations can be counted on the fingers. So, each of the nine factions received one aircraft one aircraft. They are not able to provide sufficient firing power from debuting air structures: in general, neither fish, nor meat.
Poorly detailed global card is unable to offer anything interesting. The move after the course we squeeze opponents from the planet, simultaneously pumping heroes and erecting industry. A sufficient and prerequisite for the surrender of the enemy is the capture of its capital. It is at the moments of the assault of “megacities” that the plot recalls of its existence, leading in the form of primitive dialogs and rollers on the engine (there is no one to wait for the original videos from the original).
From a graphic point of view, Soulstorm remained to stomp still. That is, we are again offered to admire the picture of the 2004 model. Of course, the game engine has undergone some cosmetic changes, but the times when it was possible to observe the duel of the orc and the space paratrooper with an open mouth, sunk into oblivion.
It is highly likely that Soulstorm will be the last addition to Dawn of War. At least I would really like to hope for it. The number of https://www.azoren.nl/pag/recensie-bof-casino-nl.html#google_vignette races has grown to inconceivable limits – about such a concept as the “balance” can not be remembered, the picture is no longer in admiration, and the gameplay, albeit still magnificent, has already been studied by heart. ThQ, Give a full -fledged sequel!
Pros: gameplay time -tested.
Cons: an obsolete video sequence;minor innovations;Unpleasant bugs.
