Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War 4 appears to be a strong return to form for the RTS series. After playing through the ork and Adeptus Mechanicus campaigns, as well as the Astra Militarum prologue, the reviewer reports that the game successfully avoids the issues that plagued its predecessor. The campaigns are described as engaging, offering distinct narrative paths and meaningful strategic choices.
Gameplay mechanics emphasize tactical depth, featuring a return of the cover system that was largely absent in Dawn of War 3. Players can utilize barricades or faction-specific tools like the Adeptus Mechanicus's Emanatus Field Generators to protect units. Additionally, the game incorporates tabletop-inspired elements such as wargear customization, stratagems, and command points, which allow for significant battlefield versatility.
The reviewer notes that while the game features impressive, tactile combat animations, some units occasionally struggle with pathing or hit detection. These visual inconsistencies are attributed to the game's current development state, with the reviewer expressing hope that polish will improve before the upcoming launch.
Dawn of War 4 is positioned as a classic, story-driven RTS, distinct from the grand strategy approach of the rumored Total War 40k. With the game nearing release, the reviewer believes developer King Art has created a compelling experience that stands on its own merits within the Warhammer 40,000 universe.
