The Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War series is one of the games that really got me hooked on RTS games. It was a major transition away from the Command and Conquer style titles which dominated the lates 90s and early 2000s. With its release in 2004, Dawn of War merged squad-based gameplay, base building and a well-known, widely regarded universe into one of my all time favourite games. Recently, Relic Entertainment’s Dawn of War turned 20, and its sequel, Dawn of War II, hit the 15-year milestone. To celebrate, Anniversary Editions for both games have been released, offering gamers a chance to revisit these classics with all expansions and DLC included as free upgrades for current owners.
