Warhammer® 40,000™: Dawn of War® - Master Collection

A bundle of some of the best rts games in my opinion, and hands down the best Warhammer 40k games. Coupling Soulstorm with the Ultimate Apocalypse mod is also highly recommended to get a truly amazing experience out of an already great game.

Great "old but gold" RTS set in the hilariously overly dramatic grimdark world of Warhammer 40K. Campaigns are more than glorified tutorials with memorable stories and situations that are mostly well-produced instead of complete afterthoughts. I haven't had the opportunity to play multiplayer but offline skirmish mode did the trick for me. The graphics and look of the game are definitely retro by now, models are pretty basic but textured well enough to look complex and alive. Animations in-game are fine but very awkward in in-engine cutscenes. Sounds, voice acting, and music hold up very well. The game has definitely aged poorly in terms of accessibility though, with no option to change keybindings, a tutorial that skips unit control shortcuts, and an FOV so low it feels like your face is inches above the ground even when maxed out. I strongly recommend downloading at least a mod to increase that FOV. I also recommend looking into the 'Ultimate Apocaplypse' and 'Unification' mods that completely revamp the game once you've had your fill with the collection's content.
