The new factions are interesting to play and feel reasonably well balanced. From the Chaos Marines' Warp energies and Nurgle's plagues to the Orks' ever-growing Waaagh!, the six sides present unique mechanics and solid, powerful tactical possibilities. Unless you're going to dive into multiplayer, though, Retribution is a mediocre expansion pack even though the base gameplay is still quite good. Pick up Chaos Rising instead, which you should have done anyway because it is fantastic.

"This week when I was scrolling through my Steam library for a game to play I was stumped, until I found a mod which brought fresh air to an old classic. The game was the legendary Dawn of War series by Relic. The Dawn of War expansions; Winter Assault, Dark Crusade and Soulstorm along with other stand-alone titles like Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine, give the universe the justice it rightly deserved."
During E3 2016, SEGA and Relic Entertainment showed off a gameplay demo for Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War III, hereafter referred to simply as Dawn of War III. The presentation was narrated by campaign lead Brent Disbrow, who guided us through a Space Marine mission.
I'm surprised they disliked the new campaign style, I think it was in the right direction for how the original should have been. This game has A LOT of replay value, that's for sure.
