Visit a dark, distant, gothic future and take real-time command of powerful armies to wage intense, tactical battles in the name of freedom or justice. Following Warhammer 40,000: Fire Warrior, this is the second game based on the franchise to be published by THQ. Like all Warhammer 40,000 games, Dawn of War is set in the futuristic fantasy universe of Game Workshop's tabletop war game, which first became popular in the late 1980s. Relic Entertainment is known for its original Homeworld, a fully 3D, deep-space real-time strategy game, as well as its more traditional RTS, Impossible Creatures. ~ T.J. Deci, All Game Guide
