Warhammer 40K: Soulstorm


Soulstorm is a welcome expansion to the Dawn of War series.Soulstorm has more or less the same things from Dark Crusade except two new races.It is the3rd and most probably the lastaddition to 4 year old real time stategy franchise.The only feature that's really outstanding and unique from Winter Assault and Dark Crusade is the introduction of air units.

A new world, The "System of Kaurava" made by 4 planets and 3 moons. Each planet is occupied by two or more races, each one with its stronghold, its ability and its territories. To win you have to defeat all the factions, by taking their strongholds.

There are two completely new races: Sisters of Battle, and Dark Eldar.The dark eldar has units with strong damage and weak armor. They have the weakest commander and solid relic unit. The Sisters of battle are fanatical women warriors. They are a combination of Imperial guard and the Space Marines. There basic unit is very weak but can take heavy weapons.

Game provides 29 new maps, available also in multiplayer modeIt's simply: it's the only game which gives you the possibility to use 9, an I said "nine", completely different and well-done/balanced races, either in the campaign or with your friends online.

Telling about the technical part of it,the graphic engine is the same that is almost 4 years old.Moreover it,s sound acting is poor and takes too much time to get loaded.

Nevertheless it is good game and at times can be very interesting.So have great time playing it, hope you will like the game.
