  • Summary: Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War – Soulstorm is set in Games Workshop’s Warhammer 40,000 universe – a dark, futuristic, fantasy setting where armies of technologically advanced warriors, fighting machines and hordes of implacable aliens wage constant war – and is played by millions worldwide. Soulstorm is a complete standalone title and features two all-new armies, including the malicious Dark Eldar, for an unprecedented total of nine playable races. In addition to new units across each of the seven existing races, Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War – Soulstorm incorporates air units for the first time and introduce multiplayer medals, adding a whole new level of depth to online battles. The revolutionary meta-game introduced in Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War – Dark Crusade is further expanded to an interplanetary scale in Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War – Soulstorm, allowing players to battle across an entire star system.

    Soulstorm should have introduced decent air forces, not just these handful of hovering tank-like units. Otherwise a fun expansion as always. [Apr 2008]

    There's nothing new under the Dawn of War sun. Soulstorm is just a repeat of the Dark Crusade expansion, with two different factions thrown into the mix. It might be worth a look for those who absolutely have to complete the series, but most will get just as much mileage from the previous expansion.

    It seems that as soon as Relic Entertainment gave the reigns to Iron Lore Entertainment a bit of the soul that breathes life into Dawn of War was extinguished.

    METAL BOXES! this is the cry of Firraeveus Carron, the champion of chaos as he boldly stikes at the space marines attacking rhinos. the units response lists are limited, reptitive, and overall really annoying. The cutscene scripts are highly laughable ensuring a high humor quality to the game. But unfortunatly thats not what DoW is about. Its campaign mode is ripped from DC and the aircraft is enough to make the Emperor himself break down in tears with how low quality they are. If you plan on buying this game, do it to laugh at the campaign mode (I reccomend chaos for this one) or the multiplayer which is alright, but not as good as Dark Crusade.… Expand

    Of all the three I would call it the worst expansion. Really. The campaign is all the same as DC pick your side and pwn everyone non-sense. I wanted a decent storyline for once. Air units are absolute trash. The whole point of air force IRL is to fly by barraging/bombarding and be out of enemy's reach in seconds while in SS they just hover above like some awkward tanks that can't meleed bringing absolutely nothing new to the game while being buggy as hell. Could as well be a paid DLC. Imo to pricey even for an expansion.… Expand
