In response, Relic has this time chosen to make levels more scripted and individual, a change that’s almost unanimously for the better. Developer Relic has taken onboard the criticism of the wash, rinse, repeat level design of Dawn of War 2 which saw you endlessly slogging through similar levels to take on a high level boss character. Getting the best out of him does require plenty of micro management though, so players may prefer to bench him in favour of the more familiar squads – it’s hard to turn down a Dreadnaught walking tank, after all.Īs the single player campaign unfolds though, it becomes clear that it’s not quite business as usual for Chaos Rising. Given time and dedication it’s possible to turn Jonah from a vulnerable healer into a spell-casting powerhouse. His initially basic array of spells can be upgraded and customised by using different sets of wargear, as well as the returning level-up system. A solo character squad like the Force Commander, Jonah slots in nicely with the existing squads as more of a support class, casting spells from afar and buffing allies. There’s also the addition of a new squad in the form of Jonah the Librarian. Avitus’ devastator marines provide heavy weapons support from range, Thaddeus’ assault marines bring flaming chainsword death from the sky and so on.
All six squads from original return too, led by the same familiar faces and each best suited for a specific combat role. Instead it follows the main game's overall template, with the base building of other RTS' replaced with smaller, more personable squads.
The Chaos marines come into conflict with your own troop of Blood Ravens when the planet Aurellia, long since lost to the ravages of the warp, suddenly reappears back on the galactic map and every faction in the fiction decides they want a piece of it.Īs a direct follow up to Dawn of War 2 little has changed when it comes to Chaos Rising's core gameplay.
