So what does Soulstorm bring to the table? Most notable are the two new factions, the Sisters of Battle and the Dark Eldar. But for a few new graphics and some subtle differences in the new factions, I felt like I was playing the same game I had a few years ago. While Dawn of War: Soulstorm is entertaining, there’s just nothing here that moves the series forward in any way.

And that age that was starting to show a few years ago? Still there in spades. And now we fast forward to 2008, and once again we have a Dawn of War expansion with, well, a few new races, an almost exact copy of that non-linear campaign, and a handful of new units. Sure, the game was showing a little age, as it was a few years old. It did just about everything right for an expansion-new races, a fun new non-linear campaign, and a handful of units to round things out. A little over a year ago, Dawn of War released a very fun expansion, Dark Crusade. Sometimes a developer just has to realize when it’s time to move on.
