Retribution is extremely linear and it's all super tight corridors. DoW2 had massive open maps with free approaches, while Chaos Rising way more directed, more linear. There are less loot and less missions, but the customization level is just as rich through this.ĭawn of War 2: Retribution is a step back from both of the previous entries. The personality of your characters through the story change depending on corruption levels, and so does the ending (5 variations). But instead, it has a new corruption mechanics which you must fight to stay clean of (and very slowly build up bonuses for it) or get weaker as your character lose abilities as they are transformed into negative traits and even lose access to certain equipment, however you can directly fasten this corruption which then, given you are deeply corrupted, gives it's own massive bonuses, strong new skills and equipment, so corruption can also be a temptation. Chaos Rising is more of the same, however with extremely limited number of sidemissions and no infinite sidemission generation.
Though it's a new story so in theory you could skip to this, however I would not for to appriciate Chaos Rising for it's many values you should play Dawn of War 2 base game campaign first. You go through a linear storyline but you choose which mission to play, and while one option always rolls the story forward, there are also unique sidemissions and infinitely generated sidemissions (typically defend areas you cleansed before in earlier missions), which is an awesome playground to level up your squads and try out various tactics and builds through many-many playthroughs in so many situations and with so many different loot.ĭawn of War 2: Chaos Rising is a direct sequel to the base game, following the same characters. It is also the weakest part that does not represent even half of the potential how good this game can be.ĭawn of War 2 has a half sandbox, half linear campaign. Short answer is yes, long answer is yes but not yet for you.įirst of all, Retribution can be enjoyed on it's own, despite being the third act of a story that goes through DoW2, Chaos Rising, and Retribution.
