Story:
Your Blood Raven Space Marines have saved the sector, but can
they save themselves? In Warhammer 40000: Dawn of War II: Chaos
Rising, the sequel to the accled Dawn of War II RTS franchise,
you return to sub sector Aurelia where a long lost frozen ice
planet has reappeared from the Warp, bringing with it new secrets
to uncover and foes to face. Here you must take command of the
Blood Ravens and defend the sector against the forces of the
Black Legion. Purge the chaos filth and hold the chapter together
as traitorous forces work from within to try bring down the Blood
Ravens.
New Missions, Units, Multiplayer Race and Corruption Mechanic:
Dawn of War II struck a new chord in the RTS genre with its
focus on specific unit based strategy with limited reinforcement
options and limited RPG elements, as sed to the generally
repetitive RTS tactic of resource gathering-base building-and
swarming maneuvers. The Chaos Rising expansion to the franchise
follows suit with 15 new single player missions centered on the
players' strategic choice of units; upping the ante further by
including new units for each of the returning in-game races and
even introducing a new race, the traitorous Chaos Space Marines,
who are a playable faction in online multiplayer action. In
addition, players must navigate a new corruption mechanic built
into in single player campaign, which consists of access to new
and dangerous destructive powers. Designed to allow for variation
in completing mission objectives, these powers also carry the
possibility of drawing units closer to the influence of Chaos,
which affects both the mission possibilities as the game
progresses and the overall outcome of the game.
