Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War 2 shifts the RTS genre towards squad-based gameplay, ditching resource gathering and base building for a more tactical, RPG-infused experience. With its unique blend of intense micromanagement and satisfying combat, it offers a fresh take on the franchise. Despite its enjoyable gameplay, the campaign's repetitive mission structure and limited unit choice hold it back.
After a decade off Steam, Eugen Systems' WW2 RTS Ruse is back, complete with all original DLC, technical updates, and full Steam Deck support. Despite its 2010 roots and a $30 price tag that's drawn some criticism, the game's re-release has been met with overwhelmingly positive user reviews. Ruse's return is a welcome surprise for strategy fans, offering a very good, albeit unremastered, RTS experience.
