This remaster is just like I remember playing Dawn of War when it first came out. The updated textures, shadows, and other gameplay improvements are really nice. There seems to be an issue with using the mouse and clicking on upgrades for the units, but using the keyboard shortcuts works just fine. If you enjoyed Dawn of War the first time, you'll enjoy the game this time as well.
Of the time that I have played of this game, it is the 2D Dark Souls that fans of the series and genre have been looking for. Art Direction - The pixelated graphics and 3D (only some) create an awesome aesthetic. I really love the character designs as they are colorful, creative, and voice acted. The voice acting is well done and works well with the game. I am very happy with the look of the game. Combat - Combat at first can feel slow and clunky; but so did Dark Souls at first. As a player, timing is everything and using the roll and dash will be very helpful to learn. The character has stamina that iss consumed during rolling, attacking, and blocking. The player will regenerate their stamina, but based on their endurance stat, it depends on how fast. The player has a number of profiles they can choose from to start the game. Based on the starting profile will also determine your starting weapon, a long sword, axe, scythe, broadsword, or halberd. Once the player starts to level up, the character will be stronger, faster and more resiliant. Gameplay - The player saves their progress through shrines to Death. When the player rests there, the game is saved and the players progress is saved as well. There is no fast travel, but so far, that doesn't seem to be a big negative. The game is worth the price of admission and for fans of Dark Souls and games like those, you will enjoy this game!
