About Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War - Dark Crusade
Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War - Dark Crusade is a strategy game in which you lead one of seven races in a fight for control of Kronus. Deep beneath the planet’s central desert, excavations awaken the Necrons in a vast necropolis of skull-lined tunnels and funeral chambers. It was built millions of years ago to house the bones of races the Necrons had defeated, and later became their own resting place.
Conquer Kronus
The single-player campaign is non-linear, letting you choose how to conquer the planet as one of seven races. Each race has a distinct storyline told from its perspective. To capture another race’s stronghold, you must win challenging battles on maps associated with that stronghold.
Playable races
The Tau and Necrons join the playable races, bringing the total to seven.
Multiplayer battles
You can battle online across 12 new multiplayer maps, with up to eight players fighting for control.
Customize your forces
As your hero gains power and influence, you can customize their weapons, items and abilities. You can also personalize your army with insignias, squad colors, banners and names.
