Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II: Retribution - The Last Standalone
A 2011 RTS that strips away Dawn of War II's campaign bloat and doubles down on competitive skirmish play across seven faction-specific storylines.
GamerScout Verdict
Solid tactical RTS for single-player skirmish grind, but skip if you need modern graphics or active multiplayer.

Every store in this table quotes us in euros, so the EUR figure is the price the seller actually set, not our arithmetic — which is why EUR is also the currency we rank in. We only list an offer here when the store gives us its price in euros, so nothing in this table is a number we invented.
Pick USD, PLN, GBP, CAD or AUD in the header and we convert from EUR at the European Central Bank reference rate — converted amounts are prefixed with ~. Your bank or the store may apply a different rate at checkout. We never hide offers based on where you are: everyone sees this whole table.
We may earn a commission when you buy games through links on this page — at no extra cost to you. It never affects our rankings or verdicts.

About Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II: Retribution - The Last Standalone
Retribution is the third expansion to Dawn of War II, but it's marketed as standalone because you don't need the base game to play it. The hook is that every faction gets its own single-player campaign with unique units and playstyle quirks - Space Marines, Chaos, Orks, Eldar, Tyranids, Necrons, and the Imperial Guard each feel tactically distinct. The real meat is multiplayer skirmish mode, where you'll grind out resource nodes and build bases in tight, skill-heavy matches that reward army composition and unit micromanagement over zerg rushes. The downside: this is a 2011 game, and it shows in the interface, graphics, and the fact that online matchmaking is basically dead. Single-player campaigns are short and lean more on faction flavor than narrative depth. If you're chasing modern RTS polish or active multiplayer, look elsewhere. But if you want a tactical, unit-focused strategy game that respects your time and doesn't pad content, Retribution still works. The core gameplay loop is solid enough to justify a weekend if you enjoy base-building RTS fundamentals.
