Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II: Retribution is a standalone expansion pack that seeks to continue the success of the Dawn War series. Developed by Feral Interactive, this game is set in the fictional universe of Warhammer, known for its factions and gore visuals. The expansion introduces a new faction, the Imperial Guard, and new campaigns for all game races.

The game is set in the Sub-sector Aurelia. The developers have taken an innovative approach to the genre of real-time strategy (RTS) by incorporating elements of the popular MOBA genre. Players have control over a squad of units led by a hero and complete missions at different locations in the game's universe. The hero levels up, gathers items of different rarity, and learns new skills and abilities to overcome enemies and bosses.

The game still has base building, albeit in a truncated form. In multiplayer mode, players must develop their outpost. The expansion also adds a new hero to the roster and new enemy types to beat. Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II: Retribution is a must-play for fans of the series and the Warhammer universe.
