I will need another, better and closer look at gameplay. It looks low budget and janky as hell, but not utterly hopeless. That weird grid look is concerning, but maybe it's just for trailer to showcase two armies going at each other. Other than this it looks like they try to just design it avoiding what people disliked about DoW3 and what like in general
>4 factions again instead of only 3
>Necrons because people wanted them in DoW3
>Mechanicus because people love them everywhere where they show up, be it their own game, Darktide or Rogue Trader where their companion steals the show
>DoW2/Coh style cover system since people hated what Relic did in DoW3
>DoW2 characters because people love them
>But bigger battles instead of small scale DoW2 stuff
>And base building

Putting hated squig subfaction of Orks into the game is weird tho. And gameplay really looked janky here. Units even look like they forget orders. And sounds are flat too. And that FPS drop during Dreadnought sync kill lol
