	After the game was released, the reception was [[Skub\|mixed]] to say the least. Those who like the game say that the traditional "build and conquer" RTS campaign is a refreshing change for those who didn't like Dawn of War II's [[Diablo]]-style campaign, and while Paul Dobson is sorely missed, the rest of the voice cast isn't too bad. The Elites system is a natural progression from Dawn of War II, and the Ork's [[WAAAGH]]! mechanic is one of the best things ever put into a Dawn of War game. Additionally, they point out that while the power core mode is too simple, it does give a good introduction to the RTS genre for those who are brand new rather than just throwing them to the wolves like other games.

	After Relic announced they were stepping away from the game, a small community of fans and modders tried rallying together in an attempt to resurrect Dawn of War III through Twitch streams, community game nights, and new mods. The goal was to generate enough interest to get Relic to return to the game, or at least release more mod tools so the fans could pick up where they left off.

	Dawn of War III suffered pretty terribly from Relic basically having lost all the staff who made the original two ~~dawn~~ of ~~war~~ games in the intervening years and had to be replaced by a bunch of people less familiar with the genre or the expectations of the series. Like a lot of companies, the focus on the brand name obscures the fact that few people actually remain with a company over a long period of time, especially when Relic transferred over to Sega after THQ bit the dust and a lot of Relic's former talent left the studio with the collapse of their former publisher. This more than anything, hit the development cycle of Dawn of War III pretty hard, as well as a confused set of developmental priorities and the loss of the people who gave the previous two games their strong art direction, leading to a much less eye-catching aesthetic. While not an Aliens: Colonial Marines scale disaster in terms of development cycle, Dawn of War III was in many ways hamstrung before it ever left the gate.

	There were clearly a lot of interesting and good ideas, there was the potential for a great traditional base-building RTS game to revive a genre many publishers regard as no longer worth major investment into. It's just that the execution was left in ~~the~~ less than capable hands ~~given~~ a ~~Brand~~ they weren't ready to bear the burden of. Dawn of War III's failure hurts not because it's irredeemably bad but because beneath all the many, horrible flaws is a lot of wasted or unrealised potential for something that could have been as good or better than its predecessors. All it needed was that same strong sense of direction they ~~did rather than being~~ a confused mess thrown together by a relatively inexperienced team under corporate mandate to get ''something'' out for early 2017 on the PC market while the golden child of Creative Assembly was still putting Total War: Warhammer II together.

	* '''Warboss [[Gorgutz 'Ead 'Unter]]:''' Returning during his absence after Soulstorm, Gorgutz is back with a bigger and badder power klaw (with a retractable chain, no less). He starts out in the service of another Warboss named Gitstompa, and apparently always planned to Sindri him (though the Eldar unwittingly turn him into the Warboss of the Bad Moons WAAAGH! after they kill Gitstompa, believing that killing him would scatter the Ork horde). He's racing against the other factions for the pointy-stick. At some point gets sort of tricked by Ronahn into fighting a heavily defended Eldar base defending the vaults entrance. Macha told him she wanted the other Eldar dead, and told them they were both trying to get the spear, but Ronahn "forgot" to mention the bit about their entrance being heavily defended, which somewhat makes Gorgutz a dumbass for actually trusting dem sneaky knife ears. In the end Gorgutz is ''technically'' the canon winner because he went away with his "pointy stikk" once the daemon was slain, though they did ''let'' him get away with it and the Spear itself was depowered due to the daemon no longer being inside of it.		* '''Warboss [[Gorgutz 'Ead 'Unter]]:''' Returning during his absence after Soulstorm, Gorgutz is back with a bigger and badder power klaw (with a retractable chain, no less).
