Dawn of War II: Retribution was being shown at GamesCom. The thing that THQ were showing off the most was the Orcs, which are one of the playable races in this edition of the game.

Dawn of War II: Retribution is set ten years after Chaos Rising, and will be instantly familiar to anyone who has played the other Dawn of War II Games. THQ have made a number of refinements, however. The characters are much more customiseable in this version, and you can get an up-close and personal view of the characters in our army, giving you the chance to enjoy the detail of the units even more than in previous versions.

The new Army Builder allows you to make units on the field via a War Banner, which allows for a much more dynamic feel in battles.

At the end of each mission you acrue rewards which can be used to improve your armies.

The demo was fairly short, but from what we saw, Dawn of War II: Retribution looks to be a promising addition to the Dawn of War family. If you're a fan of the series, it will be well worth checking out.
