Beyond Dawn of War II's multiplayer, the central campaign is a step apart from the usual RTS missions. The story follows the Blood Ravens chapter as they guard their recruitment worlds against an alien incursion.

Squad commanders gain experience points throughout their missions, unlocking new abilities and units to follow them into battle. Many can be equipped with unique items, and have their own side-quests. While the game features the core mechanics of an RTS, it is more truthfully a blend of two very different genres.
