Company of Heroes, Relic Entertainment's acclaimed real-time strategy (RTS) game, ported by Feral Interactive, is finally getting multiplayer! A recent iOS beta update introduces the highly anticipated skirmish mode. Prepare for intense battles using factions inspired by World War II's iconic militaries.
While Relic Entertainment is known for the Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War series, many also cherish their Company of Heroes WWII RTS franchise. The original mobile version lacked multiplayer, a significant omission now rectified.
The iOS Company of Heroes page reveals the exciting news: online skirmish mode is available in beta. Players can now engage in head-to-head combat as various factions, including the Americans, Germans, British (from the Opposing Fronts expansion), and Panzer Elite.
Company of Heroes masterfully balances realistic warfare with enjoyable RTS gameplay. Superior units don't guarantee victory; tactical errors can quickly decimate exposed infantry or leave tanks vulnerable.
A Hero's Return
Personally, I preferred the AI in RTS games, as some human players possess incredible build order skills and micromanagement abilities. For those who missed this crucial feature in the polished iOS version, this is undoubtedly fantastic news.
