Company of Heroes, the acclaimed World War II real-time strategy (RTS) game from Relic Entertainment and ported by Feral Interactive, is finally getting multiplayer! A recent iOS beta update introduces the highly anticipated skirmish mode.
Relic Entertainment, known for the Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War series, also boasts a strong legacy with the Company of Heroes franchise. The original mobile version lacked multiplayer, a significant omission now rectified.
The iOS Company of Heroes now features an online skirmish mode beta. Players can engage in strategic combat using factions inspired by real-world World War II militaries, including Americans, Germans, British forces (from the Opposing Fronts expansion), and the Panzer Elite.
Company of Heroes masterfully blends realistic warfare with accessible RTS gameplay. Superior units don't guarantee victory; tactical mistakes can quickly lead to devastating losses. A poorly positioned infantry squad or exposed tank can be swiftly eliminated.
While some players may have preferred the AI challenge, the addition of multiplayer is a significant boon for fans. This update addresses a major missing feature in the otherwise polished iOS port.
