Relic Entertainment, renowned for the Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War series, has also captured the hearts of many with their World War II real-time strategy (RTS) game, Company of Heroes. Initially released on mobile, the game was missing a crucial feature—multiplayer. However, that's about to change, and fans of the series have reason to rejoice.
Exciting news has surfaced on the iOS page for Company of Heroes: the long-awaited Online Skirmish Mode is now available as a beta feature. This addition allows players to engage in battles against each other, selecting from a variety of factions inspired by real-life World War II militaries. Whether you choose to command the Americans, Germans, or opt for the UK and Panzer Elite factions from the Opposing Fronts expansion, the choice is yours.
Company of Heroes is celebrated for its unique blend of realistic warfare and engaging RTS gameplay. It's not just about deploying the most expensive units; strategic missteps can lead to devastating consequences, such as infantry being decimated in open fields or tanks being pierced in their vulnerable spots.
There goes my (Company of) Hero(es)I've always found single-player skirmishes against AI opponents more appealing in RTS games, largely due to the impressive skill levels of some players in managing build orders and micromanaging units. For those who have been eagerly awaiting the inclusion of multiplayer in this polished iOS rendition of the RTS classic, this update marks a significant milestone.
