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 is known for the Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War series, but many also cherish their Company of Heroes 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 battle as various factions, including the Americans and Germans, and those from the Opposing Fronts expansion (UK and Panzer Elite).
Company of Heroes masterfully blends realistic warfare with accessible RTS gameplay. Strategic depth is paramount; superior units don't guarantee victory. A single misstep can easily decimate exposed infantry or leave a tank vulnerable.
While I've always preferred AI opponents due to the skill of some human players, this update is fantastic news for those who missed this crucial element in the otherwise excellent iOS port.
