Relic Entertainment's acclaimed real-time strategy (RTS) game, Company of Heroes, brought to mobile by Feral Interactive, is finally getting the highly anticipated multiplayer mode! A recent iOS beta introduces the much-requested skirmish mode, letting players engage in intense battles as iconic World War II factions.
While Relic Entertainment is celebrated for the Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War series, many also hold a special place in their hearts for the Company of Heroes WWII RTS series. The original mobile release, while excellent, lacked multiplayer—a crucial element for many RTS fans. That changes now.
The iOS page for Company of Heroes proudly announces the arrival of Online Skirmish Mode in beta. Players can now face off against each other as the Americans, Germans, British (from the Opposing Fronts expansion), and Panzer Elite.
Company of Heroes masterfully blends realistic warfare with engaging RTS gameplay. It's not simply about fielding the most expensive units; tactical awareness and smart maneuvering are key to victory. A poorly positioned infantry squad or a vulnerable tank can quickly lead to devastating losses.
While I personally enjoyed the AI challenges in Company of Heroes, I understand the excitement for the addition of multiplayer. The skill level of some RTS players is truly impressive. For those who missed this key feature in the polished iOS version, this is undoubtedly fantastic news.
