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 the popular Company of Heroes franchise. The original mobile port lacked multiplayer, a significant omission now rectified.
The iOS Company of Heroes page confirms the arrival of online skirmish mode in beta. Players can now engage in competitive battles using factions inspired by real-world World War II militaries, including Americans, Germans, British (UK), and Panzer Elite (from the Opposing Fronts expansion).
Company of Heroes masterfully blends realistic warfare with accessible RTS gameplay. Strategic depth is paramount; superior units alone won't guarantee victory. Poor positioning can quickly decimate infantry or expose vulnerable tank armor.
While I personally preferred the AI opponents due to the skill level of some human players, this addition is a major win for fans who missed this crucial aspect of the iOS version.
