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 introduces the highly anticipated skirmish mode, letting you clash with other players as iconic factions inspired by the real-life militaries of World War II.
While Relic Entertainment is known for the Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War series, many fondly remember the original Company of Heroes. Its mobile release, however, initially lacked multiplayer—a crucial element for many RTS fans. That changes now.
The iOS version of Company of Heroes now boasts an online skirmish mode beta. Engage in intense battles as the Americans and Germans, or expand your options with the UK and Panzer Elite factions from the Opposing Fronts expansion.
Company of Heroes masterfully blends realistic warfare with accessible RTS gameplay. It's not simply about fielding the most expensive units; strategic positioning and tactical awareness are paramount. One wrong move can quickly lead to devastating losses.
While I've always preferred facing AI opponents in RTS games due to the skill level of some human players, the addition of multiplayer is a significant improvement for Company of Heroes on iOS. For those who missed this key feature, this is undoubtedly exciting news.
