Relic Entertainment's acclaimed real-time strategy (RTS) game, Company of Heroes, now boasts multiplayer capabilities thanks to a port by Feral Interactive. A recent iOS beta introduces the highly anticipated skirmish mode. Players can engage in intense battles as factions inspired by World War II militaries.
While Relic Entertainment is renowned for the Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War series, many cherish their World War II RTS, Company of Heroes. The original mobile version lacked multiplayer, a significant omission now rectified.
The iOS Company of Heroes page proudly announces the online skirmish mode beta. This allows players to compete using factions such as the Americans, Germans, British, and Panzer Elite (from the Opposing Fronts expansion).
Company of Heroes masterfully blends realistic warfare with accessible RTS gameplay. Superior units don't guarantee victory; tactical mistakes can quickly lead to devastating losses. A poorly positioned infantry squad or a vulnerable tank can easily be overwhelmed.
While I personally preferred the AI opponents due to the skill level of some human players, the addition of online skirmish mode is a momentous occasion for fans who have been requesting this feature.
For those seeking to expand their strategic gaming horizons, the mobile platform offers a wealth of excellent strategy titles. Explore our list of the top 25 best strategy games for Android and iOS to discover a range of RTS and grand strategy games that will challenge your skills.
