Company of Heroes, Relic Entertainment's acclaimed real-time strategy (RTS) game, 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 World War II RTS, Company of Heroes. The original mobile version lacked multiplayer, a significant omission now rectified.
The iOS Company of Heroes page announces the arrival of online skirmish mode in beta. Players can battle as various factions, including the Americans and Germans, plus the British and Panzer Elite from the Opposing Fronts expansion.
Company of Heroes cleverly balances realistic warfare with accessible RTS gameplay. Superior units aren't guaranteed victory; tactical errors can quickly decimate your forces.
While I've always preferred AI opponents due to the skill level of some human players, this is excellent news for those who missed multiplayer in the polished iOS version.
