Fans of real-time strategy games have reason to celebrate as Company of Heroes, the acclaimed RTS from Relic Entertainment and ported by Feral Interactive, introduces multiplayer to its mobile version. The recent iOS beta has rolled out the much-anticipated Skirmish Mode, allowing players to engage in head-to-head battles with factions inspired by the real-life militaries of World War Two.
Relic Entertainment, known for the Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War series, has a special place in the hearts of many for their World War Two RTS series, Company of Heroes. Initially released on mobile without multiplayer, the game now fills this gap with the introduction of Online Skirmish Mode as a beta feature. This update enables players to compete against each other using various factions, including the Americans and Germans, as well as the UK and Panzer Elite from the Opposing Fronts expansion.
Company of Heroes has always been celebrated for its ability to blend realistic warfare with engaging RTS gameplay. The game's dynamic balance means that success isn't just about deploying the most expensive units; a single misstep can lead to devastating losses, whether it's infantry caught in the open or a tank struck in its vulnerable spots.
For those who prefer facing off against AI due to the skill and micromanagement prowess of human opponents, the addition of multiplayer in the polished iOS version of this RTS classic is a significant milestone. If you've been eagerly awaiting this feature, today marks a pivotal moment for you.
