Company of Heroes debuts multiplayer skirmish mode for iOS port

by

  • Company of Heroes, the hit RTS from Relic entertainment, ported by Feral interactive, is getting multiplayer!
  • A recent iOS beta sees the addition of the highly-requested skirmish mode feature
  • Duke it out as factions inspired by the real-life militaries of World War Two

Regarding Relic Entertainment, while they’re widely recognized for the popular Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War series, others have a soft spot for their World War II real-time strategy (RTS) series, Company of Heroes. The initial version was released on mobile platforms some time ago, but lacked one essential element, multiplayer functionality. However, that gap is now being filled.

Absolutely! On the iOS page for Company of Heroes, I found exciting information about the launch of Online Skirmish Mode as a beta version. This means you can now engage in battles with other players by choosing from among the available factions such as the Americans and Germans, or the newly added UK and Panzer Elite factions included in the Opposing Fronts expansion.

Company of Heroes is cherished for its ability to blend authentic warfare with enjoyable RTS gameplay elements. It’s not just about possessing the costlier unit, as a single misstep could see your infantry riddled or an armored vehicle exposed and vulnerable.


There goes my (Company of) Hero(es)

I openly acknowledge that I found it more satisfying to engage in combat against AI opponents rather than artificial intelligence in real-time strategy (RTS) games, due to the impressive understanding and management skills some players demonstrated with their build orders and unit control. For those of you who have been missing this significant feature in the sleek iOS version of this renowned RTS game, I imagine today is a very exciting day for you.
