Fans of the renowned RTS game Company of Heroes from Relic Entertainment, now ported by Feral Interactive to mobile, have reason to celebrate. Multiplayer, a highly anticipated feature, has finally arrived with the introduction of an Online Skirmish Mode in a recent iOS beta. This exciting addition allows players to engage in head-to-head battles with others, choosing from factions inspired by World War II militaries, including the Americans, Germans, and the expanded UK and Panzer Elite factions from the Opposing Fronts expansion.
Company of Heroes has always been celebrated for its ability to blend realistic warfare with engaging RTS gameplay. It's not just about deploying the most powerful units; strategic missteps can leave your infantry exposed to enemy fire or your tanks vulnerable to attack. This balance of tactics and action has made the game a classic in the genre.
I must admit, I've always leaned towards playing against the AI in RTS games due to the sheer skill level of some players, who excel in their build orders and unit micromanagement. For those of you who have been eagerly awaiting this feature in the polished iOS version of this RTS classic, this update marks a significant milestone.
