'Company of Heroes' Adds Multiplayer to iOS

Company of Heroes, Relic Entertainment's acclaimed RTS title, now boasts multiplayer functionality on mobile, thanks to Feral Interactive's port. A recent iOS beta update introduces the highly anticipated skirmish mode.

Relic Entertainment, known for the Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War series, also holds a special place in many hearts for its World War II RTS, Company of Heroes. The original mobile release lacked multiplayer, a significant omission now rectified.

The iOS Company of Heroes page confirms the arrival of online skirmish mode as a beta feature. Players can engage in competitive battles using factions inspired by real-world World War II militaries, including Americans, Germans, British (UK), and Panzer Elite (from the Opposing Fronts expansion).

Company of Heroes masterfully blends realistic warfare with accessible RTS gameplay. Strategic depth is paramount; superior units don't guarantee victory. A single tactical misstep can quickly decimate exposed infantry or leave tanks vulnerable.

While I've always preferred AI opponents in RTS due to the skill level of some human players, this addition is a significant win for fans. The polished iOS port is now even more complete.
