Company of Heroes iOS: New Multiplayer Skirmish Mode Launched

Fans of real-time strategy games have reason to celebrate as Company of Heroes, the acclaimed title from Relic Entertainment and ported by Feral Interactive, now introduces multiplayer to its iOS version. The recent beta test on iOS heralds the arrival of the much-anticipated Skirmish Mode, allowing players to engage in thrilling battles inspired by World War Two factions.

Relic Entertainment, known for their iconic Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War series, has brought their World War II RTS, Company of Heroes, to mobile devices. Initially released without multiplayer, the game has now filled this gap with the introduction of the Online Skirmish Mode in its beta phase. This feature lets you command factions such as the Americans and Germans, along with the UK and Panzer Elite from the Opposing Fronts expansion.

Company of Heroes is renowned for its unique blend of realistic warfare and engaging RTS gameplay. It's not just about deploying the most powerful units; strategic missteps can lead to devastating losses, whether it's infantry caught in the open or tanks hit in their weak spots.

There goes my (Company of) Hero(es)

Personally, I've always found facing off against AI in RTS games more enjoyable due to the sheer skill of some human opponents in managing build orders and unit micromanagement. For those who have been eagerly awaiting this feature in the polished iOS port of this RTS classic, today marks a significant milestone.
