Company of Heroes debuts multiplayer skirmish mode for iOS port

Company of Heroes, the acclaimed World War II real-time strategy (RTS) game from Relic Entertainment and ported by Feral Interactive, is finally getting multiplayer! A recent iOS beta update introduces the highly anticipated skirmish mode.

Relic Entertainment, known for the Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War series, also boasts the popular Company of Heroes franchise. The original mobile version lacked multiplayer, a significant omission now rectified.

The iOS Company of Heroes now features a beta Online Skirmish Mode. Players can engage in strategic battles as various factions, including the Americans, Germans, British (UK), and Panzer Elite (from the Opposing Fronts expansion).

Company of Heroes masterfully balances realistic combat with enjoyable RTS gameplay. Superior units don't guarantee victory; tactical mistakes can quickly lead to devastating losses. A poorly positioned infantry squad or a vulnerable tank can easily be wiped out.

While some players excel at micromanagement and strategic build orders, this multiplayer addition is a welcome boon for those who previously preferred the AI. For iOS players who missed this crucial feature, this is undoubtedly exciting news.
