For example, sending a squad of battle-weary paratroopers to free a critical town is often a recipe for disaster, so sending them for some R&R before returning them to the frontline makes more sense than risking a squad of soldiers.
#Will there ever be a company of heroes 3 series#
Sweeping your forces across the overworld to free towns, destroying enemy roadblocks and intercepting German detachments before going toe-to-toe in skirmishes and scripted missions adds a new layer of tactical gameplay not seen in the series previously. Between skirmishes, letters from soldiers tell tales of their victories, defeats and everything in between, whilst both campaigns explore the cruelty of war from both ends of the spectrum.ĭespite a traditional campaign providing a ‘true’, more linear, Company of Heroes experience, the Italian campaign features an expansive, dynamic map, combining the more familiar Company of Heroes experience with turn-based strategy elements more akin to Civilisation. Across both campaigns, the level of destruction caused by the extent of WW2 brutally echoes – Italian villages lie crumbling, coastal towns along the Riviera suffer under the weight of constant bombardments from the sea, the dunes of Africa littered with the ghostly remains of both Axis and Allied tanks. Not that it has much competition, but with almost two decades of the Company of Heroes series being the premier modern-era RTS experience, it’s easy to see why other genre developers leave handling this particular point in history to the experts.Īnd once again, Relic has created an entry that boasts its signature tactical combat while successfully depicting the emotional weight of one of the most critical turning points in modern history.

In some respects, Relic’s latest World War 2 RTS feels like an extension of its predecessors, but thanks to some fantastic new features, it’s one of the most impressive RTS’ to grace the genre.
