DESCRIPTION

Delivering a visceral WWII gaming experience, Company of Heroes redefines real time strategy gaming by bringing the sacrifice of heroic soldiers, war-ravaged environments, and dynamic battlefields to life. Beginning with the D-Day Invasion of Normandy, players lead squads of Allied soldiers into battle against the German war machine through some of the most pivotal battles of WWII. Through a rich single player campaign, players experience the cinematic intensity and bravery of ordinary soldiers thrust into extraordinary events.

• A Cinematic Single Player Experience that captures the turmoil of WWII as never before.
• Advanced squad AI brings your soldiers to life as they interact with the changing environment, take cover, and execute advanced squad tactics to eliminate all enemy opposition.
• Stunning Visuals – Relic’s next generation cutting-edge engine provides graphic quality and a physics driven world that is unprecedented in an RTS.
• Environmental Strategy – Real-time physics and a completely destructible environment guarantee no two battles ever play out in the same way. Destroy anything and re-shape the battlefield! Use buildings and terrain to your advantage, or deny them to the enemy.
• 2-8 Player Multiplayer Competition via LAN or Internet – Go online with friends and join the ultimate battle of Axis versus Allies.

Reviews

“It’s beautiful, though that’s entirely the wrong word. This is a war game, so the word should be “visceral” or something. Models are hugely detailed for an RTS, physics implemented impressively and so on. But relevantly, it’s a functional sort of beauty (or – er – viscerality).”
10/10 – Eurogamer

“Company of Heroes should be on the must-play list of every RTS fanatic out there, even those tired of WWII settings. It’s just that good.”
9.6/10 – PC Gamer

“The transformation from a idyllic little town into a heap of crushed buildings and burned out husks of vehicles can be shocking. Seeing and hearing major explosions that cause bodies (and bits of bodies) to fly across the screen along with rubble from a nearby building simply puts you more into the battle than any RTS in memory.”
9.4/10 – IGN
