Once your unit attacks a city or meets up with an enemy unit, a real-time battle will begin – which takes you to the usual Company of Heroes’ RTS battle. If you capture an airfield on the map, you can also purchase planes to help you out to maintain air superiority, do a recon (which will open the fog of war on the map), and more.

There are of course other factors in play when you are attacking such as being able to call for a coastal bombardment (assuming you have a Battleship or so nearby). This is done through a turn-based system where you can move your companies (which consist of units and detachments) around the map like a chess piece.Įach company will have a range of movement and can normally do one action like attacking an enemy unit, defense placements, or cities. Here, you have a layout of the big map where you can take cities, attack encampments and defenses, recruit companies of different Allies Factions, spend skill points, and more. It’s certainly the franchise’s first take on creating a dynamic campaign through a sandbox-style gameplay, which takes place in Italy during the World War II. One is a dynamic, sandbox game mode which is a resemblance of the Total War series and the other one is a short, scripted Campaign that we knew of from the previous games. In Company of Heroes 3, there are two types of campaigns. The most obvious one is the single player element, or the Campaign – which is the heart of Company of Heroes series. Thankfully, these elements are still in Company of Heroes 3 which make the game as fun as its predecessor (and they have now added tank riding, high ground bonus, etc), though there are definitely some disappointments.

I loved the World War II setting but it’s mostly because how well-crafted and well-designed the games were.ĭestructible environment, its cover system (which I think was the first in RTS back then – I could be mistaken), veterancy system, and animation detail arere just some of the things I love within the series. However, none could actually give me the thrills and fun of Company of Heroes.

I played lots of RTS games back in the days like Warcraft, Command and Conquer, Starcraft, and alike. Company of Heroes 3 Review (Campaign) – The previous Company of Heroes were my most favourite RTS (Real Time Strategy) games of all time.
