Company of Heroes 3
Summary
Company of Heroes 3 brings the beloved World War II real-time strategy series to the Mediterranean theatre. Set in Italy and North Africa, the game offers a fresh perspective on the conflict, moving away from the well-trodden battlefields of Normandy and the Eastern Front.
The game features two distinct single-player campaigns. The Italian campaign introduces a dynamic turn-based strategic layer, allowing players to plan their conquest of the peninsula. This sandbox-style approach offers unprecedented strategic freedom, though it may take some getting used to. The North African campaign, on the other hand, provides a more traditional linear experience, putting players in command of the Afrika Korps.
At its core, Company of Heroes 3 remains true to the series’ strengths. The tactical battles are as intense and engaging as ever, with a focus on unit positioning, cover, and combined arms warfare. The destructible environments and attention to detail create a visceral and immersive experience.
The game launches with four playable factions: US Forces, British Forces, Wehrmacht, and Afrikakorps. Each faction brings unique units and strategies to the table, ensuring plenty of variety in both single-player and multiplayer modes.
With its blend of strategic depth and tactical action, Company of Heroes 3 aims to satisfy both long-time fans and newcomers to the series. The game’s ambitious scope and new features make it a worthy addition to the franchise, even if some elements may require fine-tuning post-launch.
