A massive wave of German armor arrives that sees your forces pushed back to the near point of destruction before your – scripted – reinforcements arrive. It's a dramatic depiction of zipping airplanes, trundling tanks, and roaring anti-aircraft gunsĪ high note occurs early on in a challenging defensive effort on a map that you have spent the last couple missions slowly conquering. You can also use a convenient pop-up wheel to make specific orders.

There’s none of the tedious resource-gathering and base-building that you’ll find in those games more directly influenced by Warcraft. It focuses tightly on World War II tactics, as you control a handful of squads rather than a whole army, as they attempt to take back the hedgerows of northern France in the Battle of Normandy.
If you’ve got an Android or iOS device, and you love real-time strategy, Company of Heroes might be the game for you. Improbably, this experience has arrived in the form of a port for a fourteen-year-old classic. Where the titans of the genre measure skill partly in clicks-per-minute, it’s tough to imagine a solid RTS experience that brings that same micro-management to a touchscreen.
