Description

Company of Heroes, from the developers of Warhammer 40K Dawn of War, is a real-time strategy game that drops you into the fray of World War II Europe. From the bloody beaches of Omaha to the deadly firefights of the Bocage, you attempt to lead your troops to victory one battle at a time.

What really sets Company of Heroes apart from other real-time strategy games, much like Relic Entertainment's previous entry, is that you no longer train and control individual troops. Instead you deploy squads of soldiers. Players must train a balanced assortment of units in order to obtain victory over their adversaries.

In addition, resource gathering has gone in a different direction from that of other RTS games. Players must attempt to capture and control strategic points which bring in the much needed resources of manpower, munitions and fuel to build and train new units.

The game's Essence engine brings a level of depth to RTS games with deformable terrain and completely destructible environments. Units will take cover in burnt out craters and tanks can decimate buildings suspected of containing snipers.

The game comes with three modes of play - single-player campaign, single-player skirmish and online multiplayer

The Collector’s Edition comes in a metal case and included bonus items:

  • Interactive Bonus DVD
  • Authentic D-Day Map
  • Vehicle ID Quiz Cards
  • Field Survival Guide
