Game Summary
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. The game comes with three
modes of play -- single-player campaign, single-player skirmish
and online multiplayer. All the missions in the single-player
campaign take place during the Battle of Normandy (codename
Operation Overlord) and are played from the perspective of the
American Able Company (part of the 29th Infantry Division) and Fox
Company (101st Airborne Division). More varied maps are available
in the skirmish and multiplayer modes, including many added
through patches.
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. Most units can be upgraded and equipped with special
accessories that are either more powerful or suited for specific
tasks. For example, the M4 "Crocodile" Sherman can smash through
hedgerows when equipped with the Bulldozer upgrade. This is
normally impossible for tanks in the game. Allied units can also
advance through a progression system that awards XP for killing
enemies and destroying hostile structures, while Axis units gain
veterancy at the Kampfkraft Center through research. In both cases
they become more effective in combat.
There's also a progression system for the players themselves,
called Company Commander. It rewards XP for successful attacks and
controlling territory sectors, which can then be invested in a
two-branched ability tree. Each faction has three ability trees.
The Allied forces trees include Infantry Company, Airborne Company
and Armor Company, while the Axis has the Defensive Doctrine,
Blitzkrieg Doctrine and Terror Doctrine. The nature of the
abilities are diverse. Some may be used to call airborne support,
including bombardment, while others can call in special units such
as paratroopers, the King Tiger or the Calliope Rocket Launcher.
At the same time, there are others which can give temporary
bonuses to existing troops or capabilities to units that normally
can't perform them. This way, riflemen can be used to construct
defensive structures (tank traps, sandbags etc.), for example.
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. At the
same time it's necessary to have the right base buildings to
deploy units on the battlefield, such as a tank depot to create
tanks, barracks for riflemen, and motor pools for light armored
vehicles. Only the Allied engineers and the Axis pioneers can
raise new buildings, but some missions may start with a full or
partial base already up and running. The Allies and the Axis
generally have different types of base structures and combat
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.
