Skirmishes are quicker battles that shouldn’t take too long to complete, but there are more cinematic, narrative-based encounters that feel like absolute blockbusters. Much of your time in Italy will be spent clearing territories, establishing defenses, adding new units, and taking part in battles both large and small. It sounds simple on paper, but there are so many ways of marching on the capital that no two playthroughs will likely be the same. From a humbling, hectic beach landing on the shores of the country, you must slowly take back Italy piece by piece, bolstering your forces and cultivating relationships so that you can make a final break for the final line of German defence and take back Rome. The headlining addition for Company of Heroes 3 is its Italy campaign, an epic in all senses of the word.
It’s difficult to say that Company of Heroes 3 revolutionises the genre, but those who were absorbed by the constant risk/reward pull of the original games and the scale of conflict will find plenty to adore here, though the game isn’t without its fair share of flaws. So how does Relic’s newest, more colourful entry fare? Company of Heroes 3 has a lot to live up to, with many different fans wanting very different things from a decade of anticipation. In that time, Relic’s RTS has gone on to become one of the most renowned, beloved WWII strategy games of all time after a slightly patchy start, with thousands of dedicated fans playing at any time even now. It’s been almost ten years since Company of Heroes 2 first launched, a whole generation of gaming ago.
