As you capture towns, you increase the resources at your disposal and the territory you control. The campaign map gives you options for how to direct the war effort according to your strategy. It shows towns, roads, and your military forces almost like pieces on a game board, giving you a broad-strokes idea of how the war is playing out and operating as each side takes turns moving forces and attacking different locations. That campaign through coastal towns was handled on the Dynamic Campaign Map, which is reminiscent of what you might see in big turn-based titles like the Civilization series.
Our play session had us pushing up from the coastal city of Naples in an attempt to capture the mountain cathedral stronghold of Montecassino. The changes make Company of Heroes 3's single-player mode feel pretty enormous, while giving you a huge amount of control over how your campaign plays out.īy clicking 'enter', you agree to GameSpot'sĬoH 3 puts you in control of the Allied campaign in the Mediterranean, a portion of the war Relic says has been neglected in media over the years, and which contains a lot of lesser-known but no-less-heroic stories. It contains a lot of alterations that give you greater command of the battlefield, both squad-by-squad and on a much larger scale. We recently spent around four hours playing an early preview build of Company of Heroes 3 on PC, which gave a look at how Relic's return to World War II will function. That new second half works to give you more control over the flow of the war effort-and lets you essentially create a single-player campaign of your own. What's striking about the next entry in Relic's long-running strategy series is that it's basically two games in one, with a whole additional turn-based strategy game on top of the RTS. It's the return of Relic Entertainment's brand of World War II real-time strategy, requiring tight command of squads and vehicles that's more about directing your soldiers to cover and executing flanking maneuvers than fast movement, tons of units, and lots of mouse clicks. A lot of the gameplay in Company of Heroes 3 is what you'd expect.
