Company of Heroes' arrival on iPad has been a long-expected one. Originally, it was supposed to hit the platform last year, but that obviously didn’t happen due to some roadblocks in the development process. Not that we are complaining, though. As long as the quality is good, we don’t mind waiting.
And the wait is almost over too. Starting from the 13th of February, players will be able to jump into some WWII-themed RTS action right on their iPad as that’s when Company of Heroes officially launches for the platform. The game has undergone an overhaul to better adjust to its new home with a new UI that promises an intuitive touch-based experience.
In case you are not familiar with Company of Heroes, it is a strategy game in which you control 2 companies of US soldiers and follow them through a series of 15 missions. These missions are based on real-life events that took place over the course of the Second World War, starting with the “D-Day”.
Once you've gone through those, you can also download additional missions and maps for free. So that basically means you'll get to enjoy plenty of tactical gameplay without having to spend more money on IAPs for DLCs.
It’s also worth noting that the game will take up a sizable 6GB of storage on your device, and developer Feral Interactive has recommended that you prepare at least 8GB to avoid any potential issue with the installation process. It has also provided a list of compatible devices. Basically, you’ll need an iPad of the 5th, 6th, or 7th generation, an iPad Pro of the 1st, 2nd, or 3rd generation, or an iPad Air 3rd generation to run Company of Heroes smoothly. Also, your device must be running on iOS 13.1 or a later version.
Company of Heroes is currently up for pre-order on the App Store and will officially arrive on the 13th of February. It is a premium title priced at $13.99 (Rs 1000).
