War Never ChangesĪs we mentioned, the game that preceded this one was a real show stopper that galvanised a rather predictable genre and was arguably ahead of it’s time in terms of quality. However, did the game earn it’s stripes, or was it discharged and dismissed from duty? We find out in our review of Company of Heroes 2. This title aimed to offer fans of the series more of the same with some quality-of-life tweaks. However, thanks to it’s much more strategic format, the game also plays rather like games like X-Com, Iron Harvest, Call to Arms and Dawn of War. This game plays rather like other games that take inspiration from war and history such as Medal of Honor, Call of Duty and Battlefield. However, many also questioned how the developer would aim to improve upon their last outing. The initial title was a roaring success, so when the sequel Company of Heroes 2 came along, many thought that this was surely a nailed on success.

One such game series that has done the latter is the Company of Heroes series that opted for a much more strategic take on war and historical violence than the various FPS games that occupied the same space. Some of which have failed miserably, but others have found great success in this field. We have seen more than a few developers take a bash at creating a truly immersive and realistic WW2 epic.
