Company of Heroes 3 story and gameplay
The game's campaign is set across the Mediterranean. You'll have missions taking place in coastal vistas of Italy and the deserts and plains of North Africa.
Thanks to the use of the new Relic Entertainment-developed proprietary Essence Engine, Company of Heroes 3 offers up lush detailed visuals and increased destruction effects.
The story is a dynamic one, meaning that it will be different for different players with player choice impacting the ending.
In terms of gameplay, the main headline is the new Tactical Pause feature. This totally optional feature allows you to pause the ongoing action so you can take your time to plan your attacks. Good for those who find the game's sandbox-style RTS gameplay difficult to keep track of.
Of course, it's not just the story mode, either. Company of Heroes 3 has a full Skirmish mode and multiplayer modes to choose from.
