Company of Heroes Collection is a new release of an iconic 2006 RTS, featuring two expansions. The collection was developed by Feral Interactive, including the base version of Company of Heroes, the expansions Opposing Fronts and Tales of Valor.
Company of Heroes Collection is set during World War II, on the western front. The base story campaign begins with the famous Normandy D-Day, the Opposing Fronts expansion has us playing as the British Army during the Battle of Caen and the German forces during the Market Garden operation, while the Tales of Valor expansion features three campaigns; one of them is much more cinematic, having us play as a four-people Tiger tank crew.
Company of Heroes Collection makes use of the top-down perspective. The player controls various units and completes objectives, leading our troops to battle. Combat is fast-paced and tactical, as the enemies often outnumber us.
Company of Heroes Collection features several story campaigns, containing 41 missions total. There's also skirmish mode with four unique factions, two different battle types and many different stages.
Company of Heroes Collection wasn't heavily refreshed visually, but still looks decent. The destructible environment, which we can take advantage of, is especially appealing.
The game was adapted to consoles - its interface and controls were created anew from scratch to work well with controllers.

Game Ratings for Company of Heroes Collection Video Game.
Pure Nintendo: 8.5 / 10 by David Temple
For history buffs, especially the military history wonks, Company of Heroes Collection falls in "must-have" territory. The game has multiple difficulty levels so you can ease your way into it and replay for a while to test your skills, and the Switch control system doesn't get in the way as much as you might expect. If you like a good RTS or you like a good WWII game, this is a very good title to have in your Switch library.

The Company of Heroes Collection for Nintendo Switch is one of those projects. It’s such an old game, and the genre to console conversion comes burdened with so much implied work. And even if it was ported over successfully, the RTS audience on Switch is hardly overwhelming. And this definitely wasn’t a case of a successful port, with the missing multiplayer, control issues, and puzzling performance decisions.
Nintendo Life: 7 / 10 by Trent Cannon
The gameplay and tone of Company of Heroes hold up wonderfully more than two decades after its initial release, but the lack of any multiplayer options a launch makes Company of Heroes Collection feel sadly incomplete. The updated controls take some getting used to but still let you feel like a general moving their troops across the fields of Europe. Even with these flaws, though, this game is well worth investing in if you're an RTS fan looking to step back into a classic title. Fingers crossed for the planned multiplayer update.
