Company of Heroes Collection Switch

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.

Plot

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.

Mechanics

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.

Game modes

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.

Technical aspects

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.
