Players must manage resources by capturing strategic points on the map, which then provide the necessary resources to equip and expand their forces. The game focuses on tactical maneuvering, making it distinct from other RTS titles that often involve mass unit production. The series offers engaging campaigns with diverse missions, including defensive strategies and offensive maneuvers. Skirmish and multiplayer modes provide additional gameplay options, with challenging AI opponents. The game's attention to detail, including unit animations and environmental destruction, enhances the overall experience. While it may not push technical boundaries, Company of Heroes remains a compelling and immersive WWII gaming experience.
