brilliant game worth while buying

Hands down the best real time strategy game of all time and certainly the best of the series. (The gameplay of other two games in the series felt just useless to me). Just play it with Blitzkrieg mod to make it feel complete.

Gameplay Mechanics: 10/10 Narrative: 7/10 Graphics: 7/10 Sound and Music: 9/10 Replayability: 8/10 Innovation: 9/10 Company of Heroes is a true legend in the real-time strategy space—and the Legacy Edition keeps the original intact for fans who want to experience one of the best WW2 RTS games in its purest form. Even years after release, it still holds up due to its deep mechanics, gritty tone, and intense, tactical combat. Gameplay mechanics are nearly flawless. It's not just about building a base and spamming units—positioning, cover, line of sight, flanking, and suppression all matter. Every skirmish feels dynamic and alive, with real-time reactions to enemy movement and terrain. Score: 10/10. Narrative is decent for a WW2 RTS. The campaign follows the Allied forces from D-Day onward, with a mix of historical missions and cinematic storytelling. It's not super deep, but it's emotionally effective and immersive. Score: 7/10. Graphics were groundbreaking at launch and still look good today, especially for their age. Explosions, destructible buildings, and detailed unit animations bring the battlefield to life. Score: 7/10. Sound and music are top-tier. Explosions rumble, gunfire cracks with power, and soldiers shout out contextual commands. The audio design adds so much to the chaos of battle. Score: 9/10. Replayability is strong. Between the campaign, skirmish mode, and online multiplayer, there’s a ton of content. Mods and community maps extend the life even further. Score: 8/10. Innovation was huge when it launched. The use of tactical cover, suppression mechanics, and destructible environments redefined what an RTS could be. It’s no exaggeration to say it changed the genre. Score: 9/10. Bottom line: Company of Heroes: Legacy Edition is a must-play for RTS fans. It's tactical, intense, cinematic, and brilliantly designed. Whether you're here for nostalgia or discovering it for the first time, it's a war game classic that still hits hard.

A classic RTS that everyone should play at least once. Holds up very well and is very enjoyable.

Recommended: Like air support when the enemy’s got a clumped-up blob—absolutely This isn’t just a game. It’s a masterclass in tactical emotional damage. You’ll start your campaign thinking you’re playing RTS chess with guns. You’ll end it explaining to your cat why you sacrificed an entire squad of riflemen to bait a Panther into a minefield like a budget Tom Hanks in Saving Private Ryan: Home Depot Edition. The real beauty of Company of Heroes is how every decision has weight. Like, “How many units am I willing to lose for a fuel point that’s basically my entire personality now?” Spoiler: All of them. Every single one. Things I’ve done in this game: Stared at a single MG nest for 14 minutes like I was defusing a bomb in my soul Got emotionally attached to a vet 3 squad that I lost because I alt-tabbed Called in artillery like a war crime Oprah: “You get a shell! You get a shell! Everybody gets shells!” Tried to play the campaign stealthy until a single click turned Normandy into a Michael Bay movie And don’t let the “Legacy Edition” fool you. Legacy in this case means “still better than 80% of modern RTS games and probably running smoother on a toaster than half of your 2024 titles.” Final Verdict: Company of Heroes didn’t just teach me tactics. It taught me guilt. Leadership. Regret. Logistics. And that sandbags don’t judge but they do absorb bullets and your bad decisions. 10/10. Would charge a Tiger tank with a flamethrower squad again while yelling "FOR THE RESOURCE POINT!" and crying.
