Feral Releases Critically Acclaimed RTS Game 'Company of Heroes' on iPad

[MacRumors]

Feral Interactive today announced the release of World War II real-time strategy game Company of Heroes on iPad.

Originally developed for Windows by Relic Entertainment, the critically-acclaimed RTS has been specially designed and developed for the iPad by Feral, and on first look the results are very impressive.

Command two crack companies of American soldiers and direct an intense campaign in the European Theater of Operations starting with the D-Day Invasion of Normandy.

Fully tailored to and optimized for tablet, Company of Heroes features a sophisticated user interface that makes it intuitive for players to execute real-time tactics, adapt to constantly shifting environments, and ultimately overcome ferocious opposition to secure the liberation of France.

Company of Heroes requires iOS 13.1 or later and supports the iPad mini (5th generation), iPad Air (3rd generation), iPad (5th generation), iPad (6th generation), iPad (7th generation), iPad Pro (1st generation: 9.7-inch, 12.9-inch), iPad Pro (2nd generation: 10.5-inch, 12.9-inch), and iPad Pro (3rd generation: 11-inch, 12.9-inch).

Company of Heroes is available to download from the App Store for $13.99 / £13.99 / EUR14,99. The game requires 6GB of free space to install, and at least 8GB of free space is recommended to avoid installation issues.

How about bring 64-bit support on Mac? I bought it before and now it won’t work without the 64-bit update.

Critically acclaimed many years ago!

Still a classic nonetheless

Feral's port of Company of Heroes 2 is 64bit. Company of Heroes 1 was ported by Aspyr…

This is great, but I'll wait for reviews. My son and I had hours of fun playing this game years ago when it was a new thing on Windows computers. Some of the other "ports" weren't very good in terms of what they ported over.

For those who love the series but have moved away from computer gaming, there's also a new table top board game that's coming out this summer: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/223137030/company-of-heroes-board-game

I’ve been waiting for this since last year. Preordered it when it got announced finally and played the tutorial missions yesterday.
Seems great and is easy enough to control - of course it’s just the tutorials. Some of the missions later on can get intense so I’m a bit doubtful as to how well that will go.

Overall I think it’s a great port and will only get better as Feral is known for fixing all the issues with their ports quickly.
