Company of Heroes is a good game that simply isn’t a good fit for Android. The spark of greatness remains, but I spent more time fighting the interface than the enemy.

About
Players must take control of certain points on the map. The more of these points a player controls, the more resources they acquire. This concept demands constant expansion of a player's territory. These points are connected like supply lines, and so, during the course of a battle a player can capture one point in the supply line, isolating the rest which had been connected to the base through it, therefore reducing the enemy's resource intake. Players collect three resources: manpower, munitions, and fuel. Manpower is necessary to produce all units. Munitions allows players to upgrade individual squads or vehicles and use special abilities. Fuel allows players to purchase tanks and other vehicles, build base buildings and acquire global upgrades.

Critic reviews
- 9.0Overall, Company of Heroes on iPad is easily an essential purchase if you enjoy real time strategy games. While I didn’t enjoy this one as much as Rome: Total War because of the setting, there’s no denying the game quality and port quality here. Having played a lot with both interface options, I’m unsure if the non mobile focused control option will make it to iPhone.
- 9.0Everything else gets our praise: the presentation is lovely, it runs without a hitch, and if we’re being perfectly honest we’re just happy to see a strategy game of this ilk on iPad, which too often goes criminally overlooked in the world of mobile gaming.
- The single player mode is downright extravagant. Gorgeous in-game cutscenes and moody narrated storyboard-style videos set a perfect atmosphere. More than 15 well-scripted, challenging and very replayable missions (secondary goals, like inflicting a certain number of casualties on the Nazis, keep you coming back for more) unspool the familiar story of the D-Day invasion that spelled the beginning of the end for Hitler.
- Relic has gone above and beyond to polish and nearly perfect the necessary ingredients to a successful RTS. You might miss playing an Axis oriented campaign but in the end, Company of Heroes is a solid real-time strategy experience that should keep you busy for much longer than expected.
- 9.0With game mechanics that have been pared and honed almost to perfection, plus arguably the most accessible of game settings, Company of Heroes' combination of heart-pounding action, visceral presentation and emergent tactics not so much raises the bar for RTS games but twists it into knots and blasts it into orbit.
