It plays a lot like the Total War franchise’s grand campaign, where you micromanage settlements/towns/cities and armies on a massive map. This is where those aforementioned Total War design influences come into play. The Dynamic Campaign Map allows the player to command the entire war effort in Italy by managing a variety of ground, sea, and air forces with turn-based gameplay on a big map. One of the campaigns is the brand new Dynamic Italian Campaign, an expansive single-player experience featuring a brand new mechanic called the Dynamic Campaign Map. That setting is rarely explored in games, especially when compared to the Western, Eastern and Pacific fronts, so as a history buff, I was elated.

There are two campaigns in Company Of Heroes 3, both of which are set in the Mediterranean theatre of World War 2. It’s nice to see a collaborative effort between these developers, which isn’t surprising considering that they’re both under publishers, SEGA, but I digress, let’s dig into the game.

However, after spending many hours with Company Of Heroes 3, I can see that the developers at Relic Entertainment have borrowed a lot of elements from Total War, and my suspicions were confirmed when I spotted that Creative Assembly is one of the studios that contributed to Company Of Heroes 3 when the game’s credits rolled. While I can boast of having experienced thousands of hours in Total War titles, I can’t say the same for the Company Of Heroes franchise. Now it’s Relic Entertainment’s turn to make a mark in the current era of gaming and their latest entry, Company Of Heroes 3, is definitely an excellent sequel that is worth the long wait. It’s been a decade since 2013’s Company Of Heroes 2, but the major RTS franchises have been making sort of a comeback in recent years, such as the recent Age Of Empires 4 and the increasing popularity of Creative Assembly’s Total War titles.
