Lead your troops to victory in Company of Heroes 2 and immortalize yourself as a wartime leader in one of the most authentic RTS games ever crafted. CoH 2 offers a distinct Real-Time Strategy experience that immerses players deeply in the harsh realities of combat on the Eastern Front. The Brutal Eastern Front The Eastern Front is a chapter of history marred by extreme brutality and the loss of humanity, where people turned against each other in desperate survival battles. Company of Heroes 2 portrays these grim realities with painstaking accuracy. You step into the boots of Lev Abramovich Isakovich, a Soviet army lieutenant recounting his harrowing experiences from a Siberian prison through eighteen intense missions. Facing not only the formidable Third Reich but also the merciless Russian winter and morally dubious orders from your own officers, the Eastern Front is a relentless test of survival. Retreat is not an option, as falling back is seen as desertion and is punishable by death at the hands of your own comrades. The game doesn't shy away from the stark horrors of war—expect to make grueling decisions, such as burning houses with civilians inside, witnessing your soldiers die to protect you, and confronting the pervasive decay and death that accompanies war. A Modern Take on Real-Time Strategy While the RTS genre faces stiff competition, Company of Heroes 2 demonstrates that innovative, immersive gameplay can keep the genre thriving. Powered by the Essence 3.0 engine and enhanced by the TrueSight system, the game offers a highly realistic warfare experience. TrueSight provides each unit with a unique field of vision affected by the weather, environment, troop positioning, and more, requiring strategic planning and foresight to succeed. The Essence 3.0 engine allows for dynamic environments where nearly everything can be destroyed. Enemy troops taking cover in a church? Use tanks to demolish the building, annihilating the enemy within. The environment itself can be a weapon, whether it's blowing up bridges, creating craters with artillery, or using the harsh winter to your tactical advantage, such as breaking ice to trap enemy tanks. Key Features: • Engage in iconic battles such as Stalingrad, Leningrad, and Moscow, each rendered with historical detail. • Experience the intense horror of the Eastern Front where the depths of human cruelty were tested. • Fight for the USSR in a fight where survival is as much against your enemies as it is against the elements and your own leaders. • Leverage the fully destructible environments to gain a strategic edge over your opponents. • Utilize the TrueSight engine to master the battlefield with superior tactical awareness. Company of Heroes 2 invites you to face the grim realities of war and prove your strategic prowess on some of the most challenging and memorable battlefields of World War II.
