gameplay11 positive mentions
monetization10 negative mentions
  • Engaging and fun wave defense gameplay with roguelite progression elements that provide variety and replayability.
  • Good co-op experience for two players; many players enjoy the challenge and cooperative aspect.
  • Smooth performance, satisfying tactical combat, and inclusion of all DLC units for variety; developers are responsive with updates such as adding lobby browsing.
  • Overpriced for the amount of content offered, especially for new players; many consider it too expensive for essentially a game mode with limited maps and features.
  • Limited to two-player co-op with no built-in matchmaking at launch, although lobby browsing was added shortly after; absence of 3-4 player co-op is a common complaint.
  • Lacks key features expected from a wave defense mode such as building various defensive structures, deeper unit and upgrade variety, more maps, and better AI, leading to a somewhat shallow and repetitive experience.

  • gameplay

    49 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    22% positive mentions, 72% neutral mentions, 6% negative mentions

    The gameplay offers an enjoyable and addictive core experience, especially for fans of the series, with a solid foundation and interesting unit variation. However, it suffers from repetitive mechanics, limited map variety, shallow depth, and some design choices like a small population cap and random unit unlocks that reduce strategic complexity. While co-op adds value, the high price and lack of significant innovations or quality-of-life improvements make the gameplay feel like a missed opportunity compared to previous titles or mods.

    • “The gameplay loop is pretty addictive; every match feels very different because you always encounter different technologies and units.”
    • “As for gameplay: the variation you are forced into with builds is nice and can present unique problems you have to solve for that you would never face in the other game modes, and you have to use units you may not normally consider.”
    • “An absolute dose of CoH fun, screw PvP & its balance concerns, this is pure fun with the best mechanics in the RTS realm (CoH's).”
    • “No COH player would want something like this; people do not want fewer units, smaller maps, and shallow gameplay.”
    • “The overall gameplay is also extremely shallow and dull.”
    • “The gameplay also feels quite janky, with barely any downtime between rounds and units constantly rushing positions.”

  • replayability

    19 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    47% positive mentions, 37% neutral mentions, 16% negative mentions

    Replayability is generally praised, especially for its unique roguelike elements, varied factions, and engaging gameplay modes that offer a fun alternative to PvP. However, concerns remain about limited map variety and content potentially leading to repetition over time. Overall, the mode is considered enjoyable and addictive for players who appreciate incremental progression and strategic depth.

    • “It takes a lot of elements from the campaign content and multiplayer DLC and remixes battle group abilities into a really fun rogue-like mode that feels very replayable and unique.”
    • “Relic has taken everything that makes Company of Heroes legendary—the weighty, cinematic infantry combat, the satisfying unit abilities, the way every engagement feels like a desperate, hard-fought struggle—and distilled it into the most addictive, replayable package the series has ever delivered.”
    • “Cool wave defense game mode with a decent amount of replayability built in; it's a small shame it's getting more hate than it probably deserves.”
    • “Not much replay value.”
    • “Replay value - assuming the roguelike elements work as intended you're still stuck with only 5 maps and limited options per faction on what would eventually be a very repetitive gameplay loop.”
    • “For €29 I at least expected the same intense, replayable experience that AOD, comp stomp, and similar co-op or versus-CPU modes have delivered me in other RTS games in the past.”

  • story

    11 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    36% positive mentions, 37% neutral mentions, 27% negative mentions

    The story aspect is generally seen as lacking and less engaging compared to previous installments, with the current game focusing heavily on repetitive defense missions that feel similar across maps. Players find the campaign missions more entertaining and varied, especially enjoying defensive scenarios with multi-directional attacks, which are missing here. Overall, the narrative and mission design are viewed as underdeveloped, reducing the game's replay value and depth.

    • “For years, I found myself replaying campaign missions whenever I wasn't able to commit the time or attention needed to compete online.”
    • “Or play the original CoH campaigns where there are legendary defensive-based missions that are so much fun you can play over and over again.”
    • “Back to maps, in all of those enemies come from one side from 3 spawn points, making all of the maps feel the same. They could have given us a map with a base in the middle where enemies come from all sides, similar to the single player mission in CoH2 where you defended a bridge and were attacked from two sides. It was so peak.”
    • “It's a shame since in CoH2 the defense missions in the campaign were so much better.”
    • “Maybe if it had a story in it.”

  • monetization

    10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions

    The monetization of this game is widely criticized as a steep-priced cash grab, especially given its limited content, such as a small number of maps and units, and its status as essentially a new game mode rather than a full standalone title. Many users feel the pricing is unjustified for what is offered, leading to disappointment and skepticism about the value provided.

    • “This objectively sucks, and it's a cash grab and is somehow worse looking than CoH and CoH 2 even though they are almost 20 years old.”
    • “Absolute cash grab, too few units available, and too few active/passive abilities, so you get repeating stuff after 3 games, which is unacceptable in a roguelike game mode.”
    • “At least be honest in your advertising, this is just a small new game mode for base CoH 3, why make it a 'separate' 'game'?”

  • humor

    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    100% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    The humor in the game is widely appreciated, with many players finding the boss encounters and absurd scenarios genuinely hilarious and amusing. The comedic elements add a fun, bombastic layer to the gameplay, eliciting laughter and lighthearted enjoyment even in challenging moments.

    • “The boss encounters are hilarious, like a Pershing coming in that looks like a Baneblade from Warhammer 40k, or an artillery unit that just keeps shooting you point blank when you roll up to it.”
    • “The sheer bombastic experience got us laughing out loud so many times my voice is sore.”
    • “Not that it wasn't winnable, but I wanted to do it in a funny way haha.”

  • grinding

    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    20% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 80% negative mentions

    Grinding in the game is generally moderate, allowing players to jump in without heavy resource farming, but progression heavily relies on grinding challenges, with many perks and cosmetics locked behind real money or extensive playtime. This system may frustrate those seeking a realistic experience or quick progression.

    • “Am I supposed to be grinding through matches to unlock a 20% increase to my weapon emplacement's cone size, or a 40% decrease in reinforcement costs?”
    • “Same terrible progression/cosmetic system based on grinding out challenges and 80% is locked behind real money.”
    • “Would not recommend for... PvPers, people that want it to be realistic to WWII, or people that don't want to grind for perks (it doesn't seem terribly grindy though).”

  • graphics

    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 100% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    Users express frustration with the game's graphics demanding high performance, suggesting the need for low graphics options to prevent overheating and hardware issues, and recommending clear warnings about its experimental nature.

  • stability

    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    50% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 50% negative mentions

    The game's stability is mixed, with some users finding it largely bug-free and smooth, while others report it as buggy and underdeveloped.

    • “Game appears pretty bug free, and offers a fun gameplay loop.”
    • “Buggy and undercooked.”

  • optimization

    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    50% positive mentions, 50% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    Company of Heroes 3 is praised for its smooth and stable performance, delivering a lag-free experience without crashes or major technical issues, resulting in well-optimized gameplay.

    • “Company of Heroes 3: Final Stand delivers smooth, clean performance with no lag or crashes, providing a seamless and enjoyable experience.”

  • emotional

    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    100% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    Users feel the emotional impact is undermined by the game's high $30 price, considering its content comparable to or below free mod quality, leading to disappointment and regret.

  • music

    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 100% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    Users feel the music aspect could be improved by adding custom soundtracks, enhancing the overall experience. However, the existing factions and perks provide strong replayability that somewhat compensates for this.
