Company of Heroes 3: Final Stand

This game is buggy, horrifically unfun, and they charged 30 dollars for a product which required no new asset development and was almost certainly ripped from the independent mod on the workshop that had this execution... but better. 30 dollars, I still can't believe it, Relic, if you're going to rob me blind like this, at least do me the courtesy of knifing me in the kidneys first. There's only 5 maps, the difficulty curve spikes MASSIVELY, and you get trickle-fed units that may or may not be effective against the enemies thrown at you... oh yeah, and all the enemies start at max veterancy and ability spam even on the lowest difficulties. There's realistically no time to set up defenses, and, much like the base game, this crapfest devolves into spamming engineers because at least their flamethrowers are effective at somewhat killing the waves of infantry and lighter vehicles that will, without fail, out number you at least six to one. Get ready to have fun calling in one rifle squad, if you manage to roll for them, every five minutes as all your reinforcement points are eaten up by building fighting positions or desperately trying to replace unavoidable losses. As for long-range indirect fire support, you better get ready to build a ton (good luck supporting more than one or two) of mortar emplacements whose ability to target enemies, along with their range, is ridiculously laughable. I'd write even more about how your vehicles are made of paper and the enemy's is looted Stalinium from CoH2, but frankly I'm done with this game, and this review. The only enjoyment I've gotten from this game has been the knowledge that I played this game for exactly 69 minutes, but even that can't slow my mouse reaching for the refund request button. 1/10, come back when this mode is 5 dollars, 2.99 on sale, and they bother backporting content from the main game. I'd say "shame on you" to Relic, but clearly the entire ladder at that studio has their heads shoved so far up the rear of the person above them, they'd never be able to hear it.

Utter cashgrab that was advertised to be much more than it is. Ridiculously overpriced.

Just Terrible. I feel like this should have been a game mode in the full game instead of charging people for an almost no content wave defense game.

The trailer video does not represent the gameplay at all. Trailer = all out war and looks fun. Actual gameplay = 100 pop cap, 2 tanks and a few infantry units. False advertising at its finest.

Decently fun albeit having only 5 maps right now. Hope it gets some more stuff and love from the devs. On the other hand, you are paying $30 USD for 620 bytes, a literal mod for a flawed company of heroes.

COH3 - Final Stand is a fun and small add-on to the main game. It doesn´t track the time correctly, I´ve got ~6 hours of fun out of this. After that, it´s just tedious grind. Why? It´s only FIVE maps, which aren´t even that different. After 6 hours, you´ve beat them all at least once on expert with one faction. After that it´s just raising the stats (chosen via "perks" system) and playing on higher difficulties against buffed enemies. 15€ would be a fair price for this, 30€ is just too much. Also, it´s still a bit bugged.

重要的话说三次：不要买、不要买、不要买。 1.游戏内容极少，目前只有一种任务模式+5张地图，任务就是在任一地图上守满12波攻击，隨著任務的進展會跳出抽卡環節讓你增加技能或兵種，直到最後12波防守完成后进入任务结算，结算画面可选择结束拿经验或进入无尽模式。打无尽模式不会帮助你刷出更多经验值，你打完12波拿100经验，你打到36波同样也拿100经验，所以无尽模式纯粹是自虐。 2.无尽模式没有任何意义，在後期龐大的敵人數量面前，任何戰術微調都沒有意義，你能做的只是把坦克堆在总部附近死守，直到最后被敌人淹没，毫无技巧可言。 3.目前没有陌生人匹配机制，如果你想玩多人，只能透过邀请朋友的方式。 4.技能树的设计很膚淺，就只是单纯的增加攻防生命，升级之路一眼就能望到头，没什么深度。 5.Roguelite系統非常膚淺，能選擇的兵種與技能非常簡陋。 我已经来不及退款，只能警告大家别买，26.99美元的价格能买到其他内容更丰富的獨立游戏。 如果你還是想要購買的話，也应该等游戏後續是否增加更多任务种类，因为目前的模式我玩了6小时就已经玩腻了，毫无深度可言。官方承諾的無盡模式、Roguelite、獨特事件等元素都非常膚淺。 除此之外，我不懂那些給遊戲正面評價的人是什麼心態，他們要不是在說謊，或者他們完全沒玩過COH，才會對如此貧乏的遊戲內容感到有趣。 ---------- **I'll say it three times: Don't buy it. Don't buy it. Don't buy it.** 1. **The game has very little content.** At the moment, there's only **one mission type** and **five maps**. Every mission follows the exact same formula: survive 12 waves on any map. As the mission progresses, you'll periodically get a card draft where you can choose new units or passive upgrades. Once you survive all 12 waves, you can either end the run and claim your XP or continue into Endless Mode. The problem is that Endless Mode doesn't reward any additional XP. If you earn 100 XP for clearing Wave 12, you'll still earn only 100 XP even if you survive to Wave 36. Endless Mode is nothing more than a pointless punishment. 2. **Endless Mode serves no real purpose.** Once the enemy numbers become overwhelming in the later waves, any tactical adjustments become meaningless. The only thing you can do is stack your tanks around your HQ and turtle until you're eventually overrun. There's very little skill or strategy involved. 3. **There is currently no matchmaking.** If you want to play multiplayer, your only option is to invite friends. You can't queue with random players. 4. **The skill tree is extremely shallow.** It's nothing more than basic stat increases like attack, defense, and health. You can see the entire progression path at a glance, and there's almost no depth to the upgrade system. 5. **The Roguelite mechanics are incredibly shallow.** The selection of units and upgrades is extremely limited, making every run feel almost identical. Unfortunately, I played too long to qualify for a refund, so the best I can do is warn others not to buy this game. At **$26.99**, you can buy plenty of indie games with significantly more content and much better value. If you're still interested, I'd recommend waiting to see whether the developers add more mission types and expand the game's content. As it stands, I was already bored after just **6 hours** because the gameplay lacks any real depth. The advertised features—**Endless Mode, Roguelite progression, and unique random events**—all feel extremely underdeveloped and superficial. On top of that, I honestly don't understand the people leaving positive reviews. Either they're not being truthful, or they've never played games like **Company of Heroes**. Otherwise, I can't imagine how anyone could find such a bare-bones gameplay experience engaging.
