Relic Entertainment launched Company of Heroes 3: Final Stand today able on Steam for $30.
That’s an introductory discount for two weeks, alongside an additional 20% bundle discount for existing Company of Heroes 3 owners.
Available as a standalone product, Final Stand captures the strategy and intensity of Company of Heroes’ cinematic battles in a fast-paced wave defense experience for solo and cooperative play. This is a lot like the beginning of the African campaign in the start of the Company of Heroes 3 mainline game, which launched in 2023. I played the full game and enjoyed the intense real-time strategy combat that feels like a chaotic WWII battle.
Built on the tactical foundation of Company of Heroes, Final Stand expands the series’ signature combat with roguelite progression that encourages experimentation, adaptation, and
replayability. Players must dig in, build layered defenses, and survive against escalating waves of enemy forces across 12 increasingly challenging rounds, featuring intimidating bosses and dynamic battlefield events unique to Final Stand.
Launching during the franchise’s 20th anniversary celebration, Final Stand introduces an intense wave defense experience inspired by Relic’s legacy of fan-favorite survival modes, blending cinematic battlefield action with roguelite progression systems that create a new strategic experience with every run.
Built for both single-player and cooperative play, Final Stand challenges players to hold the line
through 12 escalating waves of increasingly dangerous enemy forces. Between rounds, players construct custom battlegroups by selecting randomized units and abilities that persist throughout each run, ensuring no two battles unfold the same way.
Players can command one of four iconic factions:
- US Forces
- Wehrmacht
- British Forces
- Deutsches Afrikakorps
Each faction features its own progression path, strategic opportunities, and powerful upgrades that can dramatically alter gameplay.
Beyond individual runs, players unlock persistent progression through faction-specific upgrade trees, earning powerful perks and abilities that encourage experimentation, mastery, and higher-level challenges.
