  • Summary: Company of Heroes: Tales of Valor is the next standalone chapter in the Company of Heroes franchise, featuring all-new content, including three single-player campaigns, new multiplayer modes, additional maps and units. Company of Heroes: Tales of Valor also introduces a new “direct-fire” feature that allows players more tactical control of their units and more strategic options in-game. Developed by internal studio Relic Entertainment and powered by Relic’s proprietary Essence Engine, Company of Heroes: Tales of Valor is fully compatible with Company of Heroes and Company of Heroes: Opposing Fronts, allowing players who own the entire series complete access to the epic battles of World War.

  1. It's a great experience, needs more maps to expand the new multiplayer modes and give it some variety.
  2. Although the strongest part of an strategy game is usually the campaign mode, this is precisely the weakest side in Tales of Valor. It's low cost should not distract us from the fact that this package is repetitive and certainly short, but the talent of Relic is present, and this is enough reason to pay attention to its proposal.
  3. Tales of Valor falls short in terms of the volume of new content most players will expect in a standalone expansion priced at $30. What's there is great, but it's just not enough.

    Amongst the echoing complaints, I feel Tales of Valor accomplished its job as being an expansion for 30$US/CDN. People who were disappointed were those who were comparing it, to its two previous dreadnought games. This is not what tales of valor is. Tales of valor is multilayer content. If you spend a lot of time in coh multiplayer, TOV is a steal. The singleplayer only works to propel the games new features forward. Tiger Ace FTW! Expand

  2. This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. There's nothing significantly new with this second expansion. The nine missions are over too quickly and the new skirmish maps as well as MP features are too limited. Also this expansion would have been worth it for free because of the free huge COH patch that came with this expansion for those who have owned COH Gold Edition or the first two COH games! Expand

    Yet another poor expansion for what used to be a good game. The single player is ridiculously short for the price and doesn't feel at all like CoH should. The new game modes are all terrible and not at all in the spirit of CoH. Why they decided we need a very poor DotA clone in CoH is probably best left unknown. The one game mode that is ok is in reality a poor version of various custom maps that have been around for a while anyway (and for free i add). This game is honestly not even worth the £2.49 they're currently asking for it on steam. The only good thing i can say is that it gives you access to all the sides in multiplayer if you're a masochist and enjoy playing extremely frustrating games. Expand
