More effective are the battleplans presented at the start of missions, showing players what they are expected to do and how to best achieve their objectives. Relic aims at emotional resonance and historical truth, but the cutscenes linking the levels are little more than distractions, especially for those who already have the historical details. The game uses a flashback mechanic to tell the story of two characters that lived through the campaign of the Eastern Front, jumping from one battle to another to first show how the Germans advanced to the outskirts of Moscow and then move to the tale of the Russian revival, which eventually led them to Berlin. Many fans of the original Company of Heroes were expecting a revolutionary new set of mechanics, but the team working on this second title has chosen to be safe and expand on the core ideas of the franchise while adding a number of elements unique to Eastern Front warfare. With Company of Heroes 2, the new strategy title from developer Relic and publisher SEGA, gamers can experience the most important battles that took place in the area while at the same time creating their own scenarios and narratives using the deep mechanics of the series. Customers who already own the Mac App Store version of Company of Heroes 2 will receive all the DLC and expansion packs in a free update.The Eastern Front was arguably the most important theater of World War II and it has rarely been given fair treatment in video games, which tended to focus more on the landings in Normandy and the battles in the Pacific.
