Company of Heroes Tales of Valor is a real-time strategy game developed by Relic Entertainment for the PC.

Company of Heroes: Tales of Valor is a real-time strategy game, meaning the player will have control over multiple units from an overhead perspective. This allows the player to devise methods for confronting the enemy and direct troops and vehicles to carry out these tasks.

However, it differs from a typical RTS in that, if chosen, the player can take control of individual units to aid in completing an objective. Using a single unit, the player can aim and control the flow of battle in a more personal way than from the standard overhead perspective.

In some cases, the game almost completely abandons the RTS genre, placing the player in control of just one tank, or a small squad of troops for an entire mission. The game changes the style of control and scope of the battles often, which has garnered much praise from early previews of the title.1up: Tales of Valor Preview (February 27, 2009)
