Final Stand
Final Stand is a separate wave-defense game built on CoH3. You dig in and survive 12 waves, or play Endless Mode. After each wave you pick from random units or abilities for that run, so you build your own battlegroup as you go. Between runs you unlock permanent perks on faction-specific trees.
- Solo or two-player co-op, with a lobby browser for co-op since 2.5.1.
- All four factions, 5 battlegrounds (a sixth is coming in 3.0), 36 bosses, 18 battlefield events and 8 difficulty levels.
- $29.99 on Steam, with a 20% discount for Company of Heroes 3 owners. You don't need CoH3 to play it.
