War Mongrels, a real-time tactical game developed and published by the Destructive Creations, is undoubtedly one of the best of its kind. At the first glance, it may seem to be some regular tactical game that involves a lot of moving around and killing people. But it is not what it seems to be. Yeah, it is an RTT game, but there is a certain mixed match of elements that you are going to love.
War Mongrels is set on the eastern front of the Second World War. This may seem to be regular as well since we have quite a lot of these games set during the same time. But what makes this game different is the dark and compelling story of a squad of freedom fighters who are fighting for values and humanity.
War Mongrels follows the story of two German soldiers who are sent on a suicide mission as punishment but manage to escape. Their journey eventually leads them to an underground Polish Home Army, with whom they join forces to further take down enemy soldiers in their path and free the country from their oppressive occupiers. This might seem regular while reading, but the ones who have played the game already know the difference.
The game has an isometric perspective which makes the game even better while playing. This isometric perspective adds a sense of depth to the game. Thanks to the amazingly set storyline, all the missions and objectives will be more challenging and immersive.
We talked about certain mixed matches of elements before. This means that with the tactical gameplay, you will also be getting action, adventure and stealth elements. All of these have blended pretty well in the story.
Your tactical presence of mind will be put to the real test in this game through the interactive environment. You will be forced to make new tactics once in a while, just because the environment demands so. Here is the best part.
You can choose to complete all the objectives by yourself. And if anytime you get bored of playing alone, there is the online co-op multiplayer mode which allows you to play with your group of friends.
Okay, so we have talked a lot about the pros of the game. Here are some cons which will surely irritate you while playing. The first is the pathetic voice acting. It will happen a lot of times when the voices of your characters won’t match the gravity of what they’re saying. So it will leave you wondering why your German and Polish characters don’t have an accent, while the Nazi guards do!
In the game, you can simultaneously control one or more characters and use their abilities. It seems easy but can be quite a mess sometimes. It is because simultaneously controlling multiple characters needs you to master a lot of controls and commands.
It isn’t a smooth process while switching from one character to another and using the abilities. If you mistime your click even by a millimetre, you will find yourself lying on the floor, knocked off by the enemy.
It has happened with a lot of players that the main menu, or the button inputs, or both of them do not work. This might be because of your system’s antivirus or any other malware protection software blocking the game. This issue occurs when the game is not able to the Steam servers and gets blocked.
You can solve this. You just need to set up the antivirus and any other malware protection software properly. Alternatively, you can add the game’s .exe files to the whitelist of the malware protectors.
You can also launch and play the game offline, but you won’t be able to play with other players. So choose wisely. This was everything about the game War Mongrels. Follow Digi Statement for more updates!
