A somber WWII action game
War Mongrels is an isometric, real-time, premium action game set on the eastern front of World War II that combines stealth-tactics gameplay. The game emphasizes the lesser-known resistance fighters who battled against the Nazis in World War II and the opposing factions of the conflict.
War Mongrels, also known as WM, portrays the war's bleakest aspects, starkly contrasting to the Commandos and Desperados series. This tale illustrates the devastating impact of worldwide violence on people's lives and futures rather than a thrilling escapade set in the vibrant backdrop of the Wild West like that of Desperados.
In War Mongrels, players embark on a journey inspired by historical events with two guerilla troopers, German Wehrmacht soldiers who deserted. The two soldiers will encounter allies who share their views and collaborate to rescue those in danger to ensure their survival. The game features diverse characters with unique abilities and skills that players can utilize in defeating enemies across various environments, promoting the need for strategic combinations.
Furthermore, the game is split into two parts, with the first part focusing on the story. It features 2D animation accompanied by sound narration and striking imagery that brings to life the scenario as the main characters battle to survive the horrors of war and rescue as many people as possible. The second part of the game involves gameplay where you control the characters from a bird's eye view and complete missions.
The isometric viewpoint of this game lends a stunning aesthetic to its graphics, rendering them particularly beautiful. The soundtrack serves its purpose well, as it effectively aids gameplay by providing crucial sound cues that players can rely on amid the fog of war. Unfortunately, some players have conveyed their discontent with the game's auto-save and quick-save functionality, citing occasional malfunctions.
