![]() It is tough, but other similar titles like Desperados and Commandos are harder. Even though dying can get frustrating, I learned something new from each death. It was on my mind throughout my day and wanted to watch the story unfold. ![]() I began to hate the music when I got spotted, which makes you fear it. The music changes depending on what is happening on screen. The music sits in the background and doesn’t distract from the action which is exactly what you want. It would have been nice if they could have used fog of war to make you rely on the sound. When you are playing, all the information you are taking in is visual. I wish more titles did this style so that the story can be told in the best visual way. ![]() I preferred this to if they had done in-game cutscenes. The style of them is beautiful to watch and adds to the plot. My favorite feature of War Mongrels is the cutscenes between chapters. The menus are fine as they are nothing special but they get the job done. It also isn’t too small that it takes up needed space on the screen while being readable. Especially when you take into account the isometric viewpoint. War Mongrels’ Presentation Creepy cutscenes There were a few other bugs, where enemy NPCs are stuck on a loop of spotting a distraction and not moving. This meant I couldn’t reload to an easier point where I had more resources. Yet I did find the manual reload buggy as it didn’t load the save I chose only the most recent one. Even so, the game reloads the previous save in an instant. It’s easy to forget, but it saved my skin many times. This is useful when you plan to throw a distraction or move to that point. If you hold the left mouse button down on an area on the map, it will reveal who can see that point at that moment. It does feel unfair at times, but there are tools that are available to the player to make it easier. I was having a hard time adjusting and it would be helpful if this option had been shown during the tutorial. While the right mouse button handles selection. Remember that the left mouse button controls the actions. Otherwise, you will be fighting with the controls. Go into the settings and change the controls to RTS. The DifficultyĪ quick tip for those that have experience in other RTS games. Even in combat mode, they won’t be able to fend them off. If any of your party gets spotted, every soldier on the map chases you down. But, remember that while you’re focused on one character, the others are vulnerable. ![]() One character is very strong and can push large objects which can fall onto enemy soldiers. He is the most useful party member in the early game since you will try to stay hidden. He is an expert at hand-to-hand combat, which makes his attacks quieter. If he loses the watch, he can whistle to distract enemies. Manford has a pocket watch that can be thrown to distract enemies. The PartyĮach character has a set of skills that can be used to make your life easier. Yet if you have taken out most of the enemy on the level, there’s no reason you can’t finish the rest off in a gunfight. Unless you have difficulty on easy, the loud route will almost always get you killed. You have an option to be either sneaky or loud. You have limited personnel and resources. Unlike most real-time strategy games, you are not building bases and units. Especially when they are forced to slaughter innocent civilians. It’s a great eye-opener on what it was like to be a soldier in the Nazi army. Like most military armies, the Nazis do not treat deserters well. Manford doesn’t hesitate to help a guerilla group on turning the tables against the Nazis. it is easier for the player to empathize with the characters. Since the two main characters are both deserters. This is unique as few games focus on a German deserter. War Mongrels is set in the Eastern Front during the year 1944. What follows is Manford escaping with another deserter hoping to get away from war. On the way, his transporter is hit with artillery. As punishment, he is sent to a Penal Squad. A German soldier who refused to shoot innocent civilians. It is available on Sony PlayStation 4 and 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X and S, and Windows PC. War Mongrels is a real-time strategy title. I never heard of War Mongrels before, but it was an awesome game to review.
