Its story-driven campaign takes inspiration in the grim events that actually took place and the real stories that arose from them. Dive into the dark side of war on your own or in co-op.

    The heavily history-inspired storyline guides players through the journey of two Wehrmacht soldiers as they go from deserters to hefty guerilla fighters. Their team expands as they meet new characters who support the same cause. As each character has their own set of skills and advantages, players must learn to combine them effectively to outsmart the enemy during a variety of missions in a changing environment. Sneaking, distraction, silent kills, and using the environment are some of the main skills players will have to take to heart, but a stock of firearms will also be available and useful in completing mission objectives.    … Expand

    War Mongrels is a great game with a raw vision of World War II. Fans of Commandos series should be satisfied, history buffs will find some interesting facts, and all gamers will get an original story about redemption and a really solid gameplay.

    War Mongrels pulls no punches in its grim, realistic depiction of WWII. Do you like Commandos? Then try its new cousin and attempt to overlook several mistakes, such as the unimpressive AI.

    At its best, War Mongrels is a smart and challenging RTT game that really exercises your logic skills and makes you take a minute to gather your thoughts before acting on them – otherwise you die. And you will die often as you explore all of its fun features exploit your surroundings and character abilities. Sadly, this RTT game also tends to take advantage of your patience with its messy controls, irksome voice acting, and bugs that can lead to frustrating moments that make you want to stop playing. It’s rewarding when it works in your favor, but its rough edges will surely turn the fun into a struggle.

    War Mongrels is not the worst attempt at an offshoot of Commandos. The missions are comprehensive and with diverse content, the audiovisual side is good. But then there are things that are not good enough.

    My heart really wants to give War Mongrels a higher score for the love that went into the visual aspect and the bravery to tackle one of the lesser remembered parts of the Word War 2, but the bugs and some really bad dialogue stayed my hand.

    10/10 Did not experience any game breaking or progress restricting bugs. Needs some polish but it's a game that in spirit is Commandos 4

    Very strong game mechanics and story-wise. Unfortunately - bugs. Game was not tested well enough and suffers from it.

    I love history so I thought it will be the game for me. It surely is BUT it has a few absolutely immersion-killing bugs. The plot is reallyI love history so I thought it will be the game for me. It surely is BUT it has a few absolutely immersion-killing bugs. The plot is really interesting and I love how the characters are written. The game tells the user incredible story about people fighting for freedom during II WW. No heroes, just people wanting to be free. I'll get back to it when everything will be fixed. Good job devs anyway!… Expand

    Not a total disaster as a game, but because of the bug, there is a high possibility you get stuck. The story is bullpoop - fairy tale forNot a total disaster as a game, but because of the bug, there is a high possibility you get stuck. The story is bullpoop - fairy tale for polish super-patriots, who wants to belevie so bad, that our nation is so heroic, so brave, that Europe would probably be gone during WWII if not the polish resistance. I don`t buy it. I know - it`s just a action game. But the plot is about very fragile aspects of our history, and the collectibles and encyclopedia of the game tries to crate an impression, that you can learn some history there. Yeah, maybe for some radicals. I would say the motives of Destructive Creations are at least questionable....… Expand

    Riddled with bugs and awful design choices, a mess of a game with a great premise that got wasted in an otherwise broken game.

    These devs (Destructive Creations) ironically launched a destructive game full of bugs and major issues at launch. Worse yet, they promisedThese devs (Destructive Creations) ironically launched a destructive game full of bugs and major issues at launch. Worse yet, they promised bug fixes "twice per week" but are not patching the game regularly, and there are numerous and significant bugs affecting many players. Absolutely pathetic. This game was launched prematurely and an absolute disaster. AVOID !!!… Expand
