It is hard to hold a candle to it even to this day, but War Mongrels seeks to stand up on its own two feet and be a great modern take on the WWII real-time tactics genre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The game includes great stealth mechanics, as well as a &#8220;planning mode&#8221;, which offers a way to plan coordinated actions and get the job done while still feeling like an RTS game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just watch the gameplay video below; it really does exemplify what the genre can and should do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"War Mongrels - Realms Deep 2020 Gameplay\" width=\"1778\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/6znZE_zJ9Vc?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The gameplay looks slick, even for still being in development. It definitely has vibes of Desperados 3, too, with the cone of vision and stealth aspects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What really struck me, however, was the dialog. It didn&#8217;t feel shoe-horned in, or just basic flavor text, but real, meaningful character interaction tied to what is going on and why you&#8217;re doing what you&#8217;re doing in the story. After an abysmal experience with <a href=\"https:\/\/ghostgamer.news\/early-evaluation-gray-zone-early-access-review\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Gray Zone&#8217;s early access release<\/a>, this is very, very welcome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The map also drew me in; not that it is exceptionally large, but just how natural it seems. Rather than appearing to force you to follow a linear path, it gives you freedom while still having subtle direction, guiding you along the path you need to take to succeed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>War Mongrels is slated to be released some time next year; <a href=\"https:\/\/store.steampowered.com\/app\/1101790\/War_Mongrels\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">check it out on Steam<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Commandos was a classic in tactical &amp; strategy gaming.
