System: PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S Let’s hope it does so sooner rather than later, because sandwiching lush and detailed visuals between the terms “isometric” and “real-time RTS” is a great way to keep our interest piqued.

While they started out simply hoping to get away from the war entirely, they eventually strive to prevent the unnecessary deaths of innocents who tend to get caught in the crossfire. The characters of War Mongrels don’t just grow in terms of realizing their purpose, but they also evolve in the way they carry out their own acts of war along the way. In the context of a real-time strategy game, these varied attributes provide a chance to mix up tactics and choose what works best for each situation, from those who specialize in sneaking and distraction to others who are more action-oriented guerrilla fighters.

The story in question centers on a pair of Wehrmacht soldiers who start out fueled by propaganda. Specifically, War Mongrels wants to ride that line between inspiring stories of courage and the evidence war provides of the “darkest parts of the human character,” resulting in a campaign derived from a mix of history and original storytelling inspired by these historic events. This year will mark the release of War Mongrels, an isometric real-time strategy game that aims to focus on an aspect of the war that the team feels has been receiving less attention in the gaming world.
