War Mongrels

Set on the Eastern Front of World War II, War Mongrels puts you in command of a squad of characters with different backgrounds and skills. A dark, story-led campaign follows their journey through wartime missions.

Each mission is a real-time tactical challenge: observe enemy patrols, plan routes, use distractions and take enemies out quietly. The environment can create opportunities too, including dropping parts of damaged buildings on opponents.

Characters bring different abilities to each mission, so coordinating the squad is central to completing objectives. If stealth breaks down, you can switch to direct gunfights. The campaign can be played solo or in online co-op on PC.

Players who enjoy the game often praise its tactical stealth, careful planning and the satisfaction of finding a way through difficult encounters. Story, characters and the grim WWII setting also stand out for some reviewers, while others criticize or dispute the historical perspective. Reviews frequently mention awkward controls, bugs and unreliable character or enemy behavior, which can make challenging missions frustrating.
