Destructive Creations has announced an isometric real time strategy game called War Mongrels, which will be heading to PC, current gen consoles, and next gen consoles. War Mongrels is set during the Eastern Front of the Second World War but it is not focused on the military. Instead, players will be controlling squads of guerrilla fighters. The story starts with two German soldiers disobeying orders and deserting the German side. The focus is on the Germans who opposed the Nazi regime, including people such as nurses and teachers who join the guerrilla fighters.
Martin Stanek, Business Development Manager at Destructive Creations, said:
“Many games take place in World War II, but there’s hardly ever a spotlight on the Eastern Front. My grandfather told us tales of soldiers filled with regret, and we feel it is our duty to share those stories with War Mongrels.”
In War Mongrels, players will control squads of four characters as they pick their way through battlefields, villages, towns, cities, and concentration camps. German, Polish, and Lithuanian soldiers will also join the guerrilla fighters, but there will be others from the enemy side you will have to take out. Players will be able to try and sneak around enemy encampments or go in with a frontal assault, picking up equipment from the battles. The levels will be quite large and sandbox so you can approach conflicts in a number of different ways. War Mongrels will feature co-op.
War Mongrels is expected to release in 2021.
