Set during World War II, War Mongrels was developed and published by the Polish studio Destructive Creations. In this game, you'll have to progress through several missions, complete objectives, and employ different strategies.

War Mongrels is a real-time tactics game based on World War II. On the Eastern Front in 1944, you take control of two German deserters whose goal is to fight and save innocent lives.

Several missions, inspired by the horrors of war, are available. Its gameplay, which combines tactics, stealth, and adventure, requires you to adopt different strategies for each mission. You'll be able to interact with your environment to progress. However, if you're spotted, you can use your weapons or try to escape. 

Throughout your adventure, other characters will join you. Each of them has their own weapons, skills, and personality. As a result, you'll have to adapt your playstyle and think carefully before taking any action. In addition, if you want to play with a friend, a co-op mode is also available.
