Warhounds (v1.0.0)

Warhounds is a turn-based tactical strategy game set in an alternate-future Africa beyond 2035, where you lead a mercenary squad through a gripping campaign shaped by your choices. Drawing inspiration from classics like XCOM and Jagged Alliance, the game emphasizes careful planning and tactical decision-making over random chance. You command a diverse team of operators, each with distinct classes such as Assault, Specialist, Sniper, Machine Gunner, and Grenadier, allowing you to tailor your squad’s composition and equipment to suit different combat scenarios. Combat is intense and lethal, with realistic ballistics, destructible cover, and vertical gameplay that reward thoughtful positioning, flanking, and use of the environment. Advanced tools like drones, combat scanners, smoke grenades, and optical camouflage add further layers to your tactical options. Between missions, Warhounds shifts focus to base management, where you recruit and upgrade mercenaries, manage finances, medical supplies, and relationships with allied factions. Your decisions here influence the missions available, the gear you can acquire, and the alliances you build, creating a dynamic campaign experience where every choice carries weight. The game offers flexibility in pacing, letting you complete missions in 25 to 40 minutes or dive into longer play sessions, with adjustable difficulty settings ranging from challenging tactical encounters to more relaxed runs. With its blend of strategic depth, character-driven squads, and a richly imagined future setting, Warhounds invites players to shape the fate of a continent through skillful command and calculated risks.
