Warhounds is a turn-based tactical game about an elite mercenary squad with an old-school action movie vibe, inspired by XCOM and Jagged Alliance. Recruit unique fighters, upgrade your base, and fight for Africa’s future. Less fake RNG, more true ballistics and lethal tactics.

“Overall an ok game. If you haven't played XCOM, play that instead. There's also Jagged Alliance 3. Tomorrow, the Star Wars XCOM is also coming out and that looks good. This game has pretty dated graphics, definitely what seems like AI-generated photos leftover from the demo…”
