About the Game
Do you enjoy a good mix of tactical elements, adventure, and stealth, all tightly packed into a dark, fascinating story? We felt it was a rhetorical question, so that’s the experience we’ve crafted ;)
Try different tactics in each mission. Distract the enemies or drop parts of destroyed buildings on their heads. The interactive environment opens up many tactical options for you to explore.
Have you been spotted? Draw your weapon and try to shoot your way out!
Join forces with a friend (PC) and build your team of mongrels as you play! Each character has their own personality, background, and skills to use during the journey.

Build 9545144
Sep 19, 2022
The patch is here!
We are incredibly excited to finally release the update we've been working on for the past few months. We feel like we pooped the bed a bit last year and we're happy to present War Mongrels as initially envisioned.
You can start by watching our Polished Edition trailer:
Overall, we tracked down over 500 bugs and issues, and many of them were reported by you, so thank you for sticking around!
No more wiggly climbing and odd enemy behavior. Hopefully... ːsteammockingː
{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38629372/83a5560ccb5c6f8cb7e565a67b9b16fcde6f8727.jpg
Bug fixes are covered, now let's talk about various crashfixes and optimizations. 💪 Oh boy, there are many of those! 😅 We optimized the game to not burden GPU and CPU too much. Moreover saving is now smarter, quicker, and saves occupy less space.
{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38629372/9716ada6ce53bc7fab9bea8cf304dfced20b1ab4.jpg
Last but not least - something that many of you have patiently been waiting for: CONTROLLER SUPPORT! 🥳 At the same time, War Mongrels has been recognised as "Playable" for Steam Deck, so give it a try! 🙌
{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38629372/52c6c6c647aee859f31bc4fecc2728dd5afccfeb.jpg
Oh, also the console versions are coming Q1, 2023.
INFO REGARDING PRIOR SAVES (if you have some old ones you'd like to finish first):
Reminder: we’ve added a new public branch named ‘previous_game_version’ for War Mongrels, which allows you to play the last game version, pre-patched. If you want to continue the game from a saved game state, please switch over to that branch, finish your current chapter, switch back to the ‘default’ branch and continue the journey on the latest patch.
How:
- Select the game from your Steam game library (not the store page).
- Click with the right mouse button on War Mongrels and select ‘Properties’.
- In the settings, move to the right side or down – depending on your Steam version: Properties -> Beta -> Select Beta version, choose the desired version.
It will update the game (rollback to the previous version) of the game.
PS. We would like to dedicate this patch to our psychofans from Keinen Pixel! In their delusional extremism, they've tried hard to ruin our team and this game, but here we are. Standing strong, heads high. They've had some really strange takes regarding War Mongrels as neo nazi and neo pagan (whatever that means) propaganda. We would only hope that as self-proclaimed champions of righteousness, they are open to feedback as well. We encourage that you share your opinions on the game with them directly.
