Warhounds

tl;dr: This is one for next year's summer sale, if that. There might be a good game here, heck there might even be a great game here, but it's layered under an absolutely terrible presentation and an AI with baffling logic. Animations are stiff, the voice acting is atrocious, the dialogue is poorly written/translated, the jokes/quips lazy and every single character model looks like it belongs in the early 2000s, the designs themselves in the 1990s. I get it, it was made for a Russian market, so every single female character has to look like she's had at least double-digit plastic surgeries and the men have to look like a mix of Rambo and the Red Guardian, or your standard neet to make sure every Russian teenager can insert themselves, but this is just lazy. Speaking of lazy, the setting/premise of the game has about as much thought behind it as your yearly recycled FPS game: Good guy PMC goes to Africa to save Samora Ma... I mean totally legitimate and legally destinct president that everyone loves, who certainly never comitted any war crimes! The greatest irony being there's a great story to tell there, but that's all thrown out the window within the first 45 minutes of the game. If you're wondering how I gathered all that from just 45 minutes, it's because it's painfully obvious what the game tries to set up from the first 5 minutes by having you essentially "click on a war crime" committed by the other side, if the cinematic wasn't clear enough. Whereas Jagged Alliance was very self-aware, Warhounds simply falls face-first into every single 90s trope you could imagine. As for the gameplay, the AI seems to not understand what to do half the time. In the two missions I managed to stomach before my refund, the AI managed to hit me two times despite me setting characters up to get flanked and shot deliberately to test the waters. And the two times the AI hit me weren't by flanking my very flankable characters, it was by peppering the same character four times through cover both times. To top it all off, I placed my shotgun character one tile away from an enemy around a corner and watched that enemy join in the firing squad after I ended the turn. The funny thing is I could easily forgive the terrible and quite frankly bland presentation if there was at least a decent X-Com or Jagged Alliance underneath it, but the Ai experiments I got to do during those 45 minutes told me all I needed to know: No ammount of interesting gameplay mechanics can save a game where you exploit the AI every turn without meaning to.

It's XCOM2 but ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ with a lot of AI slop

about half a hour inGame ... second tutorial . I can't end my round cause fking bug don't let me .. REFUND ... !!! No more Space for this kinda filthy trash anymore ! They have to learn that ! No money from me.

This game is basically if you take XCOM, Jagged Alliance 3, and a 12 year old who thinks the females need tight clothes and fat a$$es. It's enjoyable for the first 2 hours, but now I can't get my money back.

Tinha tudo para ser bom. Mas, precisa de muita correção. Proposta semelhante ao Jagged Aliance 3. Só é ruim. Física não existe. Enredo bem pobre. Vou esperar as atualizações.

buggy and unposlished so far.

extremely frustrating game- as if programmers bigging up their tactical egos even on easy settings; I guess they thought this project was beneath them; such a wasted opportunity. save your money for better programmers; this was not fun
