About
Warhounds is a turn-based tactical & strategy game, inspired by XCOM and Jagged Alliance, about a mercenary squad with an old-school action movie vibe. Command an elite team of bold, stylish operators, wage a campaign in an alternate-future Africa, and decide the war’s outcome mission by mission.
Calculate lines of fire and flank angle, break cover, and seize the high ground. Every turn is decided more by your planning and tactics, less - by RNG.
Combine classes: Assault, Specialist, Sniper, Machine Gunner, and Grenadier. Pick the right gear for the job, treat and extract, and protect key operatives. Take calculated risks. High combat lethality makes every decision count.
Recruit, upgrade, purchase equipment, and handle logistics, finances, medical supplies, and downtime. Choose allied factions, build relationships, gather intel, and execute covert ops. Your choices have consequences: your decisions determine your access to missions, gear, and allies.
Deploy drones, combat scanners, smoke, and optical camo. Upgrade and improve your kit to win under any conditions.
Knock out a mission in 25-40 minutes, or settle in for a long session. Customize the challenge: go for a brutal tactical hell or a light, relaxing run.
No point-blank misses - flank + close distance = 100% hit chance.
Real ballistics, destructible cover, vertical gameplay, and cone overwatch.
Mercenaries with character and mission-focused loadouts without any busywork.
Base management, contracts, budgets, allies, and consequences for your actions.
Assemble your squad. Take the contract. Decide Africa’s future beyond 2035.

Overall this game is about a 7 on 10 for the genre. It is XCOM mechanics applied to a modern warfare setting. Unfortunately Jagged Alliance has made any game about mercenaries have to be full of quirky humorous characters. I think this game would have been much better served by taking a milsim approach. As it is the characters are never better than forgettable and often cringe. Graphics and audio are serviceable. It IS fun though - I would like to see what this team can come up with for DLC and potentially a sequel.
Great game so far. 20 hours in and it's been a blast.

I really love isometric turn based strategy games. I was weened on the old UFO and XCOM series and have enjoyed the new XCOM series too and various off shoots and similar games - the good, the bad and the boring. Sadly this one lurches into the latter category. Limited loadout options. Awful script and voice acting. Reasonably plausible plot hung out to dry by crappy implementation and ultimately a boring story played out with a frustrating interface. I can't recommend it even for some short term kicks. There's no period of stealth allowing you to arrange your troops so all too often caught out on the battlefield when you should have the upper hand. One gun and one upgrade per soldier class (so far) plus another one you can unlock by helping out pretty unlikeable factions. It's like an XCOM mod that has stripped all the fun out of it. Sadly it's a no from me.
If you're a fan of XCOM or Jagged Alliance, Warhounds is an absolute must-play. The developers completely nailed the old-school action movie vibe, but where the game truly shines is its combat mechanics. i dont like avatars , it is soulless
It's a buggy mess. Soft lock with AI turn never ending. Really shouldn't mark this as a v1.0 release. Maybe down the road this will be playable, but for now treat it a buggy early access.
Game crashed on me a couple of times during the first missions. I decided not to refund because I was actually enjoying the gameplay and figured I'd give the devs a chance to fix it. Patch came out, played several more hours, zero crashes. That's pretty much all I wanted. Now keep polishing the rest of the game.
a good work, AI seems having some tactics.
I love it and if you like X-com you'll love it too
To clarify: Positive reviews serve to influence buyers and provide self-affirmation. Negative reviews serve as constructive criticism and thus aid further development! - With a German voiceover, as in XCOM 1+2 for example, it would be much more intense. Naturally, when the language is different, as it is here, I turn the sound off. However, voices account for 80 per cent of the experience in films. The same applies to games. I won’t accept the hackneyed excuse that there’s no money for it. Because if that’s the case, it wasn’t developed for the German market and shouldn’t be sold there either. The voice-over is essential in some games, such as this one! Furthermore, some of the images have been generated by AI. So why not have the voice-over generated by AI as well? - On the map, houses and trees are a nuisance because you can’t see through them, or because they only clear slowly. - I’d like to change the angle to a bird’s-eye view, as the walls sometimes make it difficult to place your unit in the right spot. - If you complete a mission but there are still trophies nearby, they aren’t added to the mission loot. - Save is on the right, Cancel on the left. It should be the other way round. Presumably a way of insisting on imposing one’s will on others. Oh well… - Cargo hold – All the icons look the same. It’s incredibly confusing. - Some soldiers (veterans) cannot be customised in the changing room. - The cutscene leading into and out of a mission cannot be skipped using the ESC key. Instead, you have to hold down the space bar for a loooooong time. An unnecessary waste of time. - The maps are too small. - Only four soldiers in action. A tactical game thrives on complexity. - If a soldier kills four enemies, they get 45 XP. And a soldier who hasn’t killed anyone gets 40 XP. - Characters aren’t always freely selectable on the map. The only solution is to select the character icon on the left. - In the ‘Warbounds’ folder, there is a ‘Save’ folder containing the save files, and a ‘SaveData’ folder containing exactly the same files. However, this may also be down to Proton (GE-Proton11-5x86_64). - Da’amat’s power increases no matter which mission I successfully complete. There’s no explanation for this either. As it’s very similar to XCOM, such a power bar should decrease as missions are completed. But it doesn’t. I read in a post that you can ignore the bar. I’ll find out soon whether this is true. - Soldier surveillance isn’t working properly yet. If one of my soldiers is being watched by an enemy and I’m standing on a white square or an adjacent one with another soldier, it triggers as soon as I move. - No XCOM dice – with a 100 per cent chance of hitting, you’ll always hit. - The music is fitting. - It's fun. Updates to follow as the game progresses! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Vielen Dank an alle Linux-Entwickler!!! Zur Erläuterung: Positive Bewertungen dienen zur Käuferbeeinflussung und zur Selbstbestätigung. Negative Bewertungen dienen zur konstruktiven Kritik und somit zur Weiterentwicklung! - In deutscher Vertonung, wie z.B. bei XCOM 1+2 wäre es deutlich intensiver. Natürlich stelle ich bei einer anderen Sprache, wie hier, den Ton aus. Jedoch machen Stimmen in Filmen 80% aus. In Spielen ebenso. Die abgedroschene Aussage, dass dafür kein Geld da sei, lasse ich nicht gelten. Denn dann ist es nicht für den deutschen Markt entwickelt worden und darf dort auch nicht verkauft werden. Die Vertonung ist in einigen Spielen, wie hier, essenziell! Zudem sind einige Bilder mit der KI generiert worden. Weshalb also nicht auch die Vertonung durch die KI? - Auf der Karte stören Häuser, bzw. Bäume, durch die man nicht durchsehen kann, bzw. welche nur langsam verwinden. - Ich würde gerne den Winkel, bzw. in die Vogelperspektive ändern, da es einem Wände teilweise nicht leicht machen, seinen Zug an der richtigen Stelle zu platzieren. - Wenn man eine Mission beendet, jedoch noch Trophäen in der Nähe liegen, wird es nicht zum Missionsloot hinzugezählt. - Speichern ist rechts, Abbrechen links. Es sollte umgekehrt sein. Vermutlich ein Weg, anderen Menschen unbedingt seinen Willen aufzwingen zu wollen. Naja… - Frachtraum – Alle Icons sind gleich. Das ist maximal unübersichtlich. - Einige Soldaten (Veteran) kann man nicht in der Umkleide anpassen. - Die Übergangssequenz zur und von einer Mission kann nicht mit ESC überspringt werden. Stattdessen muss langeeeeee die Leertaste gedrückt werden. Unnötige Zeitverschwendung. - Die Karten sind zu klein. - nur vier Soldaten im Einsatz. Ein Taktik-Spiel lebt von Komplexität. - wenn ein Soldat vier Feinde tötet, bekommt er 45 EP. Und ein Soldat, der niemanden getötet hat, bekommt 40 EP. - Charaktere sind nicht immer auf der Karte frei anwählbar. Dann hilft nur das Charaktersymbol links anzuwählen. - In dem Ordner Warbounds gibt es einen Save-Ordner in dem einmal die Speicherdateien liegen und andererseits ein SaveData-Ordner in dem genau noch einmal die selben Dateien gespeichert sind. Liegt aber evtl. auch an Proton (GE-Proton11-5x86_64). - Die Macht von Da’amat steigt, egal, welche Mission ich erfolgreich abschließe. Dazu gibt es auch keine Erklärung. Da es an XCOM sehr nah dran ist, müsste sich solch ein Macht-Balken durch Missions-Abschlüsse verringern. Tut er aber nicht. Ich habe in einem Beitrag gelesen, dass man den Balken ignorieren kann. Ob dies stimmt, werde ich bald herausfinden. - Die Überwachung von Soldaten funktioniert noch nicht einwandfrei. Wenn einer meiner Soldaten von einem Gegner überwacht wird und ich mit einem weiteren Soldaten auf einem weißen, bzw. angrenzenden Feld stehe, löst es aus, sobald ich mich bewege. - Keine XCOM-Würfel – Bei 100% Trefferchance trifft man auch. - Die Musik ist stimmig. - Es macht Spaß. Aktualisierung folgt im Spielverlauf!
This game is awesome. XCOM without the the aliens. When they say you can hire someone thats purple HIRE THEM! Kick out one of the NPCs on your team. The purple people have voice lines and interactions with the team. I can only play it on my good PC though. I hope they have a setting later where you can turn the graphics way down. Also I would like an option to give items to other teammates in combat. Like giving your explosives person an extra nade another teammate brought or an armor plate.
