War Mongrels shares Nintendo Switch release date, new trailer

Red Deer Games, in collaboration with Destructive Creations, has announced that the real-time tactics title War Mongrels will be released on Nintendo Switch on September 16.

Set on the Eastern Front of World War II, the game features a dark narrative that begins with two characters before others join the group, each bringing their own unique abilities. Players will need to manage their team carefully, selecting the right members for missions that involve sabotage, stealing documents, taking down enemies, and even helping civilians.

Here’s some additional information:

When the image created by propaganda does not match what one witnesses, not everyone is able to come to terms with it.
Having witnessed the cruelest evidence of the German Nazis’ war on the Eastern Front during World War II, two Wehrmacht soldiers desert and declare guerrilla warfare on their former superiors.

The story begins with two characters, but soon others join them, all sharing the same goal. Each character has a different set of skills, and players will have to learn how to manage them efficiently and delegate the most suitable people for each guerrilla mission.

Stealing documents, sabotage, eliminating officers, or helping civilians. The team will carry out a multitude of different missions, each requiring the player to think strategically, deploy resources, and use available assets – such as a building that can be collapsed on the enemies’ heads.

Using a special planning mode that pauses the action, players will be able to carefully consider each move their people make. And when the mission gets discovered, well, there’s nothing better than good old improvisation…

In addition to its dark narrative, fast-paced action, and meticulous tactics, War Mongrels is also a unique lesson in the history of the Eastern Front, never before brought to the world of gaming. Events, dates, locations, and even details such as weapons and uniforms have been historically recreated. Including the hellishly cruel, realistic image of war.

Take a look at a trailer for the game below.
