The original "1.0" version was such a mess that they just re-released the game, now called the War Mongrels Polished Edition: https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1101790/view/3385040795529553132

Bugs aside, one of the biggest issues when I played the isodemo last year were the uneven levels which alternated rewarding sections with some rather amateurish decisions design-wise, not quite on par with the quality of the ol' Commandos games and Shadow Tactics/Desperados 3, but also Partisans 1941. The seamless mix of tacticoolness and real-time shooting had its moments, though. Will probably give it another shot, if anything for the (supposedly) improved AI.



Time to redownload it then. When I played the isodemo it was so riddled with game breaking bugs that softlocked me after spending so long on a level I just couldn't be bothered to keep restarting just to be met with yet another bug.
The game does have a great atmosphere and setting behind it so it was a shame that technical issues were the culprit.
Props to them for owning it tho and fixing this shit.

Seems there's nothing to redownload because nobody released a torrent for it. Still amazed at the atrocious state of the "scene" these days. Non existent.

Some 90s style FPS released today from early access and it seems to be all the rage according to its overwhelming positive on steam. It's also on gog, no protection and nobody made a torrent for it either. The guys on rin packaged some emu at least

You noticed? There's a LOT of games that I'm lucky to find on the ruskie site but nowhere on any tracker or official scene release. Today's "Scene" mainly focuses on triple A titles which are usually shit.

Excellent game, so far (Chapter IV).

Most of the bugs / problems seem fixed.

In some ways, I like it more than Mimimi's Desperados 3 & Shadow Tactics. I also find it a bit different. Bit more... daring, with more 'character'.

But probably the one 'Commandos-like' game that I enjoyed the most is Partisans 1941.

You don't have to buy that too, you know! Smile

I liked it more than the safe, casual, non-innovative Desperados 3.

So many bugs , im at chapter 5 , soldier bugged out in front of my character and wont leave so i cant progress with it. Have to restart whole chapter or try to clear all enemies around the bugged area

I left Desperados at half playthrough to return later so i can finish this genre in a good mood.

Partisans didnt have so many bugs but the game felt empty , even the transparent inventory icons left me ghost mode.

Stargate: Timekeepers looks like a mobile fest , whenever it comes out .

Shadow Gambit: The Cursed Crew comes out this week so all good PC Master Race

Partisans 1941 was fine, but I remember the levels being very unequal, and the game dry overall.
Otherwise somewhat pretty with proven mechanics.

A solid 6, let's say.
