A brand-new first-person shooter, Wardogs, could be a breakout title for the genre, according to players who recently went hands-on with an early version of the game.
If you’re not already familiar, Wardogs is a large-scale FPS that feels like a mix between Battlefield and Arma. There are vehicles, 100 players per match, massive maps, destructible environments, looting, and grounded tactical gunplay, but there are also some pretty unique elements.
Every time you die, you spawn back at your base and build your loadout from scratch using money. You earn money by killing enemies, capturing objectives, and assisting your team in various ways. You can even tip your teammates for reviving you, healing you, or transporting you from base via helicopter, meaning players can show how much they value their teammates with direct rewards.
All in all, it’s a pretty interesting blend of the shooters we know and love with new twists. The game had a sizable closed alpha playtest over the weekend, and fans have weighed in on their feelings about the game. Many of them are glowingly positive, with some saying they see it having the potential to be a big hit.
“Wardogs I feel has the ceiling to be incredibly successful,” said one player. “Especially if they can eventually get it to console. Everyone loves ARMA [Worst Case Scenario mods] once they sink time and teeth into it. Wardogs has those same wow moments in a much more pickup-and-play accessible format.”
