Everything players ask about Warhounds — release, platforms, RNG, classes, missions and the base.
Warhounds is a turn-based tactics & strategy game inspired by XCOM and Jagged Alliance, about an elite mercenary squad in an alternative-future Africa. You command the squad, run a mobile base and take contracts that decide the region's future.
Warhounds was released on Steam on August 11, 2026.
PC via Steam. (Platform tags list Single-player and Family Sharing.)
Developed by Everplay DMCC and published by Brightika, Inc.
No fake RNG. The developers advertise real ballistics with no point-blank misses — hit chances reflect actual angles, cover and line of fire.
Missions are designed for 25–40 minutes, or longer sessions if you settle in for the campaign. Difficulty can be tuned from a brutal tactical hell to a light, relaxing run.
Five classes combine into your squad: Assault, Specialist, Sniper, Machine Gunner and Grenadier.
Your base is a hijacked cargo ship. You recruit operators (up to six), rebuild bays (barracks first), buy equipment, manage logistics, finances and medical, and use intel as currency for contracts and upgrades.
Yes. DAAMAT is seizing East Africa, President Canindo hires the Warhounds, and the campaign unfolds mission by mission — including the opening escort mission Distant Smoke, factions like the Red Hands, and the United People's Front resistance alliance.
