There are few things more annoying than finally sitting down for a gaming session, launching your new favorite tactical shooter, and getting… absolutely nothing. You click Play on Steam. The game starts. Maybe you can hear music. Maybe the menu sounds are playing somewhere behind the darkness. Then the screen stays black, the cursor disappears,…
There are few things more annoying than buying or installing a game, waiting for it to finish downloading, and then watching it crash before you even reach the main menu. Warhounds can be especially frustrating when the problem happens immediately after pressing Play. Instead of getting into a tactical battle, you may be staring at…
If there is one thing I have learned from spending way too many hours in Warhounds, it is that the fastest way to become powerful is not necessarily to fight everything you see. This is one of those tactical games where knowing when to pull the trigger matters just as much as knowing when to…
Warhounds is the kind of tactical game that can make you feel like a genius one minute and punish you for a single bad decision the next.

A sloppy firefight isn’t just a bad turn. It’s another medical bill,…
Warhounds is the kind of tactical game that makes me slow down and think before pulling the trigger. And I mean that as a compliment. After spending time with games that throw random hit percentages at you, it is refreshing to play something where a bad shot feels like my fault rather than the result…
Warhounds is exactly the kind of game that makes me appreciate the Steam Deck and question it at the same time. On a desktop PC, you can throw more power at a demanding tactical game and forget about it. On Valve’s handheld, every setting matters. One option can be the difference between a smooth battlefield…
Warhounds immediately caught my attention for one very simple reason: it looks like a tactical game that actually wants me to trust my own decisions. After hundreds of hours spent with games like XCOM, Jagged Alliance, Phoenix Point, and other turn-based strategy titles, I have developed a complicated relationship with RNG. Missing a target from…
There is a particular kind of strategy game that can make you stare at the screen for several minutes before moving a single soldier. You check the angles. You count ammunition.
