Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
115 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
For such a mechanics-driven genre, from a narrative standpoint, War Mongrels is surprisingly very well done.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
85 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Some maps even make you feel like playing a semi-open world game, with 5~6 areas that you can freely choose which one to clear first.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
58 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The visuals totally match the atmosphere of a location a mission takes place in, for example missions in Poland are grim, depressing and oppressive with rubble all around showcasing the destruction while missions in France are vibrant and colorful showing that war never really touched that soil
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
19 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
There's also some very welcome gameplay and mechanical improvements over Commandos and the voice acting is nothing to sniff at either.
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
19 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Short description is that if you are a fan of commandos style games you should buy it especially if you got a friend for coop!
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
13 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Every playable character is really likable (except someone--you will know who after finishing this game) and there are no obvious stereotypes.
