Hogs of War

Hogs of War

Hogs of War is a turn-based tactics game in which players take turns controlling individual members of their squad of Hogs to fight the enemy, similar to Worms. In each round, the player takes control of a single member of their squad in a third-person perspective and moves around the map, jumping over terrain and swimming across bodies of water, but can only fight while standing. Each round has a fixed time limit and ends when the timer counts down to zero, the player skips his/her turn, uses a weapon or ability, or if he/she is accidentally injured, such as walking into a minefield or falling from a high surface. Other hazards include bodies of water, which can be swum through but cause damage to almost all soldiers and drain health from them as they swim. If a teammate is pushed into the water by an enemy, he automatically swims to the nearby shore. While difficult, it is also possible to knock Hogs off the map, resulting in instant death. When all life points are used up and the player is on land, he falls over with a final comical remark before exploding.
