We are incredibly excited to finally release the update we've been working on for the past few months. We feel like we pooped the bed a bit last year and we're happy to present War Mongrels as initially envisioned.
You can start by watching our Polished Edition trailer: Overall, we tracked down over 500 bugs and issues, and many of them were reported by you, so thank you for sticking around! No more wiggly climbing and odd enemy behavior. Hopefully... ΛsteammockingΛ
Bug fixes are covered, now let's talk about various crashfixes and optimizations. πͺ Oh boy, there are many of those! π We optimized the game to not burden GPU and CPU too much. Moreover saving is now smarter, quicker, and saves occupy less space.
Last but not least - something that many of you have patiently been waiting for: CONTROLLER SUPPORT! π₯³ At the same time, War Mongrels has been verified for Steam Deck, so give it a try! π
Oh, also the console versions are coming Q1, 2023.
INFO REGARDING PRIOR SAVES (if you have some old ones you'd like to finish first): Reminder: weβve added a new public branch named βprevious_game_versionβ for War Mongrels, which allows you to play the last game version, pre-patched. If you want to continue the game from a saved game state, please switch over to that branch, finish your current chapter, switch back to the βdefaultβ branch and continue the journey on the latest patch.
How:
Select the game from your Steam game library (not the store page).
Click with the right mouse button on War Mongrels and select βPropertiesβ.
In the settings, move to the right side or down β depending on your Steam version: Properties -> Beta -> Select Beta version, choose the desired version.
It will update the game (rollback to the previous version) of the game.
PS. We would like to dedicate this patch to our psychofans from Keinen Pixel! In their delusional extremism, they've tried hard to ruin our team and this game, but here we are. Standing strong, heads high. They've had some really strange takes regarding War Mongrels as neo nazi and neo pagan (whatever that means) propaganda. We would only hope that as self-proclaimed champions of righteousness, they are open to feedback as well. We encourage that you share your opinions on the game with them directly.

Dear Jerzy,
Damn weather! We are facing a major problem: we are heavily dependent on supplies of life, equipment, ammunition and fuel from artificial harbours. Due to the poor weather, support is limited. I have heard that the waves destroy the caissons of the outer jetties. The confusion is immense in two artificial ports: boats also run aground, some sink and floating bridges break their moorings. The supply of the front is extremely delayed! Iβm hungry so Iβm going to sleep a little bit longerβ¦
Your loving,
Anna

Dear Jerzy,
North and northwest of Caen are absorbed with fightings between the mechanized infantry divisions. Additionally, the situation is disastrous for our allied airmen who do not have enough territory to install advanced landing grounds. The general is getting nervous. Gretaβs trying to cheer me up by telling me stories about her unusual friends - Manfred and Joachim. Manfred is a German deserter, please give him a chance when you will meet him in Warsaw. The fighting on the Eastern front changed him. No, I donβt have a crush on him you silly!
Your loving, Anna
In memory of...

Dear Jerzy,
The German lines of defence north of Caen hold good and do not seem to want to break. We are violently pushed back by tanks and the artillery. But I have good news as well, I think I found you a wife! Her name is Alicja, pseudonym βGretaβ. She is also a liaison officer like me! Green eyes, dark hair, short stature, higher education and big personal charm, you always talked about such a woman! Jerzy, Alicja also belongs to the AK and will be returning to Warsaw soon, you have to meet her!
