PP: War Dogs Red’s Return is fun but woefully short and shallow. There are worse games in the genre, but sadly for War Dogs, there are plenty of others that do it better. The poor story and lack of any real challenge mean that this is one game I am unlikely to play ever again.
Games Asylum: "Considering the mere £3.29 price tag (£2.89 on Steam), I came to WarDogs expecting a simple arcade-style brawler with not much more to offer than an obligatory elevator stage and a few boss battles. Not only did it fit that bill, but it also went beyond expectations with a slew of extras. These include a horde (read: arena) mode, character customisation options, an upgrade system based around randomised loot, a backstory expanding codex, and smartly drawn cut-scenes."
Neil writes: "It may never have really gone away, but the release of Streets of Rage 4 in 2020 made sure that the old-school side scrolling brawler could continue to kick and punch its way to glory in more modern times. There's always room in the market for a new beat 'em up though and that's where WarDogs: Red's Return comes in."
