WARDOGS is a large-scale tactical first-person shooter set within an expansive militaristic sandbox. Rather than traditional two-team matches, gameplay splits up to 100 players across three competing factions fighting for control over randomized objective zones. Matches combine infantry gunplay with tanks and other vehicles, destructible terrain, field fortification building, and logistics management. Progression is driven by persistent Cash and Experience (XP) earned across matches, complemented by tactical proximity voice chat.
