Abstract

The article focuses on *Warhounds*, a turn-based tactics game developed by Dubai-based Everplay DMCC and published by Brightika, which draws inspiration from titles like XCOM and Jagged Alliance. Set in a 2030s African city, the game emphasizes tactical clarity by eliminating point-blank misses and reducing randomness in hit chances, while maintaining realistic line-of-sight and cover mechanics. Players command mercenaries against class-based insurgents rather than aliens, managing their squad and upgrades from a mobile base between missions. *Warhounds* aims to streamline traditional tactics gameplay while establishing its own identity within the genre.
