What is WARDOGS?
WARDOGS is a first-person military shooter where up to 100 players across three teams contest randomized control zones on large maps. Players fight on foot or in vehicles, build and destroy fortifications, and earn persistent cash through objectives and support actions to buy each life’s loadout.

What players say
68% of 146,713 reviews are positive · 50% of 38,290 in the last 30 days
Players praise the gunplay, slower movement, and economy rewards for reviving, transporting, and supplying teammates. Common complaints focus on grind-heavy progression that gives experienced players stronger gear, along with team imbalance and matches dominated by base building, snipers, and mortars rather than the control objective.
