War Rats is a unique game that, despite its flaws, has a certain charm that keeps me hooked. The game features a quirky mix of rat-themed weapons and structures, along with some amusing animations. It’s a 2D strategy game where you navigate through stages, summon troops, and build structures to advance. The game’s humor shines through with rats wielding hammers and witty one-liners like “Tell my wife…squeak.”
The game also includes elements like recruiting troops, upgrading weapons and gear, base building, roguelike progression, and a challenging Iron Rat Mode. The hand-drawn art style adds to the game’s charm, creating a unique world of Ratopia.
While the game can be unforgiving and challenging, it also offers a sense of satisfaction in overcoming obstacles. The demo provides a glimpse of the game’s potential, leaving room for excitement about future updates. If you’re intrigued by free rats, rat puns, and strategic gameplay, consider giving War Rats a try when it releases in Q2 2025.
