Summary
Hogs of War throws you into a turn‑based tactics arena where each pig is piloted in a third‑person view, moving, jumping or swimming before unleashing a weapon. The combat feels like a 3D Worms showdown, complete with sudden death from falling off the map or plunging into poisonous water.
An arsenal of 40 weapons – from sniper rifles and bazookas to jet‑packs and even tank‑mounted cannons – lets you customize your squad for maximum mayhem. You can choose from six tongue‑in‑cheek nations (Great Britain, USA, France, Germany, Russia and Japan), each offering four classes: Heavy Weapons, Medic, Engineer and Espionage.
The game packs a 25‑level single‑player campaign and a multiplayer mode supporting up to four players online or locally, with promotion medals that unlock new gear. All of it is laced with a cheeky sense of humor, voiced by British comic legend Rik Mayall, giving every explosion a laugh‑filled punchline.
Storyline
In Hogs of War, a pig‑shaped archipelago called Saustralasia sits in the South Pigsific Ocean, its 25 swill‑rich regions promising the “lifeblood of pigs”. The moment an untapped supply of swill is discovered, every Hog Nation rushes to claim it, because “he who controls the swill controls the universe.” Resources are thin, so each squad must fight with a modest army, gaining new skills and weapons after every victory.
The campaign spans six islands—from Hogshead down to Arstria—though the main action concentrates on five key regions: Hogshead, Saustralia, Trottsville, Bellyopolis and Arstria. As squads capture each territory, a tongue‑in‑cheek vintage film plays, teaching absurd survival tips and hinting at a secret military project. After the mainland is secured, the final showdown erupts on the Isle of Swill against the ambiguous Team Lard.
When the dust settles, all pig nations celebrate the end of the war, even though a lone soldier laments that nothing was truly achieved. Sergeant I.P. Grimly, voiced by Rik Mayall, delivers an upbeat speech, reminding everyone that the conflict was worth it for the medal they receive.
