H.O.G.S.

In H.O.G.S., two teams of miniature fighter pigs engage in a brutal, turn-based battle. An integral part of the game's strategy is destroying the environment.

A Chaotic Battlefield

Every shot fired aims not only to take down opponents but also to permanently alter the terrain. Projectiles carve out craters that grow ever larger, eventually tearing the landscape into a shattered mess. Wind is not merely cosmetic; it is a dynamic force that dictates every shot's trajectory. You must gauge wind direction and intensity before holding the fire button to charge your shot. Then release it at the right moment to guide your projectile along the intended path. A diverse arsenal opens up countless tactical approaches. Pressing the fire button twice detonates mines in mid-air, and homing missiles may be locked onto targets using the mouse. Each weapon requires a unique approach, turning every turn into a mini-puzzle of strategy. As the terrain erodes with every shot, previously safe positions can quickly become perilous.

The Turn-Based Loop

Each turn in H.O.G.S. follows a clear sequence yet remains full of variables. Players maneuver their warrior pig to an advantageous spot—jumping or backflipping over craters—before adjusting their aim. Tactical depth arises from the fact that every crater created remains permanently, gradually transforming the map into a ruined labyrinth. The team that best exploits the changing landscape gains the upper hand. Detonating unique weaponry in mid-flight, such as sheep or mines, allows you to catch opponents off guard. One misfire might throw your squad into a crater you created; thus, distance, firing angles, and wind conditions are critical.
