Our take on Wild Dogs
Rather than staying with one platforming format, the game shifts between on-foot shooting, vehicle use, machine piloting, and boss encounters. Its two-character setup also pairs a conventional weapons specialist with a stealth-focused Labrador, giving the alien-invasion campaign an unusual cast.
What is Wild Dogs?
