SOEDESCO has announced the release date of its commandos-inspired real-time tactics game Dog Duty. Dog Duty will arrive on Nintendo Switch, PS4, Xbox One, and Steam on September 17, 2020. Developed by Zanardi & Liza, a two-person development studio, Dog Duty will allow players to control a squad of three characters and wreak havoc, destroy installations and fight the exotic and evil Octo-Army in an open-world.
The official press release describes the game as:
A nostalgic feel of the 80’s and 90’s
Dog Duty was inspired by classic games and TV series such as Commandos and G.I. Joe. Created based on the nostalgic memories from developer Zanardi & Liza, classic villains such as Mojo Jojo from The Powerpuff Girls and Dr. Eggman from Sonic the Hedgehog played a big part in the development of the evil octopus army. It’s the way these villains think of themselves as the greatest beings alive. The same characteristics apply to the octo-bosses that players have to fight against in Dog Duty. The octopuses lend themselves well to powerful and unique creatures that bring a healthy dose of humor and chaos, much like the villains from classic 80s and 90’s series. The retro graphics, upbeat music and fast-paced Real Time Tactics style of the game provide a unique old school feel that appeal to young and old.
About Dog Duty
Control a squad of misfits as they go up against some evil bigwig Octopus Commander and his army who are threatening world-peace. In this fun, fast-paced Real Time Tactics game, you go into combat and use guerrilla warfare to eliminate all octo-scum. Fight on top of your moving vehicle as you go from island to island to liberate outposts and defeat wicked bosses in their crazy octo-machines. Wreck those squids up, but beware, they’re well-armed.
Key features of Dog Duty include:
- Assemble a 3-person squad and fight in Real Time Squid combat
- Liberate outposts to cut-off weapon, armor and other octo-supplies
- Defeat epic bosses and kill your way to the Evil Octopus Commander
- Fight on top of your armored octo-frying vehicle while driving
