It’s pretty enjoyable, with a fair few weapons to use and strategic techniques to take advantage of. Playing out almost identically to worms, the objective is to kill all the pigs on the opposing team before they kill all the player’s pigs. The biggest visible issue with how the graphics are rendered is that there is a great deal of disproportion between the size of both the stages and the characters.

The various different environments presented players with a range of different atmospheres, but I think in those environments when the weather is much murkier are when the theme of the game is portrayed better such as the last stage, The Isle of Swill. The visuals of the game were fairly well handled for the time.

I spent a lot of time playing this game when I was a kid, and it still holds up to this day as an enjoyable experience.

Set in the First World War Era, and featuring armies of anthropomorphic pigs, Hogs of War was a different take on the genre of games perpetuated by the hit title Worms, which had players fighting across 3D environments as opposed to 2D ones.
