Wardogs dev reflects on the FPS game's messy Steam takeover: "We either fix the queue now or we're f***ed"

FPS-Game is a first-person shooter that launched on PC at the end of 2022. The game draws inspiration from roguelike mechanics reminiscent of Gunfire Reborn while incorporating cooperative elements and Monster Hunter-influenced design. Created by a solo developer with prior Call of Duty experience, the game positions itself as a critique of mainstream military shooters, blending narrative sensibilities closer to Spec Ops: The Line with more experimental design philosophy. Recent coverage has highlighted how the title manages to carve out its own identity by pulling from multiple genre influences rather than following the template established by large-budget franchises.
