Dog Duty

Dog Duty is a labor of love where the fruits of that labor are average.

Whilst reminiscent of classic, isometric battlers, Dog Duty doesn’t make it easy to get into. There’s fun when it’s in full swing, but the wind up to it just won’t be worth it for casual players.

Dog Duty brings its own mechanics and ideas to a renaissance genre, doing more than enough to stand out. Part of that is how challenging and fun the game is, but a lot comes from the strength of the setting and the great script.

Dog Duty is certainly an experience, I'll give it that, though not exactly a good one. There's a grand parade of issues here, from poor visuals to inept path finding and everything else in between. I'm not saying Dog Duty is the worst game I've ever played, but it's certainly up for contention.
