Wild Warfare (2014)

Survival of the fittest: now with guns! *Wild Warfare* (2014) is a free-to-play, class and vehicle-based FPS starring a colourful cast of critter mercenaries locked in frantic combat. Inspired by old-school shooters, *Wild Warfare* seeks to capture the fun and fur-ious action of classic era multiplayer games, ditching modern conventions like regenerating health for a more demanding, arcade-style experience. Currently in Alpha, the game already offers a glimpse of its potential with well-balanced gameplay, crazy characters including bears with mini-guns, and a variety of features. Engage in class-based combat as nimble rabbits with bludgeoning weapons or raccoons armed with assault rifles, command armoured Walkers transforming the battlefield with devastating missile barrages, and customize your animal with warpaint, hats, and backpacks. Battle it out in classic game modes like Capture the Flag, Team Deathmatch, and Deathmatch, and rise through the ranks to earn your infamy. *Wild Warfare* earns its place amongst the best games by Hyper Hippo Games not only for its innovative blend of animal characters and intense FPS action but also for its embodiment of the studio's design philosophy. While the game didn't achieve long-term success and is no longer actively developed, it showcased Hyper Hippo's willingness to experiment with diverse genres and quirky themes. Its focus on accessible yet challenging gameplay, coupled with its vibrant art style and humorous tone, are hallmarks of Hyper Hippo's best titles, solidifying *Wild Warfare* as a memorable, if brief, foray into the world of multiplayer shooters, demonstrating the studio's creative spirit and commitment to delivering unique gaming experiences.
