What Dog Duty is
Dog Duty is an arcade game developed by Zanardi and Liza and released in 2020. It was published by SOEDESCO Publishing. It is available on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Mac and PC (Microsoft Windows). It runs on Unity.
The premise, in the publisher's words
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.
How it plays
It is played from a bird view / isometric perspective. Its themes are action. It is a single-player game with no multiplayer component. There are 22 achievements to unlock.
How it was received
Dog Duty holds a critic score of 70 out of 100. That places it above 35% of the 2,164 rated arcade games in our database, which average 70. Games released in 2020 averaged 73, so it scored 3 points below the year average.
What you need to run it
The minimum specification calls for Intel i3, 2 GB RAM and Nvidia GeForce GTX 770. At 2GB of RAM, it will run on essentially any working PC — that is below what a budget laptop ships with today. Both tiers are compared side by side on the requirements page, and you can check your own parts against them without installing anything.
What it launched against
Dog Duty launched on 16 September 2020, within three weeks of Marvel's Avengers, Hades, Hades and Genshin Impact. All of them reviewed better. It arrived 7 years into the PlayStation 4's life, so it was built for hardware developers already knew well.
Released around the same time: Marvel's Avengers, Hades, Hades, Genshin Impact.
