WarDogs: Red's Return is a hurricane beat 'em up with a side view in retro style. After a deadly plague nearly destroyed the world, the remnants of humanity turned to gene splicing to survive. The beast-like people are now trying to survive in the few settlements that still exist. Living on the outskirts of a technological paradise, outcasts from the society of the powerful, bear their burden under the rule of numerous gangs that control the suburb.
