Gameplay
The player takes control of pigs in soldier uniforms armed with a variety of weapons. In each round the soldiers can be moved and fire a shot. The goal is to wipe out all enemy soldiers. In addition, additional tasks can be carried out, for which the player receives medals. These medals can be used to promote the player's soldiers, which improves their skills. The missions become more and more difficult and the player can expect accordingly promoted and thus stronger opponents. The playable areas range from snowy mountains to hot desert landscapes. In some areas, the player can take advantage of the environment by pushing, hitting or shooting enemy players into rivers or minefields. This can also happen to your own characters.
action
The action takes place on an island group called Saustallasien in the ocean Südpigzifik on which it big swill deposits are. Since these mean power and fame, all pig nations want to bring them into their possession and are therefore forced to fight each other for it. There are six nations in total:
- Russia : Grunzkovskis ( red )
- United States : Beefy Boys ( light blue )
- England : Fish'n'Ribs ( Green )
- France : Porc Au Vin ( blue )
- Germany : Eisbeine ( gray )
- Japan : Bonsai Quieker ( yellow )
The player has to choose one of these teams. After the start of the game, the selected team arrives on the first island and now has to conquer area by area that has already been occupied by the opposing teams. The game is won when all islands - including their respective areas - belong to the player's team.
Multiplayer
In the multiplayer mode up to four players can compete with or against each other, in connection with a multi-tap even up to eight players. In order to give the multiplayer more momentum, supply crates with special weapons are sometimes thrown off or military facilities such as bunkers or guns can be taken.
