Coming Soon To Early Access

The developers of this game intend to release as a work in progress, developing with the feedback of players.

Note: Games in Early Access are not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development. Learn more

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Punk Dog Wars plays well today, and we want real players to shape it before 1.0. A MOBA lives on its matches: we need to see how people fight, which dogs feel strong or weak, and where newcomers get stuck, so we can tune balance, pacing and onboarding with that feedback.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“About two weeks. We use that time to fix what players report and tune balance before 1.0.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“Balance and bug fixes from Early Access feedback, smoother onboarding and performance work. After 1.0 we keep adding dogs, bosses and Steam features such as achievements.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The whole game is playable: 20 dogs, 1v1v1, 2v2v2 and 5v5 matches, solo and online play, a guided first match, upgrade cards, skill evolutions at levels 4 and 9, two world bosses, keyboard and gamepad, English and Portuguese (Brazil). Expect balance changes and rough edges.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“Punk Dog Wars is free to play now and will stay free to play after Early Access.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“Through the Steam discussion forums and reviews, in-game feedback and match data: what players tell us decides which dogs, balance changes and features come next. We post patch notes for every update.”

About This Game

One stick. Your dog fights. You decide where.

Punk Dog Wars is a three-way MOBA with nothing to press but where you go. Walk to dodge, stand still to shoot. Your dog casts its own skills, so every decision is about position: when to push, when to step out of a strike, when to turn back and save your Core.

Every attack is drawn on the ground

Every rival strike is marked on the floor before it lands. Walk out of it and it misses. Dodge an aimed shot and your dog banks NERVE for a harder hit of its own.

Three teams, one surviving Core

Fight 1v1v1, 2v2v2 or 5v5 across the streets of Véspera, a São Paulo-inspired city in 2187. Capture relays for stronger drone waves, take the turbo tracks to reach a fight first, and survive the bosses that come for everyone: the Warden Hound and the Tall Good Boy.

Build a different dog every match

  • 20 dogs, each with its own kit. Pickles and Brutus are ready from the start; win matches to unlock the rest, one dog per match.
  • Tap one of three upgrade cards as you level, evolve a skill at level 4 and again at level 9.
  • Gear is bought for you. Your items fire on their own.

Play your way

  • Keyboard (WASD or arrow keys) or a controller.
  • A guided first match teaches the game in a few minutes.
  • Solo matches any time, online matches against other players, or a private room with friends.
  • Free to play. Start as a guest, no account required.
  • English and Portuguese (Brazil), with a voiced announcer in both.

AI Generated Content Disclosure

The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this:

Punk Dog Wars uses AI-assisted tools during development. Character, effect and environment art, the music, and the announcer and dog voices were generated with AI models and then selected, composited and edited by our team. The store art was made the same way. No content is generated while you play.
