Release Date: March 26, 2025
An RTS set during the alternative version of World War 2. In Grit and Valor: 1949 we control a squad of Allied mechs fighting the Axis forces on small maps. We can develop the mechs and their pilots. Our ultimate goal is to reach New to sabotage enemy HQ.
Grit and Valor: 1949 is a real-time strategy (RTS) with elements borrowed from the roguelike and tower defense genres. The game is set in a dieselpunk style and presents its own vision of World War 2, in which combat mechs dominate the battlefield. It was developed by the British company Milky Tea Studios, known for their work on the racing game Coffin Dodgers.
The game takes us to an alternative version of 1949, in which World War II is still ongoing. The Axis forces, with the core in the form of mechs, control Europe. Decimated units of the Allies are forced to retreat, but they do not lay down their arms and instead establish a resistance movement.
The fate of the conflict depends on the pilots at the controls of the captured machines - their task is to get to New and blow up the enemy's main communications center using an electromagnetic charge.
Grit and Valor: 1949 is a dynamic strategy in which we gradually move around the world map, playing each mission on small boards. The limited field of action means that battles take place at a fast pace. We are forced to constantly react to the movements of opponents.
The game gives us access to mechs that face similar machines, as well as armored vehicles, defensive turrets and infantry. Each unit has a different set of skills (including a jump that allows for quick position change) or arsenal (choices include artillery, machine guns or flamethrowers). To fully use the potential of each weapon, it is necessary to place the units tactically, including using the terrain to gain an advantage over the Axis forces. This task is be complicated by rivals who have a numerical advantage and regular reinforcements.
During the game we collect scrap, which allows us to upgrade individual elements of each mech. In this way, we can influence the weapons, armor, engine, legs or cockpit of the machines. This in turn translates into the speed and durability of units, as well as the effectiveness of fire from a high position, rapid fire or the chance to inflict critical damage. We also influence mech pilots by developing their special skills for the Valor points they receive.

Game Ratings for Grit and Valor: 1949 Video Game.
Checkpoint Gaming: 4 / 10 by Percy Ranson
Enjoyable enough to play for an hour or so, but Grit & Valor – 1949 quickly gave me the feeling of wishing I had the tools I needed to make responsive tactical decisions, and left me wanting to be offered choices that would lead me to different battleplans than the ones I started my runs with. In the end, providing giant robots just wasn't enough to win the day.
VDGMS: 7 / 10 by Darren Andrew
I’m an easy mark for a good alternate history game and I thoroughly enjoy a good roguelite. Grit and Valor 1949 perfectly finds itself in the middle of this Venn diagram, but what I didn’t expect was for it to reignite my nostalgia for classic RTS as it feels like a distilled version minus the hours spent base building and collecting resources. Essentially an all killer, no filler RTS. Instead, you are constantly in the middle of a very satisfying, wave based gameplay loop that emphasizes strong strategy and quick thinking. Unfortunately, it missing the addictive hook and run variation that the best roguelites offer.
ZTGD: 5 / 10 by Terrence Johnson
I ended up enjoying the real-time combat nature of the game even though I was expecting something turn-based. Mechs for me are always cool and some of these had a neat design but the inability to be able to target specific units feels like a huge miss. Grit and Valor isn’t a bad game necessarily it just doesn’t really feel like a good one either; it just doesn’t feel very interesting.
