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.

Plot

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.

TheGamer: 4 / 5 by Matt Arnold

Grit & Valor is, in many ways, exactly what I look for in a roguelike - individual runs aren’t too long, so it’s easy to squeeze in a game or two when time is tight, but there’s plenty of incentive for multi-run marathons as well.

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.
