Dog Sled Saga

[Kelvin]

Usually I just pass racing games by, but one day I discovered Dog Sled Saga. Instead of driving a car around a track, here you drive a team of three or more dogs in a straight line. Hey, I can do that.

My favorite part of D.S.S is managing my team. Each dog has a fault, favorite thing and an ability that you learn by racing with him or her in harness. Placing a dog in the same position (middle, wheel or lead) several races in a row leads to an aptitude for that position.

I said you drive the team, but actually they move forward automatically. Your job during a race is to keep the lines from tangling, jump over obstacles and feed your dogs when they start flagging. (How do you feed them in mid-course? You toss biscuits to them- a fun if unrealistic mechanic.)

You can get Dog Sled Saga from Steam: http://store.steampowered.com/app/286240/Dog_Sled_Saga/ for $8 (what is it with retailers and 99 cents anyway? Call it $8 already.) Ahem. If you're the kind of gamer who likes management but not grand strategy, or thought they'd never be good at racing, this may be the title for you.

This looks interesting, I'll have to check it out some time.

It is a good game, and its kinda addicting! I backed it on Kickstarter and I've been able to watch it grow.

I've checked out and played the game. It's really nice. I recommend it for dog lovers.
