Death Howl

Note: A lot of my hours are locking my computer while the game is still on. Still, played this as much as I could for 2 weeks straight. I really enjoyed this game, as much as Inscryption. They mitigate sticking with one deck by having you go to different biomes where that region's card don't cost as much as those outside it. I do wish that there was more gameplay that had you being able to mix and match different biome cards. Still, 9/10 overall from me.

In case there's any doubt that games can be art.

Nice art style, interesting playstyles,, interesting theming Its a bit of a slow burn, I beat every enemy and it was a bit grindy - I didn't find it as difficult as others are saying [apart from the final area] but perhaps that has something to do with it The bosses are the highlight - more of them would be good Worth the buy for any card game/deckbuilder fans

Amazing game, 10/10

Every once in a while, something comes along that reminds you why you love card games, and Death Howl did exactly that for me. Every moment felt handcrafted. The atmosphere, art, music, and world all come together beautifully, and the deck building is some of the most satisfying I've played. Every new card felt meaningful, and experimenting with different builds was always rewarding. I ended up earning every achievement simply because I didn't want the journey to end. That's the highest compliment I can give a game. Thank you for creating something with so much heart. I truly hope this isn't the last game like this you've built something special, and I'd love to see this style of thoughtful, atmospheric deck-building continue. Highly recommended.

A great indie tactial deckbuilder game. Love the different cards how they function and the synergies. Also how each region plays differently. Love the enemies, you need to have a seperate ways in defeating them. Art style is very unique. Also love the bossess, changing your tactics and which cards you bring to the fight. Also don't forget the totems that changes your battles as well. Overall this is such a fun game for people who wants another Slay the Spire type game.

While I can recommend Death Howl on the merits of its challenging but rewarding deckbuilding and strategic gameplay alone, I feel that the biggest draw of this title, at least for me, is its story. I lost my brother in 2017, and when I first saw this game and tried out its demo, I immediately drew parallels between Ro's determination to bring back her son, Olvi, and the grief and similar sentiments of my own mother. I was emotionally moved by Ro's journey through the spirit realm. That's gotta be pretty difficult for a deckbuilder to pull off, I imagine. Especially for a game that can, at times, be punishing and unforgiving. But it works surprisingly well, with Ro's struggles acting as a vehicle, motivating you as the player to endure in order to help reunite her with Olvi. Ultimately, Death Howl resonated so strongly with me that its ending brought me to tears. Grief is a powerful emotion, one that can easily consume us if we let it. Death Howl's thoughtfulness and sincere regard for that in its story surprised me in the best way. It's because of that thoughtfulness that its impression will be a lasting one.
