Played the demo and wasn't impressed. Glad the devs actually listened to the community and fixed the stuff everyone was complaining about. It feels super solid now. The Werewolf's story hits right in the feels, and the hopeless vibe is spot on. Can't wait for the full release.
Thought it’d be a tedious 2D Dark Souls clone where you die to every single bush. Turns out it's way more accessible (still had to sweat a bit though). The story is easy to follow. As someone who usually hates this genre, it really clicked for me.
Found this in the demos section. Back then it felt kinda short, but you could see the potential. The devs went all out for the full release. The combat has way more depth now, and they added a ton of cool goodies. Totally worth the buy.
Been following the development for two years. Met my expectations 100%. Hyped for the next part of the story.
Never heard of this game before, but saw a stream and decided to give it a shot. Zero regrets. It keeps you on the edge of your seat and just doesn't let go.
The map is massive! Love it when a game doesn't hold your hand. They packed it with secrets just like they should. Progression feels amazing—dashed through areas in werewolf form and found a ton of hidden spots. A true metroidvania.
Absolute steal for the price. Boss movesets are readable, but attack windows are microscopic and the parry window is tight af. It’s a single-player game, but you still gotta nail those timings perfectly lol. Blasphemous fans will absolutely love this. Highly recommend.

мда... зашел в волколака после replaced, думал значтца в солсулайкушку, да в родимую, там где графика,то не главное. Где сюжет родной, да где бой лихой. Где гласит Сергей тот что Пономарь, где куёт Чихач... не дошел я... жаль. ну а серьёзно как то запустил и так сразу в это играть не захотелось, даже любимые голоса в озвучке не воодушевили.
Grabbed it on sale just to kill an evening. Thought it'd be another half-baked indie, but I'm still hooked. The visuals are nice, even if dark, and the story hooks you. As a casual casual who just wants to chill after a shift, it’s kinda brutal, but super addictive.
