    There may be two Acts remaining, but Lone Wolf: Blood on the Snow is already one of the best gamebook adventures on the market. Forge Reply has achieved the perfect balance of an old-school gamebook feel while breathing new-life into an otherwise aging genre. [Episode 5, June 2014]

    Half gamebook and half action RPG, Joe Dever's Lone Wolf is one adventure that fans of either genre will enjoy from start to finish.

    Joe Dever’s Lone Wolf it’s the perfect tribute to the gamebooks era. The story is compelling and full of different paths, the combat is fun and the “old book” aspect is very nice. A must have games for the 30-something and the RPG lovers.

    Joe Dever's Lone Wolf recovers all the charm of Lone Wolf books proposing it through a brilliant gameplay structure and an incredible visual design.

    A classic adventure story built on a solid table-top RPG framework.

    Lone Wolf - Blood on the Snow delivers a top quality experience, mixing some compelling narratives, a bunch of minigames based on the choices we make and a solid, visually stunning RPG combat system.

    Joe Dever's Lone Wolf is a beautiful gamebook experience, but is let down by repetitive combat and a spiritless story.

    When it comes to artdesign, setting and music this is the best Fighting Fantasy you can get for your tablet. The storytelling is not as good though.

    Joe Dever's Lone Wolf mixes Infinity Blade-ish combat with an interesting story, but is graphically demanding. Every menu is interactive, moves and demands computing power, what leads to long load times and crashes. Behind these problems hides an entertaining fighting game and an interesting story.

    The set-up is exhaustive, I'll give it that, but the breadth of the gameplay balanced against the length of the story causes it to feel like I've just played through a tiny sliver that was mercilessly sliced off a larger game with little regard for where it was cutting

    It starts off superbly, with the promise of a dark, mature fantasy tale wrapped up in an utterly stunning multimedia package, but once you get into the meat of the story it becomes little more than a succession of dull, often-annoying combat sequences.

    Though gamebook fans will appreciate the attempt to inject some life into the genre, Lone Wolf's ambitious but undercooked combat system proves more of an obstruction than an asset.
