    I've read a lot of the Lone Wolf books and also recently re-read them online and I have to say that this game doesn't really add anything I personally felt any need for. That being said, it's not a bad game/book. The fact that you're way more limited in which abilities you can get, for example either this one or that one, compared to picking freely in the original series actually annoyedI've read a lot of the Lone Wolf books and also recently re-read them online and I have to say that this game doesn't really add anything I personally felt any need for. That being said, it's not a bad game/book. The fact that you're way more limited in which abilities you can get, for example either this one or that one, compared to picking freely in the original series actually annoyed me a lot. While I understand why they designed it that way, it still doesn't make sense why they chose to simplify it so that it was a necessary limitation. I've played the whole series with "my character" and evolving him, and this game even prevents me from making something similar, which is making sure that it really isn't a Lone Wolf novel in my opinion. It's a fairly cheap knock off and it can really only be considered on par with the first Lone Wolf novel, which is by far the weakest of the original series. It's still worth playing, though.… Expand

    There is potential in this genre and in this gameplay style, but the end result for this game isn't satisfying. The story is pretty boring and unoriginal, combat is repetitive and straightforward, the characters are shallow, generic, too much heroism and teenage, the enemies are pretty generic copy cats of goblins and orcs and liches under different names, too focused on combat and lootingThere is potential in this genre and in this gameplay style, but the end result for this game isn't satisfying. The story is pretty boring and unoriginal, combat is repetitive and straightforward, the characters are shallow, generic, too much heroism and teenage, the enemies are pretty generic copy cats of goblins and orcs and liches under different names, too focused on combat and looting but not enough dialogues. The graphics are ok and the hand drawn art work are fine, the interface is a bir slow and clunky but the design look good. It needs lots of polish and a much better story.… Expand

    Lone Wolf is more than just a computer adaptation of popular gamebooks – it’s actually a real RPG with character development, crafting and looting, just with tons of text. [02/2015, p.62]

    If you've missed the "Create your own Adventure" books of the 1980s, then you should definitely give Joe Dever's Lone Wolf a try.

    It’s still a good funny game but you can feel the absence of touch controls.
