    Werewolf: The Apocalypse- Earthblood may not be a game that’s going to gain widespread acclaim, but for fans of the World of Darkness franchise it’s great to finally have an outing that dives into the more wild side of things. If Werewolf: The Apocalypse is able to find its footing with Earthblood, then things can only go up from here. The old-school beat-em-up feel of the combat encounters steals the show, proving once again that some things don’t go out of style.

    Cyanide Studios have proven their mettle with previous games in the supernatural genre. Their previous efforts include Styx: Shards of Darkness and the Call of Cthulhu. Both games were well received. Earthblood is a solid effort that should get werewolf fans howling with glee.

    A joyful mix of stealth and action, the fun doesn't snag on the rough edges.

    Once you get into it, however, everything is just bad or at the very least meh.

    It's not really an RPG because nothing you do matters.
    It's not really a Stealth game because the stealth is so bad.
    The models would look good if this was a 2012 game. WIth the Werewolves being pretty good if not a little dated, but the humans being just bad. The combat is in and of its self not terrible but the controls are some o the least intuitive I've seen.

    A lot of people are saying that you should not compare this to a AAA game, but to be fair I don't compare anything to AAA games, not even most AAA games anymore. Even when considered as a "Small indie game" Which this is not, Cyanide is a professional game company after all. It's just not every good, it's not the worse thing I have seen, it just not good.

    The soundtrack is easily the best thing about the game...    … Full Review »

    Graphics look 10+ years old. Combat is flat and repetitive. Not even an RPG since nothing you say matters. The controls are not intuitive andGraphics look 10+ years old. Combat is flat and repetitive. Not even an RPG since nothing you say matters. The controls are not intuitive and are not customizable. The DLC and Champion content are a waste of money. This game could have been amazing with this IP but instead it was picked up by a lackluster developer with a lackluster vision.

    The game could have been any generic fighter game and they just slapped werewolf on it so it would actually sell. I wish I had read the reviews instead of just getting excited and buying it.    … Full Review »

    Game isnt in a broken state as it is perfectly playable.
