    While the actual gameplay and combat is kind of fun, the story is lackluster, voice acting is bad, missions are simplistic and repetitive, and the game is extremely short. I would be much more forgiving of these shortcomings if the game had been $20, but it is absolutely not worth the $60 price tag attached to it. Either avoid this title, or wait for a deep sale.

    The problem with the game is that on the surface everything looks... OK. But just okay.

    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...    … Expand

    Graphics 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.    … Expand

    The game is not an AAA project. Its price is $ 5-8. Simple animations, primitive graphics, poor stealth. The game is just boring.

    Graphics worse than skyrim. Hilariously bad stealth gameplay. Stealth gameplay is the worst I've played in probably the last 10 years. Action gameplay part is meh and the controls suck. Sound track is okay but that doesn't get you much of a boost. This game isn't even a "must buy" for $20. I'd be on the fence for 10. returned.

    Outdated gameplay, dull animations, main character plot is plain and boring. The whole game is an absurdity. I won't to talk about the sneaking mechanics because it's a joke.
    This game has nothing to do with any hack & slash game from now to 10 years back.
    Try to avoid it

    A godsdamn Epig Store exclusive in which the story is linear and very little branching and the emphasis is on combat. For an RPG that is a very shallow game and review scores rightlfully reflect that.

    Seems like a money-grab by the Publisher and they covered their ass by making it a Epig Store exclusive and get paid by Ten Cents / Epig Games for that.

    The combat is absolutely atrocious, mission design is not creative nor does it seperate it from anything way older games haven't done already. The upgrade system doe not upgrade combat nor anything outside of combat, its such a waste. The AI slides on ice skates when i melee them. Tons of nps with the exact same character model. The story swears you know the lore from the last game. This is a 0.

    There's clearly potential, but the final product isn't worth it. The concept is neat, the graphics are decent and the story was somewhat interesting. However, the combat wasn't very fun. And the stealth gameplay is quite boring. It saddens me to say this, but this is potentially the worst game of the year.

    Ridiculous story, shallow gameplay and poor graphics don’t leave Werewolf: The Apocalypse – Earthblood any chance. The only imaginable reason to play it – is to remind yourself how bad and absurd games could get. [Issue#252, p.70]

    Werewolf: The Apocalypse – Earthblood is a low-budget effort with a cool looking blood effects, but not much else. So don't expect anything good from the visuals or the overall narrative.

    Cyanide Studios once again manage not to raise the bar. This is a deeply average game reminiscent of cheap B-movies, visually awful and mechanically obsolete. But massacring your enemies as a bloodthirsty werewolf is, not surprisingly, quite fun.
