    You're mad because you're bad. Even with the clunkiness pro's can quick scope you from across the map and you blame it on how 'bad' the game is. The game isn't terrible your ego is.

    This games concept is very good putting a twist on battle Royale Wich is an over used gaming genre now and is close to joining the zombie genre. Don't even think still has alot of work to be done but it will Neve become what it can be without more players. As of now the devs just released thier first patch so go and try it out critique it so it can become better.

    I like more this game than pubg, fortnite or apex, why? because its totally different, i not just run and kill, you have to survive to cold, you need food, and the best part, survive the lycans. 100000 points to this game.

    I won’t go to in depth past that as this games not really worth your time. Everything about the game mechanically wise is clunky, from movement all the way to gun play. It’s still unfinished meaning there’s still Chinese script on certain menus, PC key binds show in-game on PS4 (I’m not aware atm if this supports KBM) and the only way to invite your friends to a squad is having someone do a countdown to press triangle at the same time. 90% of the time two of you will be together while the 3rd is in another group (this also works with playing as a werewolf). The micro-transactions are the worst I’ve ever seen. ($40 CDN for bland punk pants, and the most expensive cosmetic, a werewolf skin is $200 and it’s just a brown variation of the rest with a scar across one of its eyes.)

    The game though is just so bad it can be good, which unfortunately stems from playing as an OP werewolf and annihilating anyone in your path.

    Skip on this for now.

The idea of Battle Royale Games with a twist isn't new, but the werewolf aspect is very intriguing. To say the least, this game would benefit from a smaller map 20 players, and 1 werewolf. The players objective isn't to kill the werewolf but it's to escape. But players will blindly kill each other for sheer sport.

    The werewolf requires a minimum of 3 players and a confined space. Sounds risky, but it's the only time I seen one taken down. Fighting a werewolf in the open field is a mistake. Playing as the werewolf is extremely fun except during the end game were the large map and a few players becomes a real needle in a haystack search.

    The game lacks a lot of quality of life additions like a better customization, better parachute controls, an actual friend invitation option, looting stuff with ease, etc. The shooting is very janky, and there have been many times where the sound was missing.

    Where perfect world truly fails is the pay system and skins. 100 bucks will get you 6,000 coins but that isn't enough for the top tier wolf skin. Meaning if you want the Red Blood Wolf Skin it's gonna cost you more then 100 bucks. Not even Fornite is guilty of selling more then 20 dollar skins.

    Play it for dumb fun, but don't get too attached because it won't last long.    … Expand

    As someone who is open for chinese games on the PS4, this one doesn't bring justice nor atleast a small positive image to the support on the console.

    The game looks like an unfinished early access rushjob. Encountered a few pop-ins here and there. The character models aren't really the most attractive as well. There are 6 preset characters (and no, you can't customize them): evil white guy, evil black guy, chibese playboy, smiling white woman, harley quinn, and normal black woman. It's funny because the male character that appears on the cover of the game doesn't appear in the game. Anyway, the game is a 24 player battle royale where it's 21 humans (all divided in teams of 3 though there's a good chance one of your teammates will die early on) and three werewolves). Funny thing about this is that the marketing never described the game as a battle royale nor was there a gameplay trailer. That's because even the devs know the game looks bad but were to scared to show it.

    Anyway, the controls are serviceable but the gunplay is very janky and many times it doesn't even hit. Once a guy tried to melee and no matter how many times I shot at him while aiming for his body, it barely did anything. What's worse is that the sound is all over the place. Sometimes there isn't even sound on **** it hard to know if you shot at the player or not. The gameplay is slow as well. Your character will jump through a window carefully and instead of collecting weapons by just aiming at them like in your typical battle royale, you have to open crates by holding square and pick up weapons by normally pressing square (X is to cancel). The pace is such a pain it just ruins a lot the momentum. Another thing taht sucks are the lack of team commands, meaning there's a 50/50 chance your teammates won't bother to cooperate and I blame that on the game's lack of social features for non-mic users.

    I do kinda like the idea of the game: for every minutes the sun will start to go down and night will soon arrive, increasing the temperature which will cause damage overtime. In order to prevent this, you either eat food (apples, bread, and ham) or light a fire. It's a good idea on paper but a bit too punishing in execution. While you're out there surviving, you have to collect data (there are three) so that the helicopter can arrive and gets you out of there. I appreciate for not trying to be like all battle royales but ever heard of the saying "just because you can, doesn't mean you should"? And the reason for that are the werewolves. They're fun to play as but are annoying to fight against since they are total damage sponges and can kill you in just 5 seconds. You can damage them heavily by using a pistol with silver bullets (you have to press triangle two times) but even then, they'll still manage to survive especially due to how wonky the aiming is. Trying to sruvive against these guys is pure luck. Even if you manage to surviving the entire night just in time the helicopter arrives, is only a matter a time the game will throw at you an error, making all your effort worthless. When it comes to annoyances, every once in a while my character will shoot by accident even after realoding, the menu when picking up loot will sometimes cancel automatically, and sometimes I'd zoom in with a weapon despite I never intended to. Other annoying things includes control your character while parachuting, your character stopping when checking the menus and map, not having the ability to drop weapons/items, and the tutorial description always popping up when starting a match. For a game announced last year, it really feels more dated than BRs like H1Z1. Oh, and did I mention howbadthe miceotransactions are? I'm not **** that one of the werewolf skins costs in total $100.

    I really wanted to givethis game a try, or at least give it a 5, but as it is? It's almost insulting for this to be a PS4 exclusive in a post-Sony's china support world. Even mobile BRs like Knives Out and Cyber Hunter were more enjoyable. The reason why I give this game a 4 and not lower is because of five things: 1)it's free, 2)werewolf is fun albeit OP, 3)killing enemy players is kinda fun when the aiming works (and when the werewolves aren't there to ruin the fun), 4)it has a platinum, and 5)it's not The Culling 2.

    Either way, I'm disappointed. This game falls into the category of chinese games with good ideas but weak execution. I highly doubt hardcore BRs enthusiasts would find enjoyment here unless they're hardcore masochists, just want to mess around with friends, or just want to make every player's match a living hell by playing as a werewolf. I played a lot of bad/mediocre chinese games on the PS4, such as Dying Reborn and Gene Rain, but I'd rather play those over this anyday. I'm still think there's a small glimmer of potential underneath the jank but until then? Don't Even Think about playing this game until they bother to improve the game.    … Expand

    Completely unplayable. Spent 3 minutes trying to shoot another guy also armed with a shotgun. We eventually just got bored and walked away. After about a 15-minute wait I was finally able to play as a werewolf only to find that there is a spot inside the houses where people can Crouch and not get hit by you.

    A terrible way of trying to combine two games. It is obvious that this game takes after the Battle Royale games, but it also tries to imitate Dead By Daylight. It is incredibly hard to win as a human, and incredibly easy to win as a werewolf. The game is terribly unbalanced and not worth anyone’s time

I'll start from the beginning. You start the game, excited to try a new twist on the Battle Royale genre. A movie plays that explains nothing. You then make a human character and choose human or werewolf. After choosing either side an intrusive window pops up when you find a que that explains the bars/meters, but little else. What it doesn't tell you is controls are totally different depending what side you pick. For humans controls were fairly standard, though with a VERY clunky loot system. For werewolves you'll be using face buttons, something I'd wished I'd known before finally being able to get in as a werewolf. You'll also notice significantly different matchmaking times, as werewolf is fairly fun, and that's what most go for. Another thing I've noticed is the map is about the same size as a 100 person Battle Royale map, yet with significantly less occupants. I have personally played games where I never saw another person, not even my own squad, which you cannot see on the game's map like in other BR titles. To sum it up... with some major overhauls it could be a great game, but as it stands now I cannot recommend the download.… Expand

    I think that the theme of the game is decent. It is a combination of a Battle Royale game and a asymmetric Horror game. However the controls are horrendous some of the worst controls of any game I have ever played. As well as not very intuitive character customization or even the inclusion of a level system, it is not a game I desire.
