    Pretty basic beat 'em up with bad stealth elements. The plot is straight forward and basic. It's an ok game, but not at the current price point. Recommend only for huge fans of old school Werewolf and avid beat 'em up players.

    Das Spiel ist jetzt kein AAA, das merkt man dem an. Trotz dessen hatte ich meinen Spaß, wieder einmal nicht in eine Open-World einzutauchen, sondern mal durch schlauchige Welten zu laufen und alles mit wem Werewolf zu Fleisch zu verarbeiten. Hatte das Spiel auch für 8 Euro NEU geschossen und somit war es das allemal wert.

    Werewolf the Apocalypse Earthblood
    The same thing from start to finish
    It’s the environment vs the oil companies, youre a werewolf on a rescue mission, first to rescue the earth, and then to rescue your daughter. This is a 6 hour long 3rd person stealth action game where you play as Cahal, basically the game is the same from start to finish, a mission starts in your little hub world,    Werewolf the Apocalypse Earthblood
    The same thing from start to finish
    It’s the environment vs the oil companies, youre a werewolf on a rescue mission, first to rescue the earth, and then to rescue your daughter.
    This is a 6 hour long 3rd person stealth action game where you play as Cahal, basically the game is the same from start to finish, a mission starts in your little hub world, from a forest, to a desert, you run to the marker on the map, sneak into the oil field, onceinside there are guards so you have the choice of stelathfully sneak around, take enemies down from behind, transform into a wolf for a speed and to squeeze into vents, or at the very least you can sneak around to sabotage the influx of guards, as if things go wrong youll instanty transform into a werewolf…
    At first being a werewolf feels amazing, you feel like you have god like power just tearing through enemies… and though there is a tiny skill tree here, there isn’t enough done in this combat to make earthblood any fun inside of its combat, youll find yourself trying your best to sneak through areas just so you don’t have to deal with what feels like an endless wave of spongey enemies… the basic enemies you kill in like one hit, but the large enemies and the enemeies with shields its just mashing and mashing until they are dead, making sure you take out the enemies with silver bullets as you cant regain that health during battles… thankfully sneaking around is satisfying, its fun to try and stealth your way through, though you aren’t given enough tools to make the charm of stealth even last, some areas stealth is just impossible, you cant take out every enemy in the game, youre given bolt that you can take out cameras with or head shot basic enmies, but even those you feel limited with what you can actually do, and in wolf form you can bark and hope you get the attention of the guard you want to move without giving away your position and forcing combat anyway.. as the enemy ai here just annoyingly hovers around your area and refuse to move if youre seen even a little bit, so a lot of the times after reading the room, to save time and effort I would just instantly go into werewolf form….
    And ultimately the story here isn’t intriguing enough to want to pull you through its 6 hour run time… pretty lame boss battles, repetitive mission structure and even repetive environments and locations, the game looks and feels the same from start to finish, it never wows you with cool areas or levels.. its all the same… thankfully earthblood does have its moments of okay, this is pretty fun, it does feel great instantly switching into a wolf to sneak by enemies and take them out, but that fun if dampened by the spongey button mashy unfun combat..
    I give Werwolf the Apocalypse Earthblood

    Rating a 6 because I got it on sale on the PlayStation Store for only $12 for the PS5 version. It definitely is rough around the edges and is reminiscent of the graphical style of “Knights of the Old Republic” (to give you some perspective what to expect with this version) when it comes to the hub world and the way people talk.

It definitely is rough around the edges and is reminiscent of the graphical style of “Knights of the Old Republic” (to give you some perspective what to expect with this version) when it comes to the hub world and the way people talk.

    This is a game that I wouldn’t feel comfortable spending $20 or more on, however I had wanted to try it for a while now as it had piqued my interest and it definitely has an element of fun with it.

    It would have been nice if the developers had simply used the lore of the tabletop game as a foundation or reference and then built upon it. It just seems too “constructed”, as if the lore were a book and they needed to make sure each and every page was done for the game. Obviously they don’t do that with movies, so it doesn’t work that well here.

    Overall, not bad for around $10 but I would not spend any more on this title. It could have used at least another year or two in the oven so to speak, to tack on some much needed quality (textures, buildings, people, story etc.) to be considered “ready”.    … Expand

    من الآخر:

    1- اللعبة مقبولة ولكنها ما تعطي الإثارة الفعلية للاعب في وقت القتال الا وإن الإثارة/الحماس هو أهم شي في هذا النظام من الألعاب.

    2- نظام ال RPG باللعبة كان جدا بسيط ومبدئي، التصوير كان فيه الكثير من العيوب بالإضافة إن الأشكال ما تواكب ألعاب العصر الحالي والموسيقى ما كانت متوازنة.

    3- شخصيا واجهت قلشات مختلفة باللعبة وبسبب أحدها إضطريت أعيد مهمة كاملة من البداية!

    4- اللعبة ممكن تعجب محبين Word of Darkness.    … Expand

    Werewolf: The Apocalypse – Earthblood won’t be remembered for long and that’s fine – by the time I got to writing this summary, I couldn’t really remember it, either. It’s not terrible and I can see some great ideas just begging for a bigger budget. The stealth is poor but has potential, and the combat is simple, samey Prototype-esque fun that could have been more. The story and the presentation are the real let-downs here and you’d be better served throwing on some thrash-metal and muting the game while you play.

    Not much more can be said about Werewolf: The Apocalypse: Earthblood, a good idea that deserved a lot more time and money invested in it. There's a "low-cost feel" in the models, text, dated textures and even how the levels' design is structured in biomes to give an idea of navigation, even though everything is essentially happening in the same place. These feelings were even more contrasting when I reminded myself that I was playing the game on a new generation console. It's worth it for the fantasy it explores, the possibility of shapeshifting from wolf to Werewolf, an enthralling creature that gaming has neglected for far too long.

    I did have some nuggets of fun with Werewolf: The Apocalypse – Earthblood, but there's too much I can't ignore to recommend it to anyone, especially with the dawn of next-gen systems and titles that execute their concepts much better and simply look like what current games should be.
