As advertised the art is very appealing, with it's own very distinct style not often seen. It's title screens and characters (with the exception of our heroine) are all classic monsters with classic tropes. The opening of stages even have titles reminiscent to classic horror movies. I found this stuff goofy and appealing.The plot is pretty straightforward and predictable, and the background info (that you can find in the extras menu) can make the whole story seem a little bit too serious for it's own good. I can respect Scientifically Proven's want to build up an epic tale about a clash between horror creatures, but it can take away from the whole story (especially since the big bad monsters go down way too easy.)Now the gameplay... I would be lying to you if I told you I was expecting this game to play the way it did. Please note I was using a controller the whole time.The game sets you up nicely, with interesting transitions between human and werewolf as you platform through a couple of hard jumps here and there and some pretty straightforward combat between weak enemies. After the first couple of levels the game shifts from gear one to five. The jumps become perilous, the enemies become obsticals and there are a million ways to die. And while the game is punishing, it sets up checkpoints nicely and only penalizes you for time when you die (and you will die.) The camerawork can be a bit of a problem, especially when transforming, when the camera will zoom in on your giant wolf body as you jump again into a pit of spikes.When I finished the game, I was just about ready to close up shop for this game, but forlaughs I decided to try get S-rank on level one. This is where the game truly shines. The replaying of the game (giving you level select and letting you keep your collectables) is a lot of fun. While still very diffucult, you begin to see the game differently, you realize how fair it was being to you, and how to clean up your mistakes. Next thing I knew I wanted to see my name climb higher and higher on the leaderboards. The game hooked me in for another playthrough.At seven dollars you can get a lot out of this game. If you don't want to get frustrated at a game I wouldn't recommed it, but if you put some time in it you may find yourself enjoying this game quite a bit. A great game for an indie developer, I am looking forward to their next project.. My two main gripes with this game are:1) The sometimes insane difficulty level. Sure, the game autosaves pretty often, but replaying the same stretch of a level 20 to 30 times gets real old real fast.2) The very platformy feel of the game. It really feels like someone just put together some of the levels to make a difficult challenge. That's okay in Super Mario, but in this game I feel it ruins the thematic aspects of the game.. after a promising start sadly the game became anti-fun and for those reasons- terrible terrible level design and some trial and error sections that you have to die then replay the whole section cause the check-point was far behind- loose controls, when a platformer game requires from you precise timing and a lot of jumping that a single mistake could drop you down a lot, the least they could do is make the control tight,they should learn from games like super meat boy- boss battles are very easy, predictable and boring, it takes ages to finish due to the boss's longhealth bar while repeating the same easy to avoid attacksdo yourself a favor and buy other action-platformer games like Guacamelee or Dust and enjoy your time instead of this terrible game. Decent little platformer with nice level design. Completing the levels themselves will likely take a couple hours and the game does have leaderboards for speedrunning, as well as offers a point collection mode, and an endless mode both of which will test your ability to complete levels efficiently.Overall though I have enjoyed playing it and trying to get better times and scores. The levels definitely become challenging towards the end, though usually by using spikes that insta kill you and having enemies knock you into them which can get frustrating.. I can't find anything I don't like about this game so far. It's challenging. But, it stops just short of unreasonable difficulty. It has those sections and those moments where you feel like you have been presented an impossible task. But, then you pass that part and it leaves you high on elation and a little bit of relief. It has a good number of cutscences and transitional screens. But, none of it feels intrusive. The narration make me care about the action. The story is just interesting enough to make me really want to get to the next cut scene. So, that I get that tid-bit more of the over arching tale. The art style, music, and sound effects are nicely done. The auto save\/checkpoints are positioned in good places. It has a significant amount of character upgrading along the way without feeling flooded with power ups. It absolutely nails perfection through repetition gameplay. Where you can feel yourself getting better in sections, and stringing things you figured out together into a flow. It foreshadows itself a lot. Each new problem is preping you for more complex things to come. This is the kind of game that wrecks you in a good way. If you feel like platformers have not been quite right in a while. If you want to remember what it's like to have controller shaped claws for hands and sore thumbs (and feel like it was tottally worth it). If you want an experience that will give you a reason to get those calouses back. That will make you say "One more try..." 10 times after you first started saying it...Get This Game. Becuase this = Doing hard core right.. I really wanted to like this game. The art is neat, the game is very reactive, it has a Castlevania vibe, but... most of the platforming parts are horrendous. They involve rushing through a large area with flames\/projectiles\/compressors that all activate quickly one after another. The reason it is bad is that when you lose you do not feel like you lack skill and made a mistake, but that you did not learn by heart the precise path forced onto you by the game. So you need to start over and try again and again long and annoying parts of the level (checkpoints can be quite far in these areas).Some other areas require dodging between projectiles and opponents (that shoot projectiles or behave like projectiles) in a very precise manner, but every hit has a knockback effect, pushing the character away from her trajectory. And to make things worse, there is lava or spikes that prevent from having safe spots in between. Both of these game design decisions make the platforming parts all the more punishing. It does not feel good at all, despite me liking hardcore platformers. It's not just challenging difficulty that I like in platformers, but good design, which I did not find here.The levels are very linear. Some people like that, some people don't.What I liked most in this game were the boss fights. They play well and rely more on skill than the rest of the game, even though they are thankfully not too difficult.. 4\/5If you like the genre, pick this game up for under 2 dollars, it\u2019s worth it. Blood of the Werewolf is a great side-scroll platformer. You play as the mother of the last werewolf, and will transform between human and werewolf form as needed throughout the game. As you try your best to track down your kidnapped child, you are confronted with all sorts of classic macabre cameos. The game is full of difficult enemies and pitfalls; but you have an infinite number of lives and the game saves after every room... Yes... after every room. So even if you aren't patient enough to play through a difficult part of the game, you can load your save up at a later date and start exactly where you left off, with an infinite number of attempts to beat the game. A controller helps A LOT! ...but I was able to clear most of the game without one. Like I mentioned earlier, you have an infinite number of attempts to get through each room.The sound quality was good on my stereo, and the sound track\/voice acting does help to bring you into the game. Although the story is a little dry, it was entertaining. I felt like I was playing a classic side-scroller with much nicer graphics and sound.. First half: Okay-ish hard but fair platforming action.The rest of the game: Unfair and horrible level design (Time limiting crumbling platforms AND having to waiting for wind hazards to disappear? Really?)The crossbow combat seems out of place (Contrary to the introductory message, aiming with mouse is better than with an analog stick), and there seems to be an input delay for jumps as well.Boss fights and the soundtrack are okay I guess.There are better precision platformers out there, and this does not even compare.. If you love 2D platformers and a challenge with decent storyline, I recommend playing this game. There are some difficult levels where you will die multiple times but you eventually get the hang of it. Battle is pretty straightforward and boss battles are pretty easy once you know their attack pattern. Overall, a pretty awesome game XD. I bought this game when it was on sale for 99 cents. For providing me with 5 hours of entertainment, i would say it definitely paid for itself. This is a simple no-stress pick-up-and-kill-some-time game that i'm glad i bought. Recommended for the right price.
