Werewolf: The Apocalypse - Earthblood is an adventure game where the player takes on the role of Cahal, a powerful werewolf who has chosen to go into exile. The game is played from a third-person perspective and contains strong language with violent and gory themes.

Naturally, as the game centers around werewolves, it would be easy to draw comparisons to a game like The Werewolf Hills. However, in terms of actual gameplay, Werewolf: The Apocalypse - Earthblood is closer to games like Thymesia.

Sneak or fight your way past enemies

As one would expect from a game called Werewolf: The Apocalypse - Earthblood, one of the central mechanics of the game is the ability to turn into a werewolf. As a werewolf, the player can savagely attack enemies and rip them to shreds. They can also turn back into regular wolves to sneak past enemies when the situation warrants it.

Strategy and survival

While the werewolf form of the player is powerful, the game meters its usage by limiting the player’s abilities. The player must have a sufficient amount of rage to use an ability, forcing them to be strategic about how they tackle problems. There are also some problems that require certain forms, such as switching to the human form to interact with items or people.

A fun but violent game

It should go without saying that the themes of violence and strong language make this game unsuitable for younger and more sensitive players. For others—especially fans of werewolf stories—it can be a fun action-adventure game that lets the player experience life as the fictional beast.
