Wolfchild for Genesis


Image: MobyGames

Wolfchild

Altered Beast 2


Genre: action - punch n kick

Publisher: JVC Musical Industries

Year: 1993

System: Genesis


Gameplay Score: 4

Gameplay Notes:

You have two forms - a puny human and a werewolf. The human has only a weak punch but the wolf has a projectile attack. Gotta keep from getting hit so you can keep the wolf, ala Zelda or Altered Beast. Controls are very responsive although your jump is way too short. Movement feels good aside from the short jump. Lots of promise Would really benefit from a password system. Enemies have hit boxes but only hurt you when they attack. Love this.


Level Design Score: 3

Level Design Notes:

Linear with some boring level design. Actually it's not terrible but there are a ton of cheap hits and corridors with short ceilings.


Theme Score: 3

Theme Notes:

Pretty dorky title. Wolf Child? Uhh Ultimately it's just you killing bird alien guys.


Art Style Score: 4

Art Style Notes:

Impressive graphics throughout. Sprites look great. Backgrounds have a ton of parallax scrolling and interesting artwork. Artwork isn't terribly detailed but again everything looks nice.


Audio Score: 4

Audio Notes:

Love the music and sound effects are nice as well. Not memorable but good sound


Overall Score: 74

Review ID: 1396
