Critic reviews
- Android Rundown8.0In some places, the game does feel a bit repetitive, especially the fight scenes. Shamefully, the stories had a bigger draw for me. The action scenes feel a bit formulaic, even if calling up a wolf to inflict damage is awesome. As far as gamebooks go, it’s hard not to put this one at the top of the pile, and also hard not to wish for more. It isn’t the cheapest game out there, but this just might the game to bring one home, or build a whole new one.
- Android Shock5.0Overall this is a good game with a thrilling storyline. However, the high price of €4.49 and the need for subsequent ‘parts’, ruins it for me. If you’re a fan of the books give this one a go. If not, well, I just don’t think it’s worth it.
- Gamezebo7.0This is only the first of a planned four acts so the narrative could very well pick up, but unless improvements are made to the combat as well – which is to say, cut it way back and perhaps even implement an easy mode for gamers who’d rather read the story than struggle with QTEs – it won’t make much difference. Joe Dever’s Lone Wolf comes so very close to success, and yet remains disappointingly far away.
- 148Apps8.0The game itself is pretty linear; players follow a map, and the story carries on until it just... concludes. It certainly feels like there’s something missing, which is a shame because Lone Wolf is such a work of art. That said, these flaws are not valid enough to dissuade players from trying Lone Wolf, as it is highly exceptional and unique in ways that would only be discovered by experiencing it first-hand.
- Pocket Gamer9.0Lone Wolf isn't a game you fire up while waiting in line at Starbucks. To get the most out of it, you need to treat it like a console game or a proper book - clear out an hour or so of your time, maybe grab a glass of wine, and allow yourself to fall into the story. The experience that you'll get in return will be well worth the investment.
