- Lone Wolf has all the makings of a standard fantasy story made exciting by lovingly crafted visuals and nostalgic by a choose your own adventure format. But it doesn’t live up to its potential and misses out on small details that could massively improve the experience.
- Lone Wolf only gets better the further into the game you get. The writing is superb, from the terrific pacing of the story to the interactions between the characters you meet along the way. Spending half of your time reading text on a screen doesn’t sound like the most fun until you realize just how engaging the story is. It’s a shame that Joe Dever passed a little over a year ago as I would have loved to have seen more Lone Wolf titles on the Switch. Instead, I will continue to thoroughly enjoy his final game, and make sure to read the work he left behind.
- 8.0A unique combination of interactive fiction and involving RPG mechanics, Joe Dever's Lone Wolf is quite unlike anything else on the Switch eShop. Some occasionally fiddly controls betray the game's provenance, but those after a fresh adventure with a rich fantasy story will find a lot to like here.
- The blend of visual novel-esque storytelling combined with surprisingly deep RPG based combat result in an engaging and substantial fantasy adventure. A great execution of the old school choose your own adventure games and a perfect fit for the Switch.
- 7.0Joe Dever's Lone Wolf é uma proposta única no catálogo da Nintendo Switch, combinando elementos de literatura interactiva com mecânicas de combate de um JRPG. Com uma história interessante e uma longevidade satisfatória, perde por ter chegado à consola da Nintendo de forma passiva, não tirando partido das reais capacidades da Switch e mantendo as suas características demasiado presas à sua herança dos dispositivos móveis.
