More about Werewolf: The Apocalypse - Earthblood

Steam's global achievement data puts about 14 percent of players at this game's ending achievement. On an 8.1-hour game, the hours short of it still count in its price per hour. This site sampled 750 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 23 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written February 2022 to October 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 8 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 2,362 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 342 have a larger share. The typical game sits near 5 in 1,000, so the score docks it. 4 of the 23 refunded reviewers were past Valve's two-hour window when they wrote the review. Inside the two-hour refund window, 42 percent of the 335 reviews written there were positive, against 69 percent overall, and those are 23 percent of everything written about it.

It carries Valve's Deck Verified rating and runs 8.1 hours, about as long as a handheld game wants to be.

If you catch this on sale, it's a good bargain bin game that's worth its weight in fun. Just don't expect a lot. About 80% of the game can be boiled down to smashing baddies as a towering werehunk. The standard difficulty is your average beat 'em up and...

The edgy teenager version of me would have loved this game so much, screw it the current version does too, werewolfs rule! The game is janky, sometimes unintentionally campy and can get repetitive but as it is quite a short game it doesn't overstay its welcome, feels a lot like a short PS3 game, tremendously worth it for the low prices it can get on sales. Now get out there to be the big bad wolf and remind the Wyrm...

Combat gets boring after a while. AI are dumb so stealth is not interesting. Voice acting is not good. Lost interest in the story. I would not spend money on this game at all. Even if its on sale.
