Blood Of The Werewolf Is Ready for Halloween

By Thomas Winkley on October 22, 2013 in News Video Games

Midnight City and Scientifically proven announced today that their new platformer Blood of the Werewolf will be hitting Steam October 28. Along with this announcement came a bucket of screen shots as well as some concept art for the monsters being utilized. This title promises to mix classic monsters with 2d platforming at its finest. Without going too far I will say that the content looks like a more cartooned version of the Castlevania games that we gamers are so fond of.

BOTW focuses on Selena, a young wife and mother who also happens to be the last surviving werewolf. After her husband is murdered and her child is kidnapped she picks up her crossbow and fires up her vengeance engine. The game is also being touted as a “throwback to platformers of yesteryear making perseverence and a stalwart resolve necessary.

Blood of the Werewolf focuses on the precision, memorization and timing aspects of games that have taken the back seat for far too long. 

Blood of the Werewolf launches October 28 as a digital download on Steam for $9.99, and is heading to consoles Q1 of 2014. You can check out our gallery of screen shots below, and the full press release just after.
