Description

Howl is a turn-based tactical folktale set in medieval times. A sinister "howling plague" has ravaged the land, turning all who hear it into feral beasts. You play a deaf heroine plunging into danger in search of a cure. Plan up to six steps in advance to outmaneuver your opponents: wolfish creatures filled with hunger and rage. Various types of fiends are lurking in the shadows, each of them possessing different abilities and their own levels of vitality. So, you need to consider carefully the strategy that will bring them to their knees. Not only do you have your wits to rely on while plotting your attack, you also have an array of abilities at your disposal. As you slay more wolves, you acquire skills like Vault, Smoke Bomb, and Piercing Shot. Venture forth on your journey to upgrade your skills and unlock more Action Slots and Undo Round Points. As you plan your moves, you will also shape your own prophecy, composing a dynamic work of scripture as you fight. Howl's visuals are created through "living ink", a flowing art style that paints the story as you play. Carve your way through a dark, fairy-tale world made up of obscure yet magical places where you fight and write to rid the lands of the plague. Features • Foretell the actions of your enemies in tactical, turn-based combat. • Outsmart the different wolf species, from fast predators to enormous pack leaders. • Beautifully illustrated in a unique, living ink art style. • Unlock and upgrade new skills like Shadow Step, Exploding Shot, and more. • Save villagers from the claws – and howls – of the wolves. • Play through 60 levels over 4 chapters. • Plot your route on the world map to uncover new skills and secret paths.

  • Great game, BAD PORT. Not fully playable, wait for fix

    Ok the game itself is really fun, however it’s clear that they put little to no effort in porting this from PC. Sometimes, the UI element you need to touch, especially the arrow, is hidden by other UI elements such as the banner along the side. A sliver will be showing and if you try 1000 times you might be able to select the arrow. Otherwise, RIP. Also, the instructions tell you to hover over an element to find out something about it via tooltips. However, there is no hover on an iPad. So i can’t do that. I’ve tried tapping, long pressing, etc, but when a new enemy type appears I have to just guess what it does. Very lazy port. Please test your game prior to release.
  • Gorgeous on iPad, UI needs a tweak

    Love this absolutely beautiful story about hope in the face of overwhelming adversity, art style is so unique and well done 🥰 It’s a tough puzzle game but doesn’t punish you for making mistakes- it encourages you to try again. Working out a new section of a particularly tricky puzzle is so satisfying, I find myself more interested in trying something else than I am bummed I died. All that being said, the card system should be brought forward, over the UI, so it can be used when the level goes further off the screen. I love the captions but I hate that they also sometimes block the cards.
  • Great Game

    The game is great 👍 it has really nice gameplay with predictable enemies which is nice. The eerie story and the medieval art style comes together nicely.
  • Good - needs some UI improvement

    Really fun! I’m enjoying the challenges and the story. So far I’ve noticed one issue where I can’t select my arrow card if my character is on the left edge of the screen. The banner covers it up.
  • Woke rubbish

    You’re forced to play as a disabled female character. Something tells me she has creative pronounce as well. To top it off the female narrator’s broken English, whispering voice makes you want to throw the phone out the window. Pass and uninstalled.
  • Could use a few more UI tweaks

    Ready to buy the full game, but will wait for updates. Currently on “Fallow Fields” and can’t shoot an arrow on the very first turn, as the sidebar is covering the icon. The tutorial makes a lot more sense now that I’ve already figured everything out. This is on an iPad mini (5th generation), iPadOS 17.3.1

    El juego está muy muy bien, está bien hecho y tiene una estética preciosa, la forma de jugarlo me parece muy interesante, pero llega el momento en que ya no puedes jugar si no pagas, eso es lo único malo

    Unfortunately I couldn’t fully understand the game rules because it’s only available on english. Tried to complete several levels, but without proper understanding the rules I failed :(
