Reception
[edit]Blood of the Werewolf received mostly mediocre review scores for the PC version[2] but its reception was generally favorable in the case of the later Xbox 360 version.[3] Cameron Woolsey of GameSpot gave it positive reviews and the scores of 7/10 for the PC original[4] and 8/10 for the improved XBLA release, calling it "a wildly entertaining 2D action platformer, as beautiful as it was punishing."[5] According to Joshua Vanderwall of The Escapist, "With a dash of Ghouls 'n Ghosts, a sprinkle of Mega Man, a pinch of Metroid, and a garnish of your favorite schlock horror tropes, Blood of the Werewolf is a brilliantly constructed homage to classic platforming."[6]
