Lone Wolf: A Post Apocalyptic Beat-Em Up Role Playing Game. This action/adventure game lets a player use martial arts skills, weapons, and turn into a werewolf to fight their way through a world set in the aftermath of post nuclear devastation.
This game is considered to be a Beat-Em Up Role Playing Game, where you take control of a character and his special fighting abilities. Akin to the art of a comic book, it relies on 2D animation for the characters in a 3D environment to give it a new style to the games of today. It can be played as a single-player game or co-op with other players, in several modes of game play including a Story Mode and a multiplayer Fighting Mode. The game is currently playable on Windows, Mac, and Linux.
The focus of the game play combines the aspects of a beat-em up fighting action filled game with the character building and interaction of a role playing game. However, the character building is transparent, for the most part, allowing for players to play as they want and get better at what they do best. The world is non-linear and open for players to explore and discover its secrets and have encounters with the denizens of the world in the aftermath.
This game has a very retro-feel as it takes the player back to the days of the beat-em up arcade machines of the 1980’s and 1990’s, and shows how fun a platform styled action/adventure game was and can be today.
