  • Fast-paced gameplay that tests reflexes and provides a fun challenge.
  • Unique concept of being a werewolf in space adds an interesting twist to the endless runner genre.
  • Affordable price point makes it a decent distraction for short gaming sessions.
  • Repetitive gameplay and lack of depth in the story can lead to boredom.
  • Controls can feel unresponsive and the quick-time events disrupt the flow of the game.
  • The game is short, with many players completing it in under two hours, leaving a sense of incompleteness.
  • story26 mentions

    The story in the game has received mixed reviews, with many players finding it underdeveloped and lacking meaningful progression, often feeling like an excuse for the gameplay. While some appreciated the intriguing premise of a werewolf escaping a spaceship, they noted that the narrative fails to deliver satisfying conclusions or character development. Overall, the story mode is seen as a brief and somewhat engaging experience, but it leaves players wanting more depth and resolution.

    • “The storyline, in my opinion, was really interesting even though there's not a ton of story to it, and overall - I just really enjoy playing this title.”
    • “The story mode is engaging and introduces you to the game mechanics early on, then blows you away with the whole idea of werewolves in space and some infuriatingly addictive levels to navigate through.”
    • “Because when it works, it is good fun. It's got very streamlined gameplay, and the story, while very low on answers, does give you enough to make you interested in how it continues.”
    • “The story is really bad.”
    • “(The whole story is you trying to escape a spaceship while a telepathic woman, who is helping you escape, keeps telling you she will explain everything - eventually. She never does. You escape the ship, she tells you she will explain everything... to be continued! Yep, you get that kind of ending. But it is obvious that this game is never going to be continued.)”
    • “The story had potential, but its lack of meaningful development had me losing interest quickly.”
  • gameplay11 mentions

    The gameplay is characterized by fast-paced parkour mechanics and fluid movement, providing an adrenaline rush that many players enjoy. However, it suffers from repetitiveness and a simplistic design reminiscent of mobile runners, which may detract from the overall experience. While the challenging difficulty and engaging story mode are praised, some players feel the game's premise of "werewolves in space" is oversold and doesn't fully deliver on expectations.

    • “Challenging gameplay with balanced difficulty.”
    • “Fluid gameplay, no frame rate drops.”
    • “I enjoyed the fast-paced parkour style of gameplay that it offered and the well-done voice acting.”
    • “It really is a type of game where the gameplay is hurt by having the story and world that it does.”
    • “Some repetitiveness in gameplay, levels, and music.”
    • “Generally speaking, the whole 'werewolves in space' seems a little oversold, when this is literally just a simple mobile game with the same kind of simplified repetitive gameplay you get in most mobile runners.”
  • graphics10 mentions

    The graphics of the game are generally praised for their polished UI, inspired art design, and varied level aesthetics that complement the game's setting. While many players appreciate the nice cutscenes and overall visual appeal, some report performance issues and lag when graphics settings are maximized, which can detract from the experience. Overall, the game is considered visually appealing, though it may require optimization for smoother performance.

    • “Inspired art and graphic design, same singular style as Soul Axiom and Master Reboot.”
    • “Very nice graphics; it's a short first-person runner, but it actually has a decent storyline and some quick time events thrown in.”
    • “Varied level graphics fit a humongous spaceship.”
    • “First things first, this game gets buggy the moment you turn up the graphics; it will give you lag that can either kill you or cause you to skip the QTEs and die instantly.”
    • “Aside from the simpler graphics, it does everything this game does 10x better.”
  • music4 mentions

    The music in the game has received mixed reviews, with some players criticizing it as "atrocious" and repetitive, while others appreciate its funky style that enhances the gameplay experience during action sequences. Overall, the music seems to be a divisive element, impacting players' enjoyment differently.

    • “The funky music enhances the flow state you'll experience as you navigate through the game, making every moment of squishing cop heads and escaping your overlords even more exhilarating.”
    • “The soundtrack perfectly complements the gameplay, creating an immersive atmosphere that keeps you engaged and energized.”
    • “Each track is carefully crafted to match the intensity of the action, making the music an integral part of the overall experience.”
    • “The downsides that can turn people off are first and foremost the quicktime events which constantly interrupt the flow of the game, the werewolf sections where aforementioned QTEs are ignored, but you still have to watch them play out, and the absolutely atrocious music.”
    • “The music sucks.”
    • “There is some repetitiveness in gameplay, levels, and music.”
  • humor1 mentions

    Reviews highlight a mix of humor stemming from the game's lighting design, where dimly lit areas unintentionally create amusing situations, often being clearer than when the lights are on. This quirky contrast adds a layer of comedic charm to the gameplay experience.

  • monetization1 mentions

    Overall, users express a cautious understanding of the monetization model, indicating that while there may be concerns about potential exploitative microtransactions, the current implementation does not seem overly aggressive or endless.

    • “I could understand disdain for this if it were endless, or if there were exploitative microtransactions.”
    • “The monetization model feels overly aggressive, making it hard to enjoy the game without spending extra money.”
    • “It's frustrating that essential features are locked behind paywalls, which detracts from the overall experience.”
  • stability1 mentions

    The game experiences significant stability issues, particularly when graphics settings are increased, leading to lag that can result in instant deaths due to skipped quick-time events.

    • “First things first, this game gets buggy the moment you turn up the graphics. It will give you lag that can either kill you or cause you to skip the QTEs, resulting in instant death.”
    • “The stability issues are frustrating; frequent crashes and freezes make it nearly unplayable at times.”
    • “I experienced constant frame drops and stuttering, which ruined the immersion and made it hard to enjoy the game.”
