The story aspect of the game is seen as having significant potential, with players expressing a desire for deeper single-player experiences, such as the ability to form and lead wolf packs, construct dens, and raise pups. While the quests are generally enjoyable, they can become time-locked, limiting progression and exploration. Overall, the narrative framework is intriguing but could benefit from more creative and engaging elements.
- “The quests are a lot of fun too!”
- “There are quests you do solo such as hunt a certain number of rabbits, use a specific skill a certain number of times, etc., to level up your wolf and allocate points into the four attributes: health, defense, attack, and speed.”
- “If you want to waste time and run around randomly, it's great! It's a really interesting idea with a lot of potential, especially in single-player mode. I feel the devs could think more outside the box with it, including maybe constructing your own wolf den, raising pups, and battling it out for a potential partner.”
- “Going through quests is okay but then you will get to a point when new quests are time locked.”
- “Gameplay consists of quests to kill x animals.”
- “There are quests you do solo such as hunt x many rabbits, use certain skill x number of times, etc. to level up your wolf and put points into the 4 attributes: health, defense, attack, speed.”
