Step into the shadows of a medieval world ravaged by the “howling plague”. This mysterious curse transforms its victims into feral, wolf-like beasts, spreading chaos and despair across the once peaceful countryside. In “Howl”, a turn-based tactical folktale, you become a deaf heroine – a unique strength amidst the auditory assault of the plague. Driven by a desire to find a cure and perhaps uncover the fate of a lost loved one, you embark on a quest of both strategy and sacrifice.
Turn-Based Tactics in a World of Ink and Fury
“Howl” embraces the essence of the turn-based genre, demanding calculated moves and foresight. Plan up to six steps ahead, anticipating the bloodlust of your lupine foes. Each wolfish creature presents unique challenges – from lightning-fast stalkers to imposing pack leaders – requiring you to adjust your strategy with every encounter.
But you’re not just a helpless victim. As you strike down your foes, you’ll unlock a potent arsenal of abilities. Vault over obstacles, vanish in a Smoke Bomb, or land a deadly Piercing Shot – the choices for tactical supremacy evolve with your victories. Upgrade these skills, increase your Action Slots, and gain Undo Round Points to master the flow of combat.
Ink, Prophecy, and a Fight for Survival
With every move you plan and every beast you defeat, you weave a dynamic tapestry – your own prophecy unfolding before your eyes. “Howl” features a striking “living ink” art style that transforms the world as you play, immersing you in a dark and captivating fairy tale. Explore haunting forests, shadowed ruins, and more – each location a battleground where strategy and legend converge.
