What's New in Howl

1.3

March 13, 2025

Heart of Rot – Free Update Chapter Embark on this side-story to the Capital, a city that long stood as a bastion of hope in a world overrun by howling beasts. The Prophet has heard rumors that the alchemists there have found a cure for the Howl. When she arrives, she finds a city consumed by rot ... Access to this update is FREE for anyone who has bought the Howl base game. You can access this update chapter from the Chapter 3 map at any point after reaching Chapter 3 of the main story. Heart of Rot follows its own storyline, and can be completed either before or after the main Howl story. This update features its own chapter map, new enemies, a new boss level, new environment mechanics, the new Lightning Shot skill (which, once unlocked, can be used in the main game!), and an NPC who fights by your side in later levels.

Absolutely beautiful! Just one small bug.

I use the exploding arrow as a last action in level fallow field, but it keeps lagging, and nothing happens. The idle animations of the characters are still moving but the game just pauses (if that makes sense).

Beautiful!

The art and music are amazing and I like their take on a turn based game

Great game, worth it

Very nice game, it’s definitely a little complex but I enjoy finding new solutions to each problem. It would be nice if you could move the text bubbles since sometimes they get in my way but that’s all, I would buy again for sure

Illisible

J’en ai marre des applications conçue pour tablette ou mégas téléphone…
Merci d’adapter les textes pour les petits téléphones ( encore très très nombreux)

Female hero?

Yeah I can’t get into a game where my character is perpetually called ‘her’, at least let me change to a guy. Also, the combat is flawed. This whole ‘npc reactive’ thing is garbage, they forever have the upper hand as they just sit there till I’m close enough and they attack me. No chance to shoot arrows, no chance for spell, just straight ambushed every time. Unfortunately, uninstalled and with such a huge array of apps available, I won’t be back
