I feel that the story wasn't fleshed out at all--even though the premise is really interesting. As a result, it's a bit repetitive, with no incentive to replay. Perhaps this becomes a prequel to a bigger game in tue future? There's something here, and worth supporting! ### 4/5 — Wow *2024-12-31* Cats are liquid made me liquid the original made me gas now this made me a howl ### 4/5 — Well made game! *2024-09-27* I’ve only played the demo, but from the dozen or so levels available for free the game has gorgeous art, soundtracks and fun gameplay ### 4/5 — 굿 *2024-08-12* 잼씀 ### 4/5 — Top *2024-06-17* Tolle Atmosphäre und interessante Rätselkämpfe, an denen man schön tüfteln kann. Schade das ich es schon durch habe ;) Verbesserungsvorschläge: Ich mag es nicht Englisch zu hören und Deutsch zu lesen. Eine Option die Sprache zu wählen wäre prima, dann hät ich es auf Englisch gestellt. Ansonsten hatte ich noch das Problem, am linken Bildschirmrand nicht schießen zu können, weil der Button unter der Lebens- bzw. Pfeilanzeige verschwand. War aber trotzdem jedes Level schaffbar. ### 4/5 — bug *2024-05-17* 最左侧的格子无法放技能，被页签挡住。。。。希望尽快更新修复 ### 4/5 — Good game *2024-04-15* Seems like a good and fun game however I don't like to spend money sadly can't continue after the first 10 ish levels **Developer response:** Olá, obrigado pelo teu comentário. Actualizámos o texto do produto de forma a refletir melhor que o Howl é gratuito nos primeiros níveis e tem de ser comprado para desbloquear o jogo completo :) ### 5/5 — Beautiful turn based strategy *2024-04-11* This is such a pretty game, and has great progression and playability. I think it’s the best I’ve played in a long time. ### 5/5 — Problema *2024-04-11* Muito bom, porém no Quarto Capítulo tem um problema na fase “Torre” onde eu não consigo completar a missão ### 5/5 — 好玩 *2024-04-08, version 1.2* 大概有五年沒有認真破玩一個遊戲了 真的很好玩 風格也很棒 ### 5/5 — Maravilhoso *2024-04-08* O jogo é simplesmente maravilhoso, trilha sonora, história, jogabilidade, uma pena que seja apenas uma prévia, a versão completa é paga, mas vale a pena pra quem tiver condições. ### 5/5 — Beautiful game! *2024-04-07, version 1.2* Interesting mechanics and reallu touching story. A little short for my taste but worth every cent! ### 4/5 — Excellent Game, As others say, some UI issues *2024-04-06, version 1.2* Picked up this game sometime last week and have been playing it quite frequently! Very enjoyable artistic style and strategy! Difficult enough for you to spend a little time planning and being creative while not being overly frustrating. The story doesnt especially grab me; I loved the different maps for the chapters, and really liked that you could demo the first few before paying to really get a taste of the game. That being said, as others have mentioned, the UI gets tricky to navigate when cards start covering each other up. I was able to make it through the game anyways, but not without some trial and error. All in all, I definitely think its worth the money and was a very enjoyable game! Im hoping to go back through and collect all the achievements. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Illisible *2025-09-21* 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) ### 1/5 — A 5 min intro review *2025-04-05* Gameplay not explained well enough. Needs improvement ### 1/5 — Could use a few more UI tweaks *2024-06-20, version 1.2* Gave them the benefit of the doubt based on the prompt response to a bug report and bought the full game, but no updates since. Unimpressed. ### 1/5 — Não gostei *2024-04-30* Nem sei dizer se isso é um jogo ### 1/5 — Pagamento *2024-03-29, version 1.2* Non è gratis…è a pagamento ### 1/5 — Woke rubbish *2024-03-25, version 1.2* You’re forced to play as a disabled female character. Something tells me she has creative pronounce as well. To top it off the female narrator’s broken English, whispering voice makes you want to throw the phone out the window. Pass and uninstalled. ### 2/5 — Female hero? *2025-08-03* 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 ### 2/5 — Great game, BAD PORT. Not fully playable, wait for fix *2024-04-06, version 1.2* Ok the game itself is really fun, however it’s clear that they put little to no effort in porting this from PC. Sometimes, the UI element you need to touch, especially the arrow, is hidden by other UI elements such as the banner along the side. A sliver will be showing and if you try 1000 times you might be able to select the arrow. Otherwise, RIP. Also, the instructions tell you to hover over an element to find out something about it via tooltips. However, there is no hover on an iPad. So i can’t do that. I’ve tried tapping, long pressing, etc, but when a new enemy type appears I have to just guess what it does. Very lazy port. Please test your game prior to release. ### 2/5 — UIが被る *2024-03-30* [1] 画面左端にいると矢のカードがターン数などのUIの下に隠れてしまって使用することができない？ [2] セリフが敵の上に被さって行動回数を見れなくなる [3] 少なくとも煙幕Lv2のカードを長押ししたときに正しく説明が表示されない ### 2/5 — bad saving *2024-03-28, version 1.2* this game is good but its saving never work，always need to play new start ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Absolutely beautiful! Just one small bug. *2026-06-07* 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). ### 5/5 — Beautiful! *2026-05-07, version 1.3* The art and music are amazing and I like their take on a turn based game ### 5/5 — Great game, worth it *2026-05-06, version 1.3* 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 ### 5/5 — Best puzzle game *2026-01-26* If you’re into puzzle games with a story, this is what you should try. ### 5/5 — I love this game! *2025-07-24* Gorgeous visuals. The gameplay is a good challenge with the tactics of trying to achieve the goals of each level. The fact that most of the levels require you to replay them a few times to complete it is nice, cause it’s unrealistic to get all the wolves and strangers while taking the least amount of turns. Also the voice acting and music are just perfect for the atmosphere in this game! I had to buy the full thing as soon as possible and don’t regret it <3 ### 5/5 — Incroyable ! *2025-03-25* Meilleur jeu EVER on attend une v2 😍😍 ### 5/5 — Just finished to demo and loved it *2025-02-22, version 1.2* I litterally only just finished the demo and im already in love with it. I also love how they let you teat out the game before you actually buy in and play the full version. Also, It is a pretty low price for such a hogh quality game. ### 5/5 — A wonderful challenge *2024-08-01, version 1.2* This game is gorgeous, the music is lovely, and the voice acting is on point. The only complaint I have is, like everyone else, that if you are on the leftmost column of the map you can’t shoot arrows because the card is covered by the UI. Well, that and I would like more of the game but I think it may be better at this length. ### 5/5 — Vietnamese *2024-06-22, version 1.2* Nếu có tiếng việ chắc chán sẽ có nhiều người yêu thích ### 5/5 — Magnifique *2024-04-24* Très bon jeu de stratégie --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
