Midnight City and Scientifically Proven’s Blood of the Werewolf howling on to Steam, October 28th.
Majesco Entertainment Company’s newest indie label, Midnight City, have announced that Blood of the Werewolf, a game developed by Scientifically Proven, will be tearing on to Steam on October 28th. The game is billed as a 2D platformer partnered with reimaged versions of some of horror’s classic creatures and monsters, including the titular werewolves.
Blood of the Werewolf will try and recapture some of the old-school platformer traits, rewarding perseverance and dedication in players. The game seeks to offer a difficult challenge to players that will keep them wanting to come back and try again and again. Midnight City have said that they are trying to put the ‘game’ back into video gaming, with rewards and challenges beyond that usually seen in video gaming currently. Precision and timing will be the buzz words of the game, with memorization of the controls, patterns and motions of the game necessary to really succeed.
The game puts the player in control of Selena, a woman who is at the same time one of the last remaining werewolves, and a wife and mother. When her husband is murdered and her children kidnapped, Selena takes possibly the coolest weapon, a crossbow, to try and reclaim her children and get her revenge. With ten exciting levels and five challenging boss battles, including a confrontation with the ultimate horror villain, Dracula, the game promises to provide the player with new spins on classic villains along the way.
Players fluctuate between utilising Selena’s crossbow and her werewolf form to switch between ranged and melee combat, with fully upgradable weapons and abilities to really reward the player for their successes. With a host of collectibles promised along the way, players can expect to be coming back to Blood of the Werewolf for a good while to come.
Blood of the Werewolf is to be released on Steam on October 28th for $9.99, before hitting consoles at some point between January and March 2014.
