Hi I'm looking for games with werewolves as main characters, I found a few already but it doesn't hurt to ask around here.
I've been looking for some time now, I got the idea of making a compilation of unknown werewolf themed videogames and review them in my blog because I think it would be cool to share something like that, even if the games are not that great, since it seems like werewolves hardly ever are main characters. In videogames they are usually enemies, minor or bonus characters as far as I know.
So what I'm asking is if you can recommend me any videogame you know or heard of that develops it's story around a main character that is a werewolf.
I asked before but I mostly got references to fighting games with one selectable werewolf or MMORPGs, like Darkstalkers or Bitefight for example. Which is not what I'm looking for.
I'll leave a list with the games I found so far in case there's anyone else looking for something like that.
Inner Worlds for DOS
The Beast Within: A Gabriel Knight Mystery for DOS
Wolfsbane for DOS
Werewolf: The last warrior for NES
Wolfchild for Super Nintendo
Terror T.R.A.X.: Track of the Werewolf for Browsers
Altered Beast for Sega Genesis
Project Altered Beast for PS2
and there's a few more listed on MobyGames (http://www.mobygames.com/game-group/theme-werewolves)
-
Castlevania: Legacy of Darkness.
-
Yes thanks, I took that one for granted and forgot to put it in the list.
-
Last time I checked Bloody Roar. Hugo
-
Well it's not a selectable character, but the werewolf in Rondo had enough sprites and move sets he could almost be a playable character.
Not really a werewolf per se cuz he was never a human, but Rizar or whatever his name was, the mutated wolf pup from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (I think he was in Hyperstone Heist, too).

Found this by coincidence at Unseen64, it's a cancelled game called Werewolf the Apocalypse. It had potential, I mean the prototype looks kind of dull but, well it's a prototype.
Sega Saturn: Werewolf the Apocalypse (Unreleased prototype!) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ogyeHh0htKM#)
The character and some enemies remind me a bit at Blood Omen.

Seiken Densetsu 3

you can be a ww in skyrim

Operation Darkness if you like strategy games.

The Shining Force games are kinda known for having werewolves/wolfmen as recruitable characters, like Zylo for instance. He appears in both SF1 and 2. I think they're called wolflings though. Maybe that doesn't cut it...

You hunt down members of the family who cursed you, and can pick things up to help you. It features a nice day/night feature too...
You can read more about it on my blog, but as this is my first post on the forum I don't want to post a direct link to that...just google my username! It's number 92 in my list of 100 gruesome games for Halloween! ;)

This topic lacks Valkenhayn
Also his theme is off the hook
