Transform into a wolf to battle terrorists across five areas and avenge your family.

About Wolfchild

Wolfchild is a game where the player controls Saul Morrow, who seeks revenge after his family is killed by a terrorist group called CHIMERA. The antagonists have also kidnapped his father, a scientist specializing in hybrid creatures.

Saul utilizes his father's research to transform into a wolf-like being. This transformation is tied to collecting power-ups, which also grant a psychic shot attack that can be enhanced. The gameplay involves moving through five distinct areas to confront the leader, Karl Draxx.

If Saul sustains damage, he reverts to human form and can only use his fists for defense, making the combat challenging when facing many enemies without the wolf form's advantages.
