Chronicles of the Wolf Review – A Safe, Generic Metroidvania!?
219In our latest review, we dive deep into Chronicles of the Wolf, a new indie Metroidvania that’s hoping its nostalgic vibes and haunting soundtrack will make players want to add it to their gaming libraries. But does Chronicles of the Wolf bring anything new to the Metroidvania genre?
Fans of Metroidvania games will certainly recognize the familiar mechanics: a massive map, item- and ability-based progression, towns, RPG elements, and a retro pixel art aesthetic. Chronicles of the Wolf certainly leans hard on tradition, but its less-than-refined platforming and safe design choices could potentially leave some players wanting more. Featuring voice talents from Symphony of the Night and music composed by Jeffrey Montoya, the nostalgia is certainly here.
So, whether you are a die-hard Metroidvania lover or new to the genre, this video will cover everything from the story to boss battles—and why Chronicles of the Wolf could have benefitted from more creative risks. Look no further for your Metroidvania fix here at I Dream of Indie Games, and see if Chronicles of the Wolf deserves a spot, at the least, in your backlog.
