Howl İnceleme (Hybrid)
Positive review, but with grounded expectations about what you're getting.
This is more a puzzle game than strategy. The AI is completely algorithm-based and will have the same output for a given input. The sole exception is the final level where there is (very annoying) RNG that will determine how many times you're clicking Restart. While each puzzle is entertaining to figure out, there's not much replay value.
I've got pretty sizable experience in this type of game (Incredible Machine, Into the Breach, etc.), so I was able to easily reach the end in about 3.5 hours without trouble. Going back and wrapping up all the Steam achievements took an additional 3 hours. Your mileage may vary if puzzle/strategy is difficult for you.
The graphics have a very pleasant and unique "hand-drawn" art direction, like you're looking at mobile ink on paper. It's not high-fidelity, but the artists knew what they wanted to do, and I respect that.
I was not impressed by the story. On each level, the narrator says a couple sentences about what's going on. The problem is, almost all of it can be summarized as "The Prophet is going to this place now," or "People are scared of the Howl," or "Civilized areas are in disrepair." Without spoiling specifics, the ending had one sentence and then a brief art sequence depicting one of the most "esoteric happy endings" I've seen in a long time. It's the kind of ending that makes you react: "Really?"
For the low price tag, it was still a fun bit of puzzle solving. But absent any surprise content updates, I'm probably not ever going to pick it up again.
