Werewolf: The Last Warrior, known in Japan as Super Werewolf Chronicle Warwolf (超人狼戦記WARWOLF(ウォーウルフ) Chō Jinrō Senki Wōurufu), is an Nintendo Entertainment System platform game about a werewolf that made its debut in 1990 in North America. It starred a werewolf character named "Warwolf".[1]

Story

The game took place on "Red Earth"—Earth's second colony planet.[1] Dr. Faryan adventured into a cave and awoke an ancient evil that made him turn into an evil entity.[1] Afterwards, Dr. Faryan created a bunch of evil mutants who imprisoned nearly everyone on Earth.[2] The only hope for humanity is a man named "Ken" who could transform into a werewolf named "Warwolf".[1]

Gameplay

Getting red "W"s made the hero turn into a werewolf, granting him a longer range melee attack, wall-climbing ability. Getting blue "W"s made him turn back into a man. Getting bubbles added to his anger meter and getting five of them turned him into a super werewolf that could jump very high.[3]
