Death Howl is a hauntingly beautiful experience that balances emotional storytelling with demanding gameplay. Its Nordic-inspired pixel art, melancholic soundtrack, and themes of grief create a powerful atmosphere, especially through side quests where helping lost souls brings genuine emotional weight. Once its deckbuilding and combat systems click, encounters can feel deeply rewarding. However, the game doesn’t hold your hand. The lack of a proper tutorial, heavy grinding, and cryptic narrative can make the early hours frustrating and may push some players away. Death Howl is a game that asks for patience — and rewards it unevenly. For fans of deckbuilders, soulslike tension, and artistic narrative experiments, it’s a bold and memorable journey. For others, its rough edges may overshadow its beauty. Full review (FR): https://rogueh24.fr/test-du-jeu-death-howl/
