Sang-Froid: Tales of Werewolves

I purchased this game originally on Steam when it was first released. I played it then and genuinely enjoyed it. Being able to get it here on GOG for free is amazing! To talk about the game a little: It is a 3rd person action game with a strategy phase before each level. You see what enemies you will be facing and where they will be coming from and can set up traps and other useful tools around the map before you go into the level. You then defeat the enemies with a hack and slash style combat but you have a dodge that you can use to avoid the enemy's attacks. When I had my friend try it he compared it to Dark Souls combat. I see what he is trying to say, but the controls are not that tight in my opinion. Yes you go in and attack and then dodge out of the way but it doesn't feel as good as Dark Souls. You can choose between two different characters to play and each one has their own skill tree. Some of the skills are shared between the characters but many skills are exclusive to only one of the characters. Some of the skills are very interesting and completely change the way you approach a level in the strategy section. For example: My first time playing I went into a bait skill that lured enemies in and they would eat the bait. Then I upgraded it to be poison bait. After that I got a skill that allowed me to place blockades around the map. Before I knew it I had turned the game into a pseudo tower defense game and it was nothing like that at the start. My friend played the game completely differently because he got different skills and on my subsequent playthroughs I tried using different skills and I couldn't play the game like a tower defense anymore. The cut-scenes may put some people off because they don't look great, but I actually really enjoyed how cheesy they were and it was fun to laugh at them while listening to the story. I think this is a great game and for free you have nothing to lose but a little bit of time. I would say give it a shot.

I already owned this on Steam, but gladly bought it again from GOG. It's an interesting tower defense game worthy of a play-through!

I bought this month´s ago at release on steam. It was out vor 19 euro if i remember right and was worth every cent. Unique atmosphere and gameplay, very polished and well made.

Sang-Froid is an interesting hybrid of 3rd-person combat and base defense. Before each night starts, you lay out traps to defend your key buildings against the minions of the devil. Then, as night descends, you go out and fight them directly, hoping your traps are well-placed and your aim is true. There's a lot of strategy involved, and you can upgrade both your traps and your weapons. The story is somewhat interesting because it takes the form of almost a folk tale. The setting, early 19th-Century Quebec, is unique and interesting. There is one glaring, HORRIBLE issue with the game, however: The English voicework. Not speaking any dialect of French, I can't say anything about the quality of the native-language VO, but the English work is amatuerish, dull, and somewhat poorly translated. This is by no means a deal-breaker, but you should know going in that it's going to be somewhat jarring.

Just played The First Three Levels. Awesome Game. The gun does take a while to reload, but its in 1885. so its a nice touch. once you get the mechanics of the game, Very Fun. It's Strategic so some may not like it. But I Recommend Highly!
