I wish steam reviews had a 'meh' option, because I don't want to recommend this game but I also do not want to say that it should not be played. Pros: So far I think the mech combat parts of the game are okay and the setting is kind of interesting. Cons: The wannabe edgy story is not as compelling as the developers think it is. Unfortunately you will be forced to listen to nonsensical noir inspired dialog that …

This game is a failure, but it's an accomplished failure that I would recommend if you're the kind of person who appreciates a good experience and is willing to put up with some aches along the way. The obvious selling point of this game is the style, which I would say is a cross between Cowboy Bebop and No More Heroes. Definitely has a vibe that is easy to get into. Everything else in this game is a mixed bag. The …

This game should be on Wikipedia, under the definition of the "hidden gem". Pros: + Bombastically stylish! + Interesting and cool characters. + Amusing and actually entertaining plotline. + Decently implemented turn-based mech combat. + TONS of anime references and plenty of witty lines and good jokes. + Great music/soundtrack. Cons: - Some parts of the game are a lil'bit grindy (I'm looking at you pineapples!) - …

6/10 I was a little disappointed by this game. First, this game has incredible qualities. The voice acting is great and perfectly matches each character. All the characters are great, even the training robot with its weird voice. Their 2D portraits were done in a anime art-style that I really liked. It reminded me a little of Cowboy Bebop. The dialogs were funny, witty, easy to read, yet well written. But, this game …

Good game, kinda too long, kinda too black and white. Never been called trash that much before, hope it doesn't start a kink...

60 of 132 · most liked firstI think it was in middle school. There was this guy in a class parallel to mine, we'd have PE together. He was a bit of a celebrity - the teachers mentioned that he's a writer, received awards for his writing, whatever. You wouldn't know it by talking to him, though; he swore like a f*cking sailor. And that wasn't in English, mind you, it was in a language with swears far more complex (and flowery). He looked down on people; had this arrogant air about him. To my surprise, I was one of the few…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Too much Bebop, not enough game. I don’t hate Wolfstride, but let’s be real. The devs clearly mainlined entirely too much Bebop and then decided to make a game out of poop jokes, Gundams, anime ennui, and long pauses where nobody says what they mean. It's stylish. Weird. And frequently cringe by design. Gameplay is there, technically. You walk. You talk. You do favors for tired men, talking animals, and witches with sunglasses. Most of it feels like stalling for time between cutscenes. The…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I finished this game and I have never been conflicted about a game. The art and music is amazing, the robot fighting is cool (if a bit broken), the most of the characters a really neat. I just have problems with the ways it waste your time, every time you enter an area you have to go through a mostly empty street just to get to the area you want to go to. Probably I would save hours if I didn't have to walk back and forth. The writing is not very strong either, cause sometimes it gets way too…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If you can get passed the tedious running back and forward between locations and the insufferable dialogue that sounds like someone thinks borderlands is the peak of comedy. You'll be happily rewarded with some solid turn based combat. This could have been really interesting, and it's clear that there is passion put into it. I just feel it is dragged down by the writing and general game play loop outside of the fights.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Before playing, I read a review that described Wolfstride as the devs' entire hearts poured into a game with a market reach of, like, 5 specific nerds. Lucky for me, I'm one of them and I loved it. :) It's a GREAT game. Has a few bumps (some typos, some weird balancing, money and the item/skill shops become useless quite soon, a bit draggy navigation, some overwriting) but it oozes style and heart in a way that every game should. Shout out specifically to whoever pitched ZZ Zowie.…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Man, its a slow burn, but what a game. If you can maintain an attention span you will be rewarded to an awesome soundtrack, great mech battles, fun dialog and some cool moments. But you aren't here for the praise. You're here for the trash talk, isin't that right, Trash? Flaws: Pineapple grind. Dev's. Please gooby. Its clearly a philosophical choice, but like many philosophies, its crap. Duplicate end game rewards. I'm looking at you repair 3 and blueprint 3. (o'_'o) reeeeee. The…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →What I expected: mecha battles. What I got: lots of walking. Looooooooooooots of walking. So much walking that the little bits of content I got started seeming insignificant in the face of it. After spending what, two in-game weeks walking through every screen and checking every object to see if there was any change or any reason at all that there was no fast-travel to skip all the walking, I was done. The story and characters seemed interesting, and I would like to learn more about them, but…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Hell of a game! It goes all in on the vibe, and really nails it; that sorta Cowboy Bebop, mecha anime style. The soundtrack is killer, the voice acting is all names I've not come across before (as far as I know), but they all put in extremely good performances. And the mech fighting is rather solid, even if you've figured a fight out the sheer style of it all keeps it satisfying to dismantle an opponent! I enjoyed the twists, turns, and complexities, and every advanced part or skill I could…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →✨My future friends, having played the demo for @truantpixel.bsky.social's upcoming Rogue Flight several times now, just to get as tight a grasp of the controls as possible, I think I can safely say that it'll be the game I play next on stream, after @otaimonstudio.bsky.social's Wolfstride! 💚
neutral · AI labelView post →Just finished the first chapter but the game is incredible. It's like playing a manga with giant fighting robots.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Wolfstride probably would not appeal to me if it was accurately described. Like generally I don't go for visual novels. Or at least I thought I didn't. Maybe I should try more. Generally I don't think writing in a game is very important to my enjoyment of it. I think I'd rather read a book or listen to a song, watch a movie, if I want something "well written". By that I mean the text conveys interesting ideas in a fashion distinct to the work. And videogames rarely can hit that for me. But…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Don't take this pseudo JRPG in stride... I can safely say that Wolfstride is unlike any other game that I have ever played. Are there others like it out there on the market? Most assuredly. But none have as much thought or attention to detail put into them, if you ask me. I won't be providing any kinds of spoilers here, other than to say that this action-packed visual novel perfectly encapsulates the experience of playing an anime protagonist with a shadowy & tragic past. Everything from the…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A bumpy but extremely enjoyable ride. More of a visual novel with proper gameplay than anything else, but there is so much to like about Wolfstride. The No More Heroes like structure moves along the plot, going from grinding minigames and sidejobs to upgrade your mech and get new attacks for these fun clashes against other mechas. Initially the premise is super entertaining, but sadly, you eventually will encounter loopholes within the combat system, and its very easy for the daily tasks to…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →That's a wrap on Wolfstride, a very Cowboy Bebop inspired Mecha fighting game that was a lot of fun. The story had some wild twists and I really enjoyed it too
positive · AI labelView post →Really enjoying Wolfstride, a Mecha fighting game where you strengthen your friendships by foisting pineapples you dig up from the junkyard onto your teammates and neighbors
positive · AI labelView post →Not for me but I get why it is liked by most people. Very little gameplay, too much talking and many cutscenes. Only reason I have it in my library is because I got it for like 1 euro from a Fanatical Bundle

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is thoroughly disappointing, it has enjoyable gameplay that last for about 2 hours of the 22 hours I have invested into this poorly written game. The best feature they could add was skipping cutscenes.

neutral · AI labelView post →I found game made by the same people who made Wolfstride. It’s a deck builder, rogue-like It’s $9.99 (USD) and R$32.99 (in Brazilian) Watched a review and they mentioned it requires strategy. I shouldn’t recommend this to Amasti but @danes.kravy.xyz would like it… probably, I mean it looks unique
neutral · AI labelView post →This game is mainly a story driven game and it's cool as ♥♥♥♥ with maxed out style points. My two negatives about it is that this is a game that should've had a fast travel or at least a quick exit from an area, and the difficulty being too easy once you figured it out. It had it's challenging moments, but that was me beating enemies I shouldn't have been fighting until I got some of the later parts but I managed to defeat them before even getting the late game parts anyway.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game was an unexpected but absolutely incredible experience. Nothing could have prepared me for how much I would relate and feel for the characters. The story is beautifully written, and the struggles that each characters experience are explored with care, making it impossible not to get a bit emotional. The incredible voice acting adds a lot of depth to the characters and even gave me shivers at time ! I can't end this review without mentioning the game play, it's challenging and requires…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game should have an overwhelmingly positive rating. There aren't many games like this. It seems that the developers gave everything they had: their wits, love, and soul. The price of the game is too low for a masterpiece of this caliber - it is essentially always on sale.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Wolfstride is a slow burn, from movement to combat to story but still pulls you through to the end with a fun story. The presentation of pixel art and a black and white art style is confusing since it don't really do anything for world building or having the premise being anything noir, but still a different choice that makes the game unique and adds a bit of grit I suppose. The mini games feel like they are made to not be played if you would like to have economy and not be bored out of your…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →its like cowboy bebop the game
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game unironically might be my favourite game of all time. It really is THAT good.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →if Wolfstride is on your 12 games in 12 months list for this year you are required to talk to me about it because i have been yelling about that game since 2022 cuz it rules
positive · AI labelView post →Hesitant Recommendation. But If you ever wanted to play a giant robot turned based role playing game with customizable robot parts this is the game for you. I kinda just poured out my feelings of this game so be advised there might be potential spoilers but no plot points spelled out. The major problem is the story although it's gameplay has some rough patches itself, it feels like it needs a sequel to explain everything that happened. You play two characters, Dominic Shade a man running away…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →i can't say I quite fully 100% recommend it but it was rather fun when it wasn't cringe, and that's good enough in this economy imo. if steam allowed us neutral reviews this would've been one! they kinda had something here and it is really fun when it works, but it very often doesn't, because gameplay is on a weaker side. basically default build with some quality adjustments comfortably carried me through like 4/5ths of the game, at which point I got filtered hard by a speedy rusher type…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is a hidden gem, it takes inspiration from shows like Cowboy Bebop, especially the main character Shade, who's a lot like Spike. The rest of the main cast are all memorable and awesome especially Knife, plus the voice acting is great. Overall, it's a good ass game that's worth a try.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is wicked cool. Were talking, underside of the pillow, icy margarita in the dead of winter cool. If ya like Cowboy bebop & Gurren Lagann, you'll dig this game. I laughed, I cried, I thoroughly enjoyed. 10/10 ...if only we could all be as slick as Shade.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'm a bit divided, I'll review it as positive to help the developers, but it's borderline. The game is a visual novel with mini-games and a very simple turn based mecha fighting, but most of the game loop is walking around town checking if there are events or not. It has a unique charm to the characters and you can tell the developers love video games with the references they added. It's visual style and art is great and they come along with a decent soundtrack plus ok mini-games. The problem…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →this is basically a suda51 mecha jrpg, it's honestly amazing, you can expect great artwork, compelling characters, and a bunch of really funny ♥♥♥♥♥♥ jokes, 2x recommend if you are a NMH fan
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This one of a kind game has become one of my favourites. While you have to accept that at the beginning you are not meant to win as the game puts you in two unwinnable fights (pretty sure the second one is honestly) once you start to win it feels incredible. But all of this pales in comparison to the story told by characters and the world they live in. A ragtag group who fights from the bottom to reach the very top due to at first somewhat selfish reasons only to become an inspiring tale of…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Quote this with the best damn video game you never bring up because you’re sure no one else has heard of it. I will swear by Wolfstride to the day I die. One of my favorite games ever. It takes you on one hell of a philosophical journey via tactical DIY mech fights. Trust me on this one.
positive · AI labelView post →Finished Wolfstride. For a game that felt like it was marketed as more of a straight-up comedy, using hot-blood mecha tropes and aesthetics from 00s anime, it had a really refreshing amount of earnestness to its character writing. Almost like a mix of Bebop and TTGL? #Kaboompandaplays
positive · AI labelView post →This game is a real mixed bag. Some great art, great music, decent voice acting, some interesting bot building/combat mechanics. There's a good sense of progression through earning currency and building up your bot and making design choices. Unfortunately, the writing for this game is miserable. The story is mostly just Cowboy Bebop as ordered from Wish™ or Temu™- a ragtag band of miscreants are broke and try to raise money. But the characters lack any sort of defining or interesting…

Others def gonna be used during my ttrpg sessions. Setting here is as cheesy as it gets, and I'm all here for it. Red Line, Kill la Kill, Cowboy Bebop gathered all together and gave high five to the hypertrophic beast of their own creation. p.s. no Foam Gun I won't kill the pig p.p.s. Knife Leopard? More like Sword Panthera p.p.p.s. I agree with others: TOO MUCH…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Wonderful little game which feels immense in every other way. If you have a soft spot for golden age of anime with all its tropes and aesthetics and even it's signature naive cringe this one's for you. It legit got me feeling like a food critiс from Ratatouille getting warm nostalgia after tasting once again a thing almost forgotten. Gameplay wise it's kinda a 50/50 situation. For one half of the game you'll be running errands and playing rather primitive mini-games and it will definitely bore…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The gameplay itself is nothing special let me say that right out of the bat; you play this game for the story. That being said the story is incredibly good featuring a complex and mature protag, loveable and hilarious cast with full voice acting which is top anime quality, great dialogue and writing that sticks with you both in comedy and emotion. In simpleist terms: if you like cowboy bebop, you will LOVE this game.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Amazing story, though it drags a little at the 3/4 mark. A little polish could've made this one of the best narrative games ever, but as is, it's still really great.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is an rpg from the point of view of Shade, a fellow with one hell of a checkered past who is.. in some ways, trying to find his way. It's hard not to delve into it without spoilers, but: Very solid turn based combat, mecha style using preset moves and AP (action points) and MP (move points) Four parts of a mech; both arms, chest, and head. Losing one disables stuff and attacks associated with it. Losing the chest loses the match. Extrapolate that to a movie like set of cutscenes and…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Would I recommend? PEEEEEEEEEEEEE YEAH!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Well, I love the art style. Characters are very good, and music is amazing. But there is too much of "Sh*t" and "F*ck" in the game. Characters keep saying it, almost constantly. It grew old before the first fortnight ends, but they keep saying it over and over again, like an edgy teenager who've just learned bad words. There also a sub-plots which are not related to mecha fights at all. And the ending is all over the place. I've expected something like Redline (2009). And it was there, in all…

neutral · AI labelView post →30.8 hours is how long it took me to 100% the game, to do everything that has an achievement and even the stuff in-game that doesn't. I've never been so engrossed in a game narrative before. For a general idea, imagine this game as Megalobox meets Real Steel, with a dash of Neon White sprinkled in. I never wanted to stop playing. The game offers a cast of goofballs I could never get enough of, with gameplay that while admittedly is rather simple, is still super fun and addictive. Getting this…

Tbh I would absolutely loved to see a sequel to…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is kinda hard to review. It's black and white style are awesome, it has legitimately great voice acting, the mechanics of the fights themselves are surprisingly engaging if limited, the story is melodramatic (but that's the point.) Honestly, it I had to compare Wolfstride to any other games it's be No More Heroes or D4: Dark Dreams Don't Die. It has that uncanny creativity to it, that's consistently inconsistent. This isn't to say the game is perfect, running around the city can be…
