Hello Lost Souls,
We are thrilled to announce that Death Howl is now available on Steam! Looking back at the beginning of this journey, we are honestly speechless at how far we’ve come. Countless days, weeks, and months were spent discussing, balancing mechanics, writing the story, and suiting it with music and visuals. The result is over 25 hours of captivating gameplay for you to enjoy!
We want to sincerely thank all of you who helped shape the game by playing the demo and participating in the playtests. Your feedback was invaluable, helping us balance the many cards, mechanics, and modifiers. We are incredibly proud of the outcome and hope you enjoy accompanying Ro on her journey, and that her story will stay with you a little longer.
Check out the new trailer prepared for this occasion and the 11 facts video:
Craft and Build Your Deck
Create more than 160 cards and build decks that combine strategies such as poison, strength, sacrifice, retaliation, backstabbing, blocking, movement, and more. Explore shamanic totems with unique effects to strengthen your deck. Each new element gives you the freedom to shape your own tactical approach as you face your next deadly challenge.
Experience a Deep and Dark Norse Storyline
In lands lost to legend, Ro, a hunter from a small tribe, is consumed by sorrow after losing her beloved son. Guided by mysterious voices from another world, she ventures into the spirit realm, hoping to reunite with him.
Death Howl tells a haunting story of grief, healing, and perseverance. As Ro, you will confront relentless spirits in turn-based battles that test your strategy and adaptability. To overcome these challenges, you must build and master decks of powerful cards, wield shamanic totems, and uncover forgotten stories and secrets that shape her journey.
Enjoy Beautiful Views of the Spirit World
Travel through the Spirit Realm, fractured into 4 realms and scarred with 13 distinct regions, each offering different cards, enemies, environments, and landscapes. Adapt to the challenges, engage in battles with creatures, or simply pause to enjoy the view, accompanied by haunting Dark Norse music.
Try It On Steam Deck!
Death Howl is Verified on Steam Deck from Day One! Take your journey anywhere and craft cards on the handheld device, even in the middle of a foggy forest next to your campfire.
Suit yourself for the Spiritual Adventure
Apart from the game release, we have just dropped new merch with Death Howl designs which is available for you here. Death Howl T-shirts, pads, and bags await you in the Spirit World!
We could not have reached this milestone without your support. Your enthusiasm, feedback, and encouragement have been instrumental in shaping Death Howl into the game it is today.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for joining us on this journey and for being part of it.
