Listen. The premise of this game is silly, but this game is a little catchy. VERY simple to pick up and play. It’s funny that the cover of this game makes the wolf seem so cartoonish and mischievous, when the game actually describes him as being some sort of a hell hound that was encased in concrete so he wouldn’t terrorize towns and villages. Gotta love Rare!

Sabre Wulf did not need a sequel, but by George we got one, and what a step up! While I certainly wouldn't say that Sabre Wulf is iconic in anyway, it's still a super neat puzzle platformer that has the same kind of charm that most rare games do, despite being a THQ **** basic mechanics of Sabre Wulf are as follows, go from point a to point b to find treasure, then run like hell back to point a while a wolf chases you. Despite being formulaic, it honestly doesn't really get old. Getting to the treasure is quite a novelty in the sense you need to use various creatures in your arsenal to clear your way safely to the treasure, and while you do have a limited amount of creatures to use, there are plenty of creatures to get throughout your adventure and add extra into your items in order to not worry so much about resources. While resources are very important in the beginning, the game is also far more tame, and as such makes for a perfect learning curve of resource management and puzzle solving. Being able to use your items effectively is nearly half the game, and while you have all the time to think about how to get to the treasure, you don't once the Wolf starts chasing. Wolf chasing portion is honestly a pretty interesting way to set up some fast puzzle platforming despite the intent first part nature of the game. While you can indeed trick the wolf and somewhat outrun it, it is always chasing you and pressures you hard to think on your feet.Despite the excitement of most levels, the boss levels in this game really aren't anything to write home about. Largely each boss, including the final boss, are just a race to touch switches as a pool of acid starts rising in a castle like tower, and while I do appreciate the change of pace, overall these levels just make me feel rather dull knowing it's the last of it's world.While I certainly don't think Sabre Wulf is going to charm everyone, it's still a surprisingly good hidden gem of the GBA days, and well worth your time if you ever need a puzzle fix.

O visual me lembra o incrivel Banjo de GBA, só por isso já me deixou bem receptivo ao jogo, não deu outra, é um bom game, bem divertido e desafiante tirar ouro, fazer fases em 2D lateral e o hub world em 2.5D com visão superior.
