Description
Wolfchild's son transforms into a werewolf to battle a terrorist organisation and rescue his scientist father. Published by Sony Imagesoft, released in Europe in January 1993. 2D platformer with transformation into an enhanced-ability werewolf, varied levels of increasing difficulty. Multilingual version.
Wolfchild on Sega CD is the CD port of a run-and-gun already known on other formats, its main addition being an energetic CD-quality rock soundtrack. The game itself is not exclusive to the add-on, which limits its purely play-driven appeal for collectors. Desirability rests less on content than on the small North American Sega CD base and a modest print run, keeping complete value reasonable without any standout aura, so demand stays niche among set builders.
Is Wolfchild still worth playing in 2026?
A platformer from Virgin, Wolfchild follows a young hero able to turn into a werewolf to fight a terrorist organization and save his scientist father, across two-dimensional action levels. The transformation, the shooting and the upgrades bring some variety, in a decent production boosted by the CD soundtrack on Mega-CD. The pace and level design stay classic, without great surprise. An honest pick for fans of retro platform-action and the curious about the Mega-CD catalog.
