A story-driven game about a group of misfits being gifted a mecha called Cowboy and then trying to climb the ranks of a fighting tournament with it. The dialogue can be lengthy sometimes, but the story was great, the characters had depth, and the turn-based mecha fights were fun and satisfying. You play as the protagonist, Dominic Shade, who manages Team Cowboy. Throughout the game, more of Shade's backstory will reveal itself, showing the player how he ended up reuniting with his close friends, Knife and Duque. Players can customize Cowboy with different kinds of parts that each have their own drawbacks and advantages, and the pilot, Knife Leopard, can equip various moves and stances, allowing the player to develop their own mecha-fighting playstyle throughout the game. Almost the entire game has high-quality voice acting. It also has a unique and stylish art style. Overall, Wolfstride was an experience that was like no other game for me, and I believe that it's a highly underrated indie gem.
