Description

Fear the Wolves is a competitive Battle Royale FPS by Vostok Games, bringing unique elements inspired by classic FPS games to the world’s hottest genre. The game drops players, as duos or lone wolves, into the oppressive environments of a radiation-ravaged Chernobyl spread across a section of the 25km2 map.

To secure the top spot, players will need to worry about more than just other survivors. Across the hostile wastes, everyone is threatened by deadly anomalies and the dynamically-changing weather – voted for by players and spectators, both in-game and on streaming platforms. As time wares on and day turns to dusk, survivors must stay on their toes and constantly adapting to new situations.

Protective gear allows players to explore dangerous off-limit radioactive zones inaccessible to less-equipped opponents - but filled with powerful loot. All the while, the howls of mutated creatures echo through the wasteland. Wolves and much worse lay in wait for foolish players who don’t keep their wits about them.

Further breaking the mold of the genre, every game is made truly unique by the irregular and unpredictable spread of deadly radiation, which organically closes in on players with different stages of toxicity, all of which can be battled and avoided in different ways. Safety is rarely certain, and adept players will need to read the environment to determine when it is no longer wise to remain in an area.

Finally, every match ends with a dramatic race to the extraction helicopter, with only one of the handful of survivors able to make it. Will you pick off stragglers from a rooftop until you are the only one alive? Or would you rather make a mad dash for freedom, leaving your pursuers behind and escaping under the cover of night? Each extraction is unique, with the final area layout and your skills deciding the winner. Cosmetic customization options and a deep progression system reward you for your victories and close-calls.

All this, rival players, tight shooting mechanics, and an arsenal of guns, attachments, armour, and melee weapons mean no two matches are the same.

  • Brutal FPS battle royale in the irradiated remains of Chernobyl
  • 20+ weapons with dozens of attachments, across a wide variety of effective ranges and situations, including melee
  • Radiation spreads dynamically from area to area, and can be survived with the right gear
  • PvE elements keep each match different, with wolves, mutants, and other hazards a constant danger
  • Finish matches in style with the final battle around the extraction helicopter
  • Artifacts found in the wasteland change your gameplay experience significantly

Fear the Wolves is a Battle Royale game with its own unique twist on the genre. It has had a rough time with early access and the launch, but if you are an avid battle royale fan you might want to keep your eye on this one.

Another Battle Royale game? *Yawn*
I know most people aren’t really keen on trying out another battle royale game as the genre is getting really saturated right now with new releases still being churned out. But Fear the Wolves has put its own unique twist on the genre in numerous small ways. Each one making sure the game offers a slightly different experience from other titles in the genre but at the same time ensuring the game stays true to any standard battle royale game.

To start off, the game takes place in a futuristic Chernobyl. Instead of a random circle that does damage to player’s outside, parts of the map get marked as ‘radiated’. This doesn’t happen in a circular manner but in patches from the outside working to random point on the map. If you are in this area not only do you take damage but it also reduces your max hp as well. But don’t worry as there are a few items such as anti-radiation pills that can revert these negative debuffs. The game also has several items that let you survive in the radiation zone for a while such as hazmat suits and oxygen tanks.

Okay, but why Fear the ‘Wolves’
Now, the reason behind the name of the game. Have you played any battle royale game, spawned in a quite location. Sneak your way to the final circle and die to someone you didn’t see? It makes you feel like you wasted the past 20-30 minutes of your life and that you didn’t really do anything in the game. Well this game has found a way to counter that in a very intuitive manner. This game introduces these mutant wolves. They are spread across the map. They can do a lot of damage and need to be dealt with swiftly. It may require an entire magazine at times just to save your life. It introduces it’s own element to the game. As it requires numerous resources, you may want to be in an area where there are more players. This will make sure you are less likely to run into a pack of wolves plus it’s fewer bullets to kill another player than a wolf.

This sounds perfect, what’s the catch?
While this game is unique in a largely un-innovative genre this game severely lacks players. You may be forced to go to a server with worse ping just to find a full game. Some times you may not be able to find a game at all because too few players. But if you are from a region where there are players or in a timezone where you are able to play when most others are then this isn’t as bad of an issue.

Final Verdict:
While this is a good game at its core, I can’t recommend it at full price because of the small playerbase. However, if you are a fan of battle royale games and want a taste of something slightly different it’s worth picking up. To others, I would still encourage picking up this game on a sale.
