About Death Howl

About this game

A JOURNEY TO THE SPIRIT REALM

In forgotten lands shrouded by myth, Ro—a hunter from a small tribe—is overcome by grief following the death of her beloved son. Guided by voices from another world, she transcends into the realm of spirits, in hopes of bringing him back.

MASTER YOUR DECK-BUILDING SKILLS

Death Howl weaves an atmospheric tale of grief, healing, and resilience. As Ro, you’ll face relentless spirits in turn-based battles that challenge your tactical sense and adaptability. To succeed, you must craft and master decks of powerful cards and use shamanic totems while unearthing forgotten tales and secrets that shape Ro’s path.

ENGAGE IN GRID-BASED COMBAT

Explore the realm of spirits and gather ingredients to craft cards from each region. Discover shamanic totems to enhance your deck and cast a variety of melee and ranged spells to balance your offensive and defensive skills. Each new card lets you tailor your tactical style while preparing for your next deadly encounter.

A MOTHER'S GRIEF, A SPIRIT'S JOURNEY

Face a host of restless and eerie spirits in grid-based battles where each move is crucial. Test your wit by fighting unique enemy types and powerful bosses. Grow stronger, adapt your deck, and choose your battles as you explore grim lands like the Forest of Howling Shadows or Meadows of Delusion.

DEATH HOWL IN NUMBERS

Take part in a mother’s spiritual journey through grief, where every step uncovers a new layer of her story, reflecting themes of love, loss, and the path of acceptance. Discover a mysterious world of forgotten lore, where darkness whispers secrets and invites you to unearth buried memories.

Immerse yourself in the spectral depths of the Spirit World, a realm fractured into 4 desolate regions and scarred with 13 biomes. Confront over 30 woeful enemy types and harness the forgotten power from more than 150 cards, forging unique archetypes and a multitude of powerful combinations. A dark journey awaits you, spanning 20+ hours of gameplay, with numerous enthralling side quests and grim boss battles.
