Dr. Kal Morrow, expert in genetic research and creation of human-animal hybrids, has been kidnapped and his family brutally murdered by the terrorist organization CHIMERA. His surviving son Saul takes it upon himself to avenge his family. Using his father's research, he turns into a man-wolf and sets out to find CHIMERA's base and defeat their leader Karl Draxx.
As Saul, you must traverse five different areas on your way to Draxx. When you collect enough power-ups, you transform into your wolf form and gain a special psychic shot attack. You can further improve this ability by collecting more power-ups. However, if you lose health, you revert back to your human form and are only able to fight with your fists against the numerous enemies.
The gameplay of Wolfchild is an action-adventure experience that combines exploration, combat, and strategy. The game features a variety of power-ups and upgrades that allow you to progress through the story and take on increasingly challenging foes.
