Item Description

A brilliant scientist is kidnapped and forced to build an army of mutant soldiers, and the only one left to stop it is his youngest son, armed with the results of a secret experiment called Project Wolfchild. That is the setup for Core Design's Wolfchild, a dark, fast side-scroller in which Saul Morrow fights his way through the terrorist organization Chimera, and it plays like a lost slice of early-nineties sci-fi action.

The hook is the transformation. Saul starts as a human brawler, but build up his power and he becomes the Wolfchild, a werewolf warrior who unleashes energy blasts and turns the tables on the mutants swarming each stage. Keeping that form is the constant tension, because taking too much punishment knocks him back to fists and feet. Across ten levels you face mazes, puzzles and a gruesome rogues' gallery of mutant creatures, and the stages grow steadily more hostile as Saul closes in on Chimera.

This Sega CD version is the enhanced one. It adds a fully animated introduction and a CD-quality stereo soundtrack, giving a game that began on home computers a punchier, more cinematic presentation than the cartridge versions. Core Design was one of the Sega CD's most ambitious Western supporters, also producing Thunderhawk and Soulstar for the system, and only a few years later the same British studio would launch Tomb Raider.

That lineage makes Wolfchild a fascinating piece of history, but it holds up on its own terms as a tough, atmospheric action game with a great central gimmick. This is the version to seek out if you want Core's werewolf platformer with the full CD treatment.
