Sang-Froid: Tales of Werewolves
Just downloaded the beta, (going live 6/4/13), of this from Steam for around $16 NZ. The download gives you access to the full game when it is released.
It's a Diablo/Torchlight clone but with a well put together tower defense strategy element thrown in. Graphics are a mix of Torchlight and The Walking Dead which work well. The Storyline is written by a professional and prize winning writer Bryan Perro.
I've only had time to go through the tutorial, but it's pretty damn good so far, (a tutorial that is fun speaks volumes), challenging and scary at times, you have to beat off wolves to protect your family but then come the werewolves which are far nastier. Other creatures are mentioned later on the game.
The basic story in the beginning finds you holed up in a cabin in the woods with your brother and sister. The Devil has made a deal with the the local priest to bring him the girl with an army of vulpine minions to do the job. You have a choice to play one of the two brothers. I've started with Joseph who is armed with an axe, rifle and a variety of traps to defend the cabin.
My only niggle so far is that I would have called it Cold blood: Tales of Werewolves but hell they are a Canadian Games company!
I reckon this may well be one of those unexpected hits of 2013.
