Wolfchild on the Sega Master System is one of those weird, early '90s action games where you're blasting through levels as a dude with a gun—until you suddenly turn into a werewolf. Yeah, it’s as bizarre as it sounds. The Chimera organization (basically your standard evil sci-fi goons) needs stopping, and you’ve got two ways to do it: shoot everything or rip through enemies with wolf claws.

The first level throws you right into it—running, jumping over pits, and gunning down soldiers. Then, bam, you transform, and suddenly you’re pouncing on guys instead. The wolf form feels clunky at first, but once you get used to it, tearing through enemies is weirdly satisfying. Just watch out for the platforming—some jumps are way more precise than they should be.

It’s not the smoothest game out there, but if you’re into oddball retro action with a shapeshifting twist, Wolfchild’s worth a look. Just don’t expect it to hold your hand.
