I literally did everything I could, fought every battle visited every location cleared every arena and got every achievement. The game could be finished easily a lot faster than my own clocked hours,I was crawling and searching through the dust hoping for more content.What is here is really solid, good battle system, a decent selection of cards.Replayability? Little to none, personally I doubt I will play through this again. There are no random encounters, just scripted story encounters. There are the arena battles which personally I found the most interesting as some of them had unique foes that could be a bit more challenging.Difficulty wise overall I would say it is a bit on the easy side. Not too bad but there is no difficulty setting option so one size fits all in this case beginner to veteran.So to summarise-Do I regret buying this game? =Not at all, I did enjoy the time I played it.Is it value for money?=Overall yes, cheaper than a movie and prob about twice as long without hurrying. Though there are better value for money games out there at this price or less. I would probably wait for a 50% off sale on itWould I recommend you buy it?=Conditionally yes, just don't go into with huge expectations. I would say most people will play through once, enjoy it and shelve it. Without a multiplayer or random battles it is not long enough to warrant a replay.It is unfortunate as what's here is good.Hopefully some of that helps, hopefully some of that makes sense ;P. (Completely updated review after first completion of game)Summary: this is a good, fun game, but short with not a whole lot of replay value...Pros: Easy strategic depth with some layers of complexity, stable and efficient programming, decent story with variety of tone, pleasant surprises (riddles, hidden chests, etc.)Cons: Scope of game is quite small; not a lot of cards, characters, quests, etc... I beat the game just shy of four hours. Difficulty curve vanishes after you 'figure it out.' Would also be nice to have a text speed option; lots of clicking to get through dialogue.I still recommend as a good\/fun game, and the price is fair. Interresed to see if they expand\/develop a new (bigger) story line at some point...EDIT: The fact this game is short could actually be a PRO, because now I actually feel like I've completed a game in my library :). Northmark: Hour of the Wolf is a RPG with a card-driven battle system.The plot is intriguing, with humourous little twists. The battle system is partially original and functions well, although not very polished.The whole single player campaign took me about 3 hours to finish, including completing all side quests, finding secrects and beating all arenas.So the game is a nice dessert. Recommended at discounted price.. Better than I expected. You can skip every conversation and just check your quest log after but I thought the story was decent enough to read. If you learn the combat well then the game is pretty easy, if you struggle with grasping it then you'll probably have a ruff ride as it's very linear and 90% of the combat at least is unavoidable. A total deal at the sale price and not too bad at regular price. It only took me 5.5 hours to fully complete it, you can have 100% achievements prior to that too, so it's not too long. Some people, like me, like that but some don't so it's important to note that. Give it a try if you think that you might like it.. This game lacks polish. I'm playing a female character but all the dialog refers to me as a male. There are misspelled words and some of the jokes are very lame. One of my quests is buggy. But you know what? I don't care! Regardless of all that, the story is still fun and the card battles are incredibly addicting. If you like fantasy settings or card games or stories that poke fun at themselves, you'll probably enjoy this quite a bit. And the best part - the achievements work just fine! If you're thorough in your exploring, it's fairly easy to get a perfect game in one playthrough. So if you don't mind an unpolished game, look for this on sale and snap it up. This is one game I'm very happy I decided to buy.
