Good evening my Ghoulish Gamers! In this weeks installment of Ghastly Game Reviews, I’m throwing you a review of One Night Ultimate Werewolf. One Night Ultimate Werewolf is a party game designed to hunt down – and kill – the werewolf of the game. It has twists and turns and leaves friends either loving or hating each other by the end of the night. This review will go over game play, the positives and negatives of the game, and my personal opinion on it.
One Night Ultimate Werewolf is a party game – the more people playing, the more fun it is! Someone needs to be assigned as the leader of the game. The leader controls the night and lets the players know when they can use their roles. Each person at the beginning of the game gets assigned a role of many. The role stays anonymous as you don’t want the other players to know what your role is. Each role has a set of different abilities that they get to use during the night. There are good and bad roles, but ultimately, the object of the game is to lynch the werewolf. After everyone figures out their roles and the abilities that go with it, it is night time. The night is when everyone will be able to use their abilities. Everyone closes their eyes and waits for the leader to call their role out. When their role is called, they “wake up” and complete their ability. Once everyone’s ability is played, everyone “wakes up” at the same time to find someone murdered. They then have to figure out who the werewolf is and vote to lynch. If they kill too many humans, the werewolf wins. If they lynch the werewolf, the towns people win.
There are both positives and negatives to this game. The positive is that if you have a large group of friends, alcohol, and a night ahead of you, this game can be great fun! It is fun to turn on your friends, kill them, all the while debating with everyone on who to lynch. The negative of this game is that the fewer people you have, the less fun it is. Also, the game is pretty short. If you’re looking for a more immersive game, this one isn’t for you.
I think that this game can be fun with the right people. As I said before, it is a great party game. If your group of friends plays more tabletop-strategy horror games like Dead of Winter or Arkham Horror, then this game may not be for you. My personal opinion is that it is a great game to play during a party or if you’re short on time but you still want to play. I personally love tabletop immersive games so this game isn’t particularly what I’m looking for in a game.
All in all, this is a great quick game to play when you’re too drunk to have any sort of in-depth strategy gaming. Until next time my ghoulies, stay scared!
