Not Raised By Wolves

Not Raised By Wolves is a compact yet entertaining third-person action shooter that combines futuristic technology, Western-inspired gunplay, and an unconventional protagonist into a surprisingly appealing adventure. Developed and published by Vancouver Film School, this free-to-play student project emphasizes fast combat, precise shooting, and tactical cooperation with a robotic companion. Rather than attempting to deliver an enormous campaign, it concentrates on a focused experience that introduces its mechanics quickly and encourages players to make every encounter count. Its limited scope is immediately apparent, but the creativity behind its central concept makes it an interesting example of what a small development team can accomplish. The adventure follows La Coyota, an anthropomorphic gunslinger determined to rescue the kidnapped pups of her colony. Her journey leads into an ancient artificial intelligence facility filled with hostile mechanical enemies.

La Coyota's distinctive appearance and revolver-wielding personality give the adventure character, whil…

I can jump in, shoot my way through the facility and finish the whole thing without it ever having time to become bloated. The shooting is simple, but I really like how the revolver works. I have two firing modes, with one being useful for firing quickly and the other letting me make more precise shots. That gives me a small amount of choice during fights without making the controls complicated. I also have a robotic drone that can hack enemies, temporarily stun them and expose their weak points. I like this because I am not just holding down the trigger until everything falls over. I have to use the drone at the right moment and then take advantage of the opening. The enemies are mostly robotic creatures inside the facility, and the fights gradually give me more to deal with. The …

I love the game, but it's a bit laggy. I'm a little sad, that it's so short.

very fun and free cant beat that, would love to see a full length game

Turns out I really liked how the game felt in terms of theme and game type. Aiming a little weird, as other reviews have said, but if they did make a larger game I would be down to actually pay for it.
