Bloody Wolf is a straightforward war action game by Data East and
is the adaptation of an arcade game released by the same company in 1988.
The Bloody wolf special forces have decided to send one of
their best men, either Snake and Eagle, on a
perilous rescue mission. Armed with a heavy machine gun with unlimited ammo
and a handful
of grenades, he must rescue the president kept captive by an army
of terrorists. To fulfill his duty, our soldier must fight his way
through eight levels, from an uninviting town to a deep impenetrable jungle.
Special crates scattered throughout the game hide power-ups and new weapons - our
soldier is able to pick a secondary weapon that ranges from a
Spread Shotgun to a Flame Thrower,
a Rocket Launcher and Hand Grenades.
He can drive motorbikes and can investigate houses, trucks and
caves - they often hide hostages that can give the player special
items and vital information. As a side note, this conversion
of the game can only be played in single-player mode.

Bloody Wolf (aka Battle Rangers in Europe) was
initially released as an arcade game in 1988 by Data East.
Two players could simultaneously play
in the arcade version unlike the PC Engine conversion
tested here which only features a single-player mode.
The PC Engine also includes an extra stage and the levels
are overall larger.

Teaser text from the American version:
You're a death-dealing commando on the mission of your life...
rescue the President from an army of terrorist guerillas. Only you
have the guts and firepower to blast through their jungle strong-holds...
to take out their choppers, snipers and missile launching
subs. Make them eat the heat of your flash bombs and explode in
the fury of your magnum grenades. The President holds his breath
as you begin your final desperate assault. So does the entire world.

Bloody Wolf is a really good game. To be honest,
I wasn't impressed at first and then things got better,
a lot better. I won't spoil what happens half way through
the game, but it is simply awesome! And for a change you
don't have to save your girlfriend but the president.
It only lacks a solid two simultaneous player mode - but the
game already suffers from terrible slowdowns, so it would
have only made things worse to add a two player mode!
All in all, do not get turned away by the average
graphics, Bloody Wolf is an excellent and fun game.
