Getting blue "W"s, while in werewolf form will make Ken turn back into a man. Getting bubbles will fill his anger meter and getting five of them will turn him into a super werewolf that can jump higher and do double damage for a limited time.
Reception
GamePro Magazine gave a favourable review to the game, calling it "challenging" and with "slick" cutscenes between stages, but criticized the "basic storyline" and average graphics.
Magazine VideoGames & Computer Entertainment gave a negative review, criticizing it as a short, tough, "simple and uninspired" game, but praised the graphics and level backgrounds. It noted to be design flaws the "clumsy controls", which were an inverted control scheme from the usual NES interface ("B" to jump and "A" to fire), and the need to let the timer run out after the player character loses his werewolf transformation.
Seanbaby, in an editorial column in Electronic Gaming Monthly, listed Werewolf: The Last Warrior in his "Worst 7s", games that he considered to have been, in hindsight, unjustly rewarded with positive notes by previous issues of the magazine.
