Werewolf vs. Comanche is a video game developed and published byNovaLogic forDOS andMac OS in 1995. It is a compilation of two separate gamesWerewolf andComanche 2.0, an updated version ofComanche: Maximum Overkill.[1] A standalone version ofComanche 2.0 was released in 1996.[2]
Werewolf vs. Comanche is a combat flight simulator compilation featuring two standalone games on separate CDs—Comanche 2.0 (an updated version ofComanche: Maximum Overkill) andWerewolf—in which players pilot either the American RAH-66 Comanche stealth attack helicopter or the Russian KA-50 Hokum ("Werewolf"), with similar flight models, controls, and weapons for balanced head-to-head play. Action-oriented missions, exceeding 60 in total across both titles, involve low-level flight over detailed voxel terrain to destroy enemy targets such as vehicles and aircraft before returning to base; select scenarios permit landing to refuel and rearm. The games utilize NovaLogic's Voxel Space engine for hardware-accelerated 3D landscapes without a 3D graphics card, supporting cockpit views (with Werewolf offering superior visibility) and cinematic mission debriefs.
Multiplayer emphasizes competition, supporting up to eight players in deathmatch or cooperative modes via modem (two-player, cross-compatible between titles), null-modem cable, serial/parallel links, or IPX networks, praised for smooth, exhilarating action akin toDoom.

Next Generation reviewed the PC version of the game, rating it three stars out of five, and stated that"Controls are simple, and the action is nonstop. It could use a Super VGA mode, but all in all, this is one tidy package."[3]
GameZone rated the game a 3 of 5 saying"All-in-all, this is still a very fun game to play. Those who want mega detailed simulations may want to steer clear of Werewolf vs Comanche (seeApache review). However, if you like jump-in seat-of-your pants flying, Werewolf vs Comanche may be for you. I know I will continue to play and enjoy Werewolf vs Comanche for some time to come. Now... if Novalogic's next release will only update their Voxel technology, we will be set!"[4]
Computer Gaming World's Jack Rodrigues said:"Like its single-chopper predecessor, WEREWOLF VS. COMANCHE isn't for the flight-sim purist. But the simplicity that will make some hard-core sim fans scoff at the package will appeal to newcomers of helicopter sims, who are more interested in getting into the sky with a group of friends and blasting at anything that moves than getting an education in authentic tactics androtor-wing physics."[1]
