Absolutely amazing

As a guy who grew up through the late 80s and 90s with these types of games, I'm absolutely amazed at how great this title is. The flow is extremely fluid. Unlike other modern 90s shooters, there are no hiccups in the battles here. They are as smooth as butter blending an excellent mix between challenging but not too much (played on normal). What I found greatly entertaining with Project Warlock is that it kept all the good aspects of the old shooters, combined some newer elements such as skills and shed the rough edges modern 90s have of making it too hardcore. Another thing I liked are the different weapons that I found myself switching between. With the old titles, I would have a linear list of weapons I'd use, according to how much ammo I had. Here, though, I enjoyed switching around between them regardless of ammo. Obviously, some were more efficient than others in certain combat situations but they overlapped - and it didn't bore me to use any. Lastly, the different maps and monsters are great and varied. It was a nice surprise to see unique enemies throughout chapters and between them. They had different abilities and weaknesses that were fun to learn as I played through the levels. Bottom line - Highly recommended for shooter fans, old and new.

Solid attempt at a retro fps. Good value

Let me first say that the 12 dollars is a steal for the time and effort put forward by this amateur developer and his supporting team. I spent hours playing this. It is simple classic fps carnage. There are a lot of creative and diverse enemy designs and level themes. My biggest issue is that the dev made all of the worlds flat. There are no steps or ramps like you'd see in Doom or Duke Nukem. He really shot himself in the foot by only making flat worlds. I think saying they are "boring" is a bit unfair. I think that they are actually quite creative for a flat world, but I think it was a waste of good developer talent. Perhaps it was a programming issue or a character controller issue, but I seriously think the developer needed some more dynamic multi floor level designs. I know he has elevators in the game, but it is seriously not the same. That being said, this is a great bang for your buck. I had a lot of fun, and think it is worth well over 12 dollars. Keep it up fellow dev. I want to see you branch out with your level designs and fix any issues that kept you from designing levels more vertical. As a note that you probably also got, the game is very dark on high settings, but medium fixes it. You may have already updated it. let me check.

Something that we needed.

Great shotter game with cool retro animations and sound fx. Spoiler alert: final boss is the environmental darkness.

Solid homage to 90's FPS games

Project warlock is a game which is heavy inspired by cult 90's FPS games such as Doom, Heretic and Hexen. Although many features and elements (such as level design, enemies and weapons) seem to be copied across, Project Warlock holds its own with more modern features (RPGsystem), great audiovisuals and fantastic run-and-gun gameplay. We play as the lone warlock who's mission is to get rid of the evil in the world. To his disposal - an array of melee, ranged and arcane weapons. The game takes place over 5 different areas featuring diffferent enemies and level design types. We will go thought castles with knights and zombies, battle mummies in egypt and finish in hell, where we encounter powerful demons. In between the extermination we will visit the "workshop", a safe zone where we can upgrade our stats, unlock new perks and spells, and upgrade our arsenal. Each weapon can be upgraded in one of two ways. All mods are roughtly equal in terms of power, so there isn't a right or wrong way of playing. Apart from guns we also have spells. These are a mixture of offensive, defensive and utility which means that there is something for everyone. The music and sound effects are very well made. Each stage has it's own soundtrack and the music ranges from synth music (think soundtrack found in doom and duke nukem 3d) to metal. The sound effects are crisp and just right. Visually, the game doesn's dissapoint. The sprites and textures is high quality. The design of level "biomes" and enemies found are consistent. Also, the use of a modern engine allows the game to use complex and dynamic lighting effects. Each object can be a potential source of light. To top it off, you can choose a colour palette and display for that retro feel. So why 4 stars? I think boss battles aretoo easy and weapon balance is not good. Apart from a few spells, most of them will be unused. The warlock doesn't talk (I was a bit disappointed cosidering the trailer). Also, a map editor would be nice.

Simple and satisfying

Project Warlock is a throwback to the simpler times when shooters were not so much about pretentious cinematics and more about fast-paced action and mindless fun. After completing the game, I feel this is quite a success, despite a few flaws. If you check the trailer, you will have a pretty good idea of what you are getting here. This is a game about killing hordes of enemies, getting the red, blue, and yellow keys to open the matching doors and finding the exit. It may sound like a boring premise for some, but what the game does, it does really well. To keep it short, here's where the game shines: +Cool retro graphics and smooth framerate. The lighting effects stand out. +RPG elements thrown in the mix. You can upgrade your character, weapons, and spells. +Tons of weapons and meaty gun action. Seeing enemies blow up is a joy. +Good variety of levels, locations, and enemies. +Relentless action and very responsive controls (keyboard + mouse, as it must be). +Well-designed, maze-like levels (yet not too hard). +Some replay value. You can restart the game and choose different upgrades and skills. Despite all this, you must know that there are a few areas where the game could see improvement. -Quite a few locations are too dark. You do have a flashlight of sorts, but you will use it too often. -The main character is too quiet. Some more feedback when you are getting hit would be nice. -The music is a mixed bag, though EVERY level has a different track, which is nice. -While there are about 20 guns, there are only 10 spells. -The game gets a bit easy towards the end due to balance issues. None of these issues are too serious, except maybe for the last one, which made the game a little less tense and enjoyable for me during the last chapter. With the 'right' upgrades and stats, your character will be too overpowered. All in all, for $11, you could do much worse. Don't hesitate to grab this game if you have the slightest interest in retro shooters.
