Pretty good little shooter.
Overall, I do have to say that Project Warlock is a pleasant treat to be had for people looking for retro styled games. The game plays like the old school shooters it odes to with some modern tweaking so gameplay isn't so stiff as it's source material. You play as the Lone Warlock, a mysterious magical gunslinger that's out to defeat the evil forces that plague the world. Traverse through a variety of locations ranging from medival castles, large industrial zones, sewers, graveyards, and more. Packed with secrets and various items to defeat all threats that cross your path. The guns and magic in the game feel good to use and don't overshadow each other. Using both adds some strategy to the game and makes things more interesting than just your standard fare grindhouse-esque shooting from start to finish. Where no brains are needed, just shoot whatever attacks you. The gameplay is fairly straight forward, shoot your way through level to level without dying. Upgrade your character to the playstyle of your choosing and defeat the boss of each episode. Pacing is just right where nothing overstays it's welcome and things move forward enough to keep things fresh. One thing I am in the middle on is the soundtrack. It's not bad, but it's rather random at times. Some of the songs feel out of place with certain parts of the game. IE, a dark gore filled dungeon has a happy theme to it. Not sure if that's apart of the games humor or just poor sound track design. But it's nothing too serious.
