What you see is what you get... mostly.

Finishing it since I bought it took me about 11 hrs 30 mins according to GoG Galaxy. I've done all the achievements sans completing the game on easy or hardcore and possibly missed one hidden easter egg (wherefore art thou, Doomguy?). By the time I was done my Warlock was already able to spawn infinite ammo, hack twenty foot-tall demons with a single swing of an axe and the amount of chaingun fire I spat out almost gave me a seizure from all the muzzle flashing. They're not kidding with the epilepsy warning. Please be careful, you guys. My point being, it's a short game, but it is long enough to do what it meant to do. Any shorter would be too short, any longer would be overstaying its welcome. It's messy, it's fun, it's sometimes clumsy (the way the verticality in the levels was implemented is kind of silly, but eh, there never was meant to be one from the very start, ), it lets you live a crazy power fantasy of being an almighty gun-toting sorcerer bent on murdering possibly everything in its path to hell and beyond. A cool homage to shooters from early 90s, but it's also pretty good in its own right. That said, it's a little flawed - graphics tend to have weird glitches. The game tends to get so dark it's beyond unplayable (easy to fix with options provided within the menu, but still) and 2D sprites of humongous boss monsters clip in a silly way, especially when they are already dead. The trailer does show some scenes that were cut from the final game (like the Eldritch God appearing from under the ground - once you get to the arena, it's already there, no powerful entrance for you!) and, contrary to what the voiceover suggests, the Warlock is a silent progatonist - no cheesy oneliners. Don't consider Project Warlock as a game you will be playing for a long time. No. It's an experience, a nostalgia-driven power trip to the happier, simpler times. Enough for having some fun and going back to the present with some good memories. Seen as such it won't disappoint.

TL:DL: INSTANT CLASSIC

GoG allows only very short reviews which is BS...so I will keep it short. This is a very unique gem, has amazing amount of variety in monster, weapons, map design. Weapons upgrade system is full of meaningful choices not BS like borderlands had with gazzilion of weapons and 99,9% of them being garbage. Music also good, few tracks don't fit the game though. Atmosphere - when you first load up the skyscraper map - wow. Perk and stat system allowing you to further customize your character with magic on top. Multiple build available letting you replay the game over and over. Took me 5-6 hours to finish on first playthrough. Extremely well priced, paid 12USD,11EUR,10GBP - fantastic and you get OST for FREE! who does that for you these days with games like AC:O priced at 90GBP... Dev team interested in listening to the fan base and working on patches from day one. While we are on the dev, the guy behind it is 19 year old, can you imagine what he will brings us in the future? Support him! After the massive disappointment that Diablo 3 was I stopped buying pre-orders...only bought like DooM 2016, first 2 Tomb Raiders and some smaller things like Kingdom Rush games...this was an insta buy and will buy it on Steam the second its available to support the developer. Will buy this for friends too. Game receives excellent praise from big youtubers like ggmanlives and major publicists like Rock Paper Shotgun, Kotaku even John Romero approves! Stop reading this, go buy the game !!!

Everything I ever wanted and more.

I've followed this game's development since it first started, and so far it's better than I had ever anticipated. Awesome weapons and spells, sweet graphics, amazing music, and fun, challenging gameplay. It's like Wolfenstein meets Eye of the Beholder.

Retro FPS at it's Best

Project Warlock is a retro style shooter that is very reminiscent of Wolfenstein 3D and Doom, but more so Wolf3D. So if you're not a fan of Wolf3D, you're probably not going to like this. It starts off as a struggle for ammunition but you're equiped with an axe, a throwing knife and a magical staff. Then you gradually add a pistol and shotgun to your arsenal and it continues to grow from there. Some of the RPG-esque features are the perk system, upgrading of weapons and purchase of spells. With the perk system, you put points towards health, mana, ammunition capacity etc. and then every 5 levels you can pick a perk. Some perks have no requirements, where as others require you to put a certain amount of points towards a particular group before the perk will unlock. The weapon upgrades are pretty straight forward. Each weapon has two different possiblities, and once you've made a selection, you can't change. I found myself upgrading, testing and then reloading from the checkpoint the game creates whenever you come back to the Hub. Some upgrades are pretty cool, while others just aren't that great. As for purchasing spells, you unlock new spells as you find spell books throughout the levels. Once you've found a spell book, you can then purchase that spell in the Hub. The weapon upgrades and spells use the same "currency", so you won't be able to acquire everything. The varying weapon upgrades alone convinced me to playthrough this a second time. The game is challenging and fun, and modernises the Wolf3D formula really well. IMO this is to Wolf3D as DUSK is to Quake. It takes a classic and improves upon it while holding onto that classic vibe. Would love to see more games like this!

Project Warlock: A Gory Retro-FPS Treat

Full Video Review on 2 Headed Hero: https://youtu.be/EnIMr31yAZ8 Full Text Review on Topless Robot: https://www.toplessrobot.com/2018/12/project-warlock-is-a-gory-retro-fps-treat-backlog-txt.php Project Warlock hits all the right notes for a fan of old-school shooters like myself. I found it extremely compelling, to the point where I finished the entire campaign in about seven or eight hours. The arsenal's huge. The pure visceral feel of the weapons going off are some of the best in ANY twitch shooter I’ve recently played. The action is fast and frantic, and mistakes can cost you big time, but the challenge is generally fair. The game's sixty levels are compact switch and key hunts filled with bloody conflicts as you slap hellbeasts with buckshot. A leveling system and upgradeable weapons add a bit of modern flair to the oldschool shooting. A blood-pumping chiptune and metal soundtrack amps you up for the next gauntlet. The game's not perfect - there's a few sound effects that sound amateurish, and the game's overall very dark, making the light spell a necessity. This was addressed a bit in recent patches, however. The map can be a little hard to read, and some of the bosses are a huge difficulty spike. Still, despite a few minor complaints, Project Warlock is a bloody treat. Shooter fans should drop whatever they’re doing and play it. RIGHT. NOW.
