Rapid-fire Warlock

"If it moves, shoot it!" This was golden rule for all shooters from the early 90's and the same applies here. Positives: - Fast paced action that focuses on quick thinking and quick reflexes; - 60 levels spread across 5 distinct environments. A level takes up to 5-10 minutes to complete, so it's short & sweet. Each environment comes with its own set of enemies; - Visually pleasing enemies, their sprites and animations give them a "cute" look. Some are clearly inspired from 80's movies such as "The Thing, Robocop, The Terminator"; - Good soundtrack, reminiscent of the old Doom music; Negatives: - Limited lives. I can't understand why the developers would want you to lose all your progress. Just play the game on EASY, where you have unlimited lives. Not to worry, even on easy mode the game quite challenging; - No save/load system. If you stop playing, you need to start the level all over again. Worse, in some cases you'll need to replay several levels you previously finished. This is so infuriating, I ended up using cheats to teleport myself to where I previously left off; Project Warlock is one of the better retro-shooters out there, though it's held back by a couple of bad design decisions. (On a side note, many reviewers have complained about the brightness, that it's too dark to see anything. I'm happy to report this has been FIXED with a patch and now the brightness level is just right)

My favorite shooter by far

Bought this game years ago; I beat it at least once or twice a year now. Very well done; Some boss battles are rough and some levels are a bit dull, but overall very good experience. Soundtrack is great; weapon upgrade system is good, but some weapons have options that are noticeably worse than the counterpart; weapons feel impactful. Magic lacks offensive spells and melee lacks options. Both melee and magic work as occasional support tools instead of viable builds. This game is quite simple, but it has character. Easily my favorite FPS.

Fun retro FPS

A fun retro FPS. Visuals are nice and sound is good. Aint much of a story, just some text at the end of chapters to move you along between zones. Gameplay is pretty nice. Each zone has a variety of enemies, even though some of them may be reskins with similar abilities to previous ones. There are 5 chapters and all end with a boss. I think some bosses could have been done better, but overall they were alright. Last boss is pretty chunky, so be prepared to shoot at him for a while. Level design seems alright. yet somehow I felt it could have used more variety. There are secret rooms in levels, but often you need to mass click the space bar in order to find them as there are no visual indicators for them. There are rooms where you need to shoot a hole through, but usually there are some visuals cues for those. I think these could have been done somewhat better. There is a decent variety of weapons in the game, as well as spells. You can earn collect upgrade points to specialize in them. You also gain levels and can upgrade your character in ways that also shows specialization. Beat the campaign in 6 hours in normal. Its a pretty good product for the asking price, so if you want some shooting fun, go for it.

Une bonne surprise

Alors celui là je l'attendais depuis un bon moment, les premiers screens (ceux post cataclysm 3D) me mettaient l'eau à la bouche et le premier trailer encore plus, une véritable Madeleine de Proust se tenait devant moi. Je vais la faire courte, le jeu à pas mal de petits défauts mais il est sacrément fun et satisfaisant à jouer: La DA combinant pixel art et effets de lumière moderne fonctionne à merveille, les sprites sont beaux et très bien animés (malgré un stuttering horrible dont j'attend le patch rapidement) quant aux décors on reste sur du correct sans plus. Niveau gameplay on est bien, c'est dynamique mais peut être un chouya trop simple, en gros le gameplay ne se renouvèle pas et ce n'est pas le léger aspect rpg qui change la donne: les sorts sont inutiles et les stats anecdotiques, on garde en revanche les upgrades d'armes qui elles sont vraiments interressantes. On reprochera globalement au jeu une difficulté inexistante (sauf en hardcore), une optimisation aux fraises (VITE LES PATCHS), un level design un peu plat bien que s'étoffant au fil des episodes et une bande son oubliable exception faite pour le sound design des flingues qui retranscrit une vrai patate. Donc oui Project est un bel hommage aux FPS à papa avec un bon feedback à la DooM, un level design wolfensteinesque (qui passe ou qui casse en fonction des gouts) mais qui trébuche sur ces idées plus modernes qui n'apporte pas grand chose. Mais venant d'un dev de 19 ans pour qui c'est le premier jeu et qu'il coupte 11€, ça vaut le coup de soutenir et de voir ce qu'il nous proposera ensuite.

Good gameplay bland level design

tldr: Solid gameplay but boring level design and sounds/music. This game is fun. First and foremost it feels like Hexen or Heretic. The guns remind me of the weapons form both of the previously mentioned and Doom. But that is where I have to stop the comparisons. id had the best level design back in the day. They put together complex mazes that felt rewarding to explore. They filled them with traps and baddies and gave you more than enough ammo to deal with any problem you may come upon. Project Warlock's level are flat and boring. There are secrets to be found, but it is the same "off" textures to find them. I have yet to come across a puzzle, I am only in the second world at this typing. With fun gameply, level design needs to be done well in order to match. This game does not have it. The sound effects and music are hit and miss. I like the sounds of the guns and spells, but dislike that of the hero. They sound very muddled. The music is very bland and forgettable. What this game does well in my opinion are the guns, spells and leveling. Just like FPS of old, you find your armaments in the wild. The same holds true for spells. The only difference between the two is using them. The guns are automatically in your inventory. Spells on the other hand have to be unlocked with points at the hub. These points are also used to upgrade your guns. That being said, there are a finite number of these points to find. So, choose carefully. Your player can level up as you wipe out the beastiary and collect valuables. Each level gained yeilds a skill point that you can, inturn, spend on one of four attributes. Every five skill points awards a perk-point. I believe there are 10 or 12 perks you can choose form to augment your play style.
