Fun game that could have been much more
Project Warlock is a fun game with a lot of variety and some great moments. Unfortunately, it is let down by the lack of story & puzzles, as well as poor audio and so-so level design. Pros: * Bosses are really good, they are huge, inventive, and multi-stage. There are 5, one for each episode, which is a lot for this type of game. * Enemy artwork is awesome. Many enemies are multi-stage and it's awesome to see them transform, limbs fall off, etc. All the enemies look very different from each other and they all look cool. * Game is pretty addictive, the levels are short enough that it really gives that "one more level" feeling. * A good diversity of environments. Antarctica and Hell in particular are fairly well done. Cons: * No story whatsoever. Yeah, story isn't the main focus in these games, but most Doom-clones at least had a few lines of lore to motivate the action. Without this the game feels like random stuff thrown at the wall instead of something coherent, and it's hard to feel excited about what is to come. * No puzzles. Most classic Doom-clones at least at a few puzzles to mix things up, like "hit the right combination of switches". In this game it's all shooting everything until it dies and picking up everything you see. Gets dull. * Mediocre level design. Unlike other reviewers, I don't have a problem with the levels being Wolf3D-like. Classics like Catacomb Abyss, H.U.R.L., Thor's hammer, etc. all had levels that were way better designed than this game. They understood that you needed to cultivate a real sense of place rather than just throw random textures and themed objects around. And they had bigger levels that fostered a sense of exploration. Egypt in particular is poorly done. * Sound and Music are awful. Music is just so important to a game like this, but this stuff is just generic metal/ambient that does nothing to set the mood or get the blood pumping. Enemies are always near-silent (even bosses!) which is a huge letdown.
