No AI, just swarms.

This game is devoid of any AI. It is just a bunch of trip wires. You walk into a room to a point where it will set it off and everything comes running at you at once. You run out, stay to the side of the door, and just pick them off as they come running out one by one. Some rooms are larger with a second trip wire, I got bored with it and started fooling around ... like how close can I get to the rocket launching mummy standing directly in front of me before he gets activated. I got to the 3rd world or whatever you want to call it and just got bored with it. I paid full price for this title and regret it, I wouldn't even buy it on sale. Sadly this is a grave mistake by Dev's nowadays. They feel they have to put loads of content in, killer graphics and sound. And to hell with any AI or playability (ya know the stuff that really matters). This is one of those games that could have been a keeper, but the Dev messed that up. Playability people!! Frustratingly hard because the enemy is actively engaging me!! Took me almost a year or more to beat it!! That's what makes a REAL classic, which this in it's current state is not. Sprites are very basic to the point even the enemies always face you (no 8 directional billboard sprites here) , old school Doom and Wolf 3D are still more advanced than this with the illusion of 3D. If I was the Dev I would put it back into early access, fix it up properly, and re-release it. RECODE. Something a retro title couldn't do back in the day. Show ownership! It might be shameful at first but you will get more respect later for it. Hey Dev, play Wolf 3D spear of destiny floor 2. Every time you play they engage you different. The longer you run the game the smarter they get, even loading from a save state. Listening to doors open and close as they position themselves to get you. Constantly checking your 6 so one doesn't' come up behind you and shoot you in the back of the head. It's frustrating...and that's the point, that's a classic.

Very fun old-school FPS

Project Warlock is a homage to Wolfenstein 3D, Hexen and other old-school shooters. The gameplay is simple, but fun. The levels are kinda short, but there are 60 of them, spread into 5 worlds with different themes. After each chapter (2-3 levels) the game is saved in the workshop, where you can upgrade your arsenal, buy spells and distribute your stats. Yes, there is no quicksave feature, but the game is not difficult (except for a few bosses), and the levels are a few minutes long, so it didn't bother me. The weapons are great, and each has two variants, which turns them into completely different weapons (for example you can upgrade your energy weapon into a railgun OR a rapid fire energy weapon). All looks and feels very cool. The graphics - as expected - is pixelated, but very stylish. The spritework is simply amazing! Only good can be said about the sound effects too - the weapons sound great, and all has that "punch" to them. The music is cool too, and what is more respectable, that every single level has a unique track! That's a lot of music! (The soundtrack is included with the game). The game is not long (I finished it under 6 hours on hard difficulty), but it has great replay value with all the different guns and builds. Personally I didn't use much of the spells, only 3 of them, but it's possible to make a mage build, where you can utilize them, or go melee if you want. I preferred to go guns blazin', so spent the upgrade points on the weapons. The levels are flat, Wolf3D like mazes, but not very complex, so it's hard to get lost. The maps are filled with secret rooms and easter eggs (paying homage to Blood, Duke Nukem, Doom and more). Project Warlock is a fast and fun shooter with stylist visuals and good replay value. Not expensive either, so definitely recommended for any shooter fan.

A Truly Modern Retro Shooter

Project Warlock is a blast to play, and not just for nostalgia. On the surface, it looks like one of the homages to classic 90's shooters that has become a bit standard these days: a Heretic/Doom to Dusk's Quake, if you will. To be fair, the level design is deliciously retro, even more so than I anticipated. The structure of maze-like (though not to the point of confusion) levels with treasures hidden behind secret doors reminds me more of Wolfenstein, Blake Stone, or Corridor 7 even more than Doom/Heretic. The episodic game structure also evokes adventures of the DOS era, with each chapter featuring different environments and enemies. What really makes a video game good, though, is the gameplay, and that is where Project Warlock truly shines. The greatest strength of Project Warlock, I think, is its flexibility. Players can specialize their upgrades and loadouts to satisfy a very wide variety of playstyles. Throughout the game players will receive points which they can use to upgrade different aspects of their character, magical spells, or weapons. Every weapon and power in this game is satisfying to use, and all weapons can be upgraded to completely change the weapon. The basic pistol, for example, can be upgraded to be a .50 monster that does immense damage (at the cost of consuming more ammo) or to be a flare gun that can set groups of enemies on fire. Or, you could ignore all weapon upgrades and spend all of your upgrade points on spells that range from defensive barriers that block damage to freezing blasts that turn enemies to solid (shatterable) ice statues to floating orbs that blast nearby enemies with lightning. There is a great deal to unlock and many different methods of play with which to experiment, all wrapped in a relatively fast-paced, retro-style corridor shooter. What's not to love?

Разочарование из прошлого

Я получил все ачивки, суммарно нашёл все секреты, и прошёл игру трижды, включая режим хардкор. И я считаю что она очень плоха. Её никто не балансил на высоких сложностях, и именно на этих уровнях сложности видно, что разработчик свою игру не тестил. Огромный урон от демониц первого эпизода, бесшумные спавны мышей у тебя за спиной, бочки и огнемёт, поджигающие не врагов, а главного героя, идиотский баланс оружия. Вот есть у нас узи, которое мы находим в первом эпизоде. Его можно сделать парным - но тогда упадёт точность, и стрелять им можно будет только в упор. А еще можно переделать узи в гвоздемёт - и офигеть, потому что он рикошетит, и его рикошеты наносят гг урон. А в третьем эпизоде можно найти миниган, и сделать из него лучшее оружие в игре - болтер, который полностью уничтожает необходимость в узи. Ближний бой и магия - чистый рудимент, который нужен только для расширения куцой прокачки. Качайте живучесть и выносливость. Хотя о чём это я... Не играйте в Варлока! А на нормале - это просто тир. Монстры невероятно тупые, у них нет особенностей, харизмы или особых фич, кроме одной. Многие сильные монстры после гибели перерождаются в виде более слабых вариаций, и это можно предотвратить уроном от огня - и то не у всех. Секреты искать скучно, стрелять скучно, а после хорошей второй главы начинается Египет, который состоит из кишок-коридоров, где непонятно куда идти и на что жать. Кровь убитого монстра может запросто закрыть собой нужную кнопку, и тогда вы застрянете надолго. А потом в финальной главе вы должны будете пройти аццкий Египет, где появляются ямы, мгновенно убивающие игрока - самая отвратительная идея в игре. Да и в целом - это просто очень слабая игра. Не верьте хорошим оценкам - люди скорее всего не играли дальше первой или второй главы. Она скучная и кривая, и за два года она не изменилась. Игру сделал один человек - что похвально, но сделал он плохую игру, и за эти годы так её и не улучшил. Очень жаль. Это не олдскул - это просто плохой шутер.

It's real good.

This game has some performance issues. I find turning the visual effects to the lowest setting works. The menus also have some weird glitches, but nothing that ever soft locked me. And I've had to restart levels a couple times due to secrets being opened, but not counting them as discovered. Despite all that, this one is real good. If you like retro throwback games, you owe it to yourself to play this one. If you haven't tried out any old first person shooter games, this one is a really good introduction to the genre. It's not too difficult on normal, but it provides enough resistance to be a lot of fun. Hard mode has fast enemies, so if you're an fps veteran you'll enjoy that. The soundtrack is 10/10 midi style music, can't recommend it enough. Adds a lot of energy to the game. Big props to this developers first game, highly enjoyable and replayable. Also Storm Rage is the actual BFG of the game, don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
