Project Warlock Reviews

Fun old-school style shooter, easily worth the ~$3 I spent. Controls are good and it plays really well on my less-than impressive gaming laptop. Decent amount of content too I still have plenty of playtime left. Update: After reaching the midpoint of world three I am no longer able to continue. The game freezes when I try to load after pressing continue and it won't let me start a new game either. Real shame as the game was fun.

Totally inoffensive retro FPS. High point was definitely the Egypt portion of the game, everything else was extremely generic. While I wasn't actively NOT having fun, by the end of game, despite only being like 4 hours long I was rushing through the levels because I just kind of wanted the game to end. The dev blatantly runs out of enemy placement ideas at the last few maps and just starts spamming everything all at once as challenge Not terrible, not great, gets a little tedious at the end, could be worse.

Fun boomer-shooter. I hadn't noticed that you could scroll the weapon upgrades page, so I never upgraded anything besides my pistol and shotgun but still found the game quite easy on hardcore, never losing a life besides twice falling into lava. I'd ramp up the difficulty to make the game more fun, but it's fun as it is, too.

Finally was able to complete the achievs, but its really buggy and had to mess with the savefile for that, but finally its over. Now i can say that its a good game.

Solid old-school shooting and exploration. The game looks and runs great, and the shooting is impactful and fun. Epic boss fights too. It's not the longest game in the world, but for a debut indie this is extremely impressive!

A decent game and worth the fairly low asking price. A classic style shooter with a good amount of enemy and weapon variety. My only gripe is the map design - they're generally small and confusing, causing you to circle back on yourself at random until you wander to the spot you're able to go.

It was fun for 1-2 hours. I played on hardcore because I wanted a challenge. Some negative and positive points: - Becomes repetitive pretty quickly. It doesn't become more difficult as you progress. I didn't really feel the need of engaging in making a build, I just kept boosting my HP and ran through the maps like it was nothing. Boss fights were a joke, way too easy. The secret system was kinda meh, I just ended up spamming space beside the walls to find the secrets. Kinda pointless. The maps gets pretty boring quickly and you get lost easily. + Very nice gameplay. Moving around and killing enemies felt good. Cool look.

Great little boomer-shooter. Secrets, weapon upgrades, character upgrades, spells and spell upgrades, blood splatter, biomes, bosses and more. What's not to like? Unless you're an achievement hunter, it'll probably take about 6-10 hours tops, but at this price or on sale, it's worth it.

Pretty dang fun (if simplistic) up until the final boss fight. I swear OSHA needs to get some railings installed. Besides that, I do wish you were able to get all the upgrades in one playthrough instead of being locked out from trying out the other half. All that said, loved the combat and designs for all of the enemies. Excited to see how the sequel comes out!

An okay retro FPS that borrows heavily from Doom, Wolf 3D, Duke Nukem, Quake, Serious Sam etc.. And you will know by some of the hidden achievements. I started off really enjoying this game but it quickly became very tedious and uninspiring. The levels are extremely short and there are roughly 70 levels to complete. There are plenty of secrets to look for, but they are way too easy to find and a lot of the levels have most of the secrets near the beginning and all you do really is just spam the spacebar and some secrets require breaking a wall. Not very well thought out. There are 5 chapters which include a castle, frozen land, Egypt, a futuristic city and Hell (Doom cough cough). After you beat a couple of levels per chapter you get sent to your workshop where you can upgrade your weapons, spells and level up stats and perks. One of the few good things about this game is it has cool enemy design and animations, the weapons are fun to use and the gameplay is very smooth and fast-paced. The other negatives besides the very short and tedious levels and ugly level design is the music! The music is beyond generic and sometimes songs will overlap and sound mental. Also the game is EXTREMELY EASY! I played on the hardest setting and never died. Most of the bosses didn't even hit me once! This game is just way too easy and you beat most of it by using your sword and pistol. I also found that the spells were useless, except the shield for the final boss. This barely gets a recommendation, but I got it on sale and there are some positives and it does scratch that old-school shooter itch a bit. Hopefully the sequel will be much better than this.
