Project Warlock Free Download GAMESPACK.NET Originally released on PC back in October of 2018 and the brainchild of high school student Jakub Cislo – who saw his game through several early iterations before putting together the small team that make up Buckshot Software in order to get things polished to the standard we see here – Project Warlock is very obviously a true labour of love; a painstakingly crafted tribute to the retro first-person shooters such as DOOM, Wolfenstein and Heretic that Cislo was first introduced to by his father. This is a straight-up old school experience; a brutal, bloody strafe-fest with great big meaty weapons and hordes of hellish abominations that looks fantastic and runs flawlessly in both docked and handheld modes on Switch. What Buckshot Software has created here easily deserves a seat at the very same table as the classic games that inspired it, and instantly jumps right on to our list of highly recommended Switch FPS experiences. In Project Warlock, you assume the role of a hard-boiled sorcerer badass who’s on a po-faced mission to rid four different periods of Earth’s history from rampaging demonic hordes before facing off against the game’s big bad end boss in the fiery wastes of Hell.TOP/BEST ADULT VIDEO GAMES IN UNITED STATES OF AMERICA (USA)

As far as stories go, and very much in keeping with the games from which it borrows; the narrative here is wafer-thin and some pretty generic flavour text at the end of each of the game’s five zones is all you’ll get in this regard. Of course, nobody comes to a retro FPS looking for some sort of nourishing cinematic experience; we want guns and guts and we want plenty of them, and in this regard, Project Warlock delivers in spades. The five differently-themed areas that you’ll traverse through are stuffed to the brim with all manner of ghoulish hellspawn to stab, hack, burn and blast to tiny little pieces as you return each and every one of them to the foulness from whence they came. The first area, Medieval, kicks things off in pretty generic retro shooter fashion with its imposing stone castles, dank sewers and dark prisons, before the game begins to stretch its legs quite impressively in terms of colour palette, level design and enemy types across the four episodes that follow. There’s all manner of Lovecraftian beasts, ancient Egyptian terrors, high tech robotic foes and hellish abominations to do battle with here as you journey through an impressive mix of locations, with the frigid tundra of Antarctica giving way to the cursed temples of ancient Egypt and the crumbling cityscape of the Industrial zone before you descend into the inky red chaos of Hell itself.

60 levels.

There’s a great mix of enemies here too, and your warrior warlock is armed with an excellent array of satisfyingly punchy weapons with which to rip and tear them to pieces. You’ll start out with nothing much more than an axe and a shiv, but before long you’ll have access to all the usual shooter suspects with a pistol, shotgun, dynamite, crossbow, SMG, warlock staff, minigun and plenty more besides that you’ll find hidden throughout stages. As you play through the game you’ll earn upgrade points which you can pump into these weapons to further enhance them. For example, you may choose to add extra power to your shotgun or perhaps give it an autoloader to vastly improve its reload time. Your Magnum pistol can be turned into a nifty flare gun that sets fire to enemies, reducing them to neat little piles of ash, and your warlock staff can be imbued with ice damage to freeze your foes in place. All the weapon variations feel great to use and there’s a surprising amount of detail in how enemies become increasingly more deformed, losing limbs and gradually falling apart as you shred them to pieces.Lake PC

Alongside his hefty selection of weapons, your warlock also has a raft of magical capabilities that can be unlocked by procuring spells in and around stages and then activating them – for a points cost – back in your workshop between rounds. There are a bunch of pretty cool powers on offer; we made most use of the freezing blast, storm rage and a holy guard that creates a temporary barrier around your warlock. However, the magic side of things does feel like the least well-executed element of the combat. The various powers at your disposal aren’t bad by any means; they just don’t come off as feeling particularly satisfying or necessary to making progress, and you can easily blitz through the game without activating any of them – especially on normal difficulty – and instead use your points to fully upgrade all of your guns. Beyond your spells and weapons, you’ll also earn points to pump into strength, life, spirit and capacity stats whilst gradually unlocking a bunch of perks which make you heal quicker, gain XP faster, sprint at a lightning pace (perfect for the inevitable speedruns) and so on. The RPG systems are incredibly light here and don’t get in the way of the straightforward nature of the satisfyingly slick shooting action.

72 enemies.

But it’s certainly a nice addition to have the opportunity to mess around with slightly different builds of your hero on return runs through the game. In terms of difficulty, even in normal mode Project Warlock gets off to a pretty tough start as you struggle to fend off the hell-tide with nothing more than a knife, axe and weak lightning attack; however, once you get some meatier weapons and level-up your strength and HP, you may actually find that things become almost a little too straightforward. We found ourselves strafing in a blind panic and dying lots of times during the thrilling opening chapter, but then blasted through stages rather quickly from the second world onwards. We reckon, especially if you’re an experienced fan of the genre, that sticking this one on hard mode keeps things much more challenging over the course of proceedings. Bosses too, excepting the very final one, aren’t a particularly big hurdle unless you bump up the difficulty, and even then they really don’t require much more thought or tactics than strafing in a circle whilst emptying every single bit of ammo you’ve got into your enemy. To quote John Carmack, “Story in a game is like a story in a porn movie. It’s expected to be there, but it’s not that important.” Project Warlock lives by that philosophy and immediately kicks you into some action. There is a semblance of plot about the main character, a Warlock, trying to stop demons invading from hell.Dragon Age II

but like all the classic shooters of the ‘90s, that takes a backseat to the gameplay. While you could try to piece together bits of lore from your surroundings, the main thing you’ll be doing in Project Warlock is shooting demons and blowing them to bits. It’s very refreshing to have such a minimalist approach to game design, especially since it lets the actual gameplay do the talking instead of NPCs. No need to worry about the plight of humanity when you have keys to find and doors to open. Project Warlock is divided up into episodes much like id Software’s older work, but the way you progress through them is pre-determined. You won’t have a choice in what levels you go to next, but you also won’t need to play through the entirety of an episode before it’s over. After however many levels are in your bracket (two, three, or four), you’ll get kicked back to your workshop to focus on weapon/magic upgrades and stat points. Project Warlock features an incredibly light experience and upgrade system. By killing enemies and collecting gold in levels, you’ll earn XP that you can put towards stat boosts. Along with that, exploring each level and discovering secrets will often lead you to upgrade tokens, which you can spend on your weapons or spells. That system is where Project Warlock begins to differentiate itself from the past. You could completely ignore all of this and play the game exactly like Wolfenstein 3D, but with those upgrade tokens.

38 weapons.

You can learn powerful spells that live up to the game’s title, or transform your weapons into different types. My personal favorite upgrade was taking the double-barrel shotgun and turning it into a flak cannon, which brought up some Unreal Tournament memories for me. In my playthrough, I focused entirely on my arsenal instead of spells, but the fact that the game even allows you the option makes for some diverse combat scenarios. The only blemish on the system is that for weapon upgrades, you have no chance to test the changes before you buy them. I was really enticed by the prospect of a nailgun, for instance, but then I learned its shots ricochet off of walls and they end up hitting you in tight corridors. It basically ruined my SMGs and I was stuck with them. The spells are more straightforward, having only a single option, but I never felt like I was missing out on skipping them. I suppose that could be seen as a flaw, but their descriptions did sound handy. One spell, for instance, doubled the damage on everything in the game world, which could prove useful during some of the boss encounters. However you go about killing your enemies, there are roughly 60 levels for you to explore through. Each episode has a specific theme to it, so you’ll constantly be exploring new areas that flow together naturally. The level design is all flat with no hills or heightened terrain, which sounds like a real disaster when written out.

Somehow, Buckshot Software has taken that limitation and used it to create some truly incredible labyrinths. The main thing that stops Project Warlock from feeling like the same thing over and over is that there are distinguishing features to each level. Looking at its inspiration, Wolfenstein 3D can become a slog since every level looks the same with almost no variation between them. In Project Warlock, there are not only differing themes but specific structures and set dressing to help steer you towards the goal. One man and his guns. Become a mysterious Warlock who embarks on a dangerous mission to eradicate all evil. Put your finger on the trigger and travel through time and space to wreak havoc like in the golden days of fast-paced, adrenaline-pumping first-person shooters, hooking you for hours of super fun carnage. Let’s rock and roll! Explore 60 vast levels in five settings, from frozen Antarctic base to the sands of Egypt to the medieval castles’ courts and graveyards. Find keys to unlock passages, reveal secret caches with ammo and gold, use lifts and hidden buttons to access new areas. Finally descend to hell to face the ultimate challenge and emerge victorious.

The pixel art screams its retro aesthetic at you as you explore the 3D environments that look like they were assembled with ray-casting. However, one flick of the analog stick will tell you otherwise, which had me quickly locking the Y-axis.Osiris New Dawn
