We reviewed the excellent Project Warlock back when it made its PC debut, praising it for going beyond simple retro visuals to present a very cool first-person shooter. Where every nod to Quake or Doom was met with an equally cool tip of the cap to the sort of 8-bit NES action found in something like Contra. And now Project Warlock is headed to consoles.
June 9 it hits PlayStastion 4, June 11 on Nintendo Switch, and June 12 on Xbox One. Here's the console announcement trailer to give you a taste of the action.
The game tells the tale of the Warlock, a mysterious preacher tasked with a quest to rid the world of the invading forces of evil. Diving head-first into an inferno of bullets, claws, and fangs he has to slash and shoot his way through hordes of blood-thirsty demons, un-holy monsters, and deadly machines. Traversing through 60 levels set in 5 distinct domains the player will come across secret areas, ammo caches, hidden buttons, and elevators leading to more danger. It’s crucial to make good use of the 38 guns and 8 spells in the arsenal, choosing the right upgrades to get the most out of each playstyle and developing the character with every fight to bring out his full potential.
Like young musicians employing 1980s production techniques, or filmmakers creating period pieces in settings and timeframes that they recall from a picture or film, Project Warlock is a wild ride of inspiration and the execution of solid first-person combat.
For fans of classic shooters and fast-paced FPS action this is definitely one to check out.
