Project Warlock II

Project Warlock 2 is what happens when Doom, Quake, and a heavy metal album have a child… then hand it way too much coffee. Every weapon feels like it’s angry at your enemies’ entire family tree, and the explosions are so over-the-top they’re probably visible from space. The only downside? Half the game is spent blasting demons, and the other half is asking, “Wait… where’s the exit?” Still, if you love fast-paced boomer shooters with buckets of gore and enough firepower to violate several Geneva Suggestions, this one absolutely delivers.

let me cut to the chase: you enjoyed the first game this will likely be no different. it has extremely satisfying gameplay, lots of variety for weapons (+ their upgrades) and the warlocks themselves are really cool. i like their concepts and especially the third one, the demoness. so i would end it here and recommend you to get it, but i will list some caveats i would like to be fixed that you should watch out for. please note i played on the Steam Deck. - all of the story based text feels very much like it was written using ChatGPT. the stereotypical tropes such as using rule of three, em-dashes and such are present and it left me with a slightly sour taste in my mouth; the first game didn't have this. - the performance can tank. sometimes a LOT. which is weird considering the console can withstand more than this. it can dip to 30's and sometimes even less if enough things overload the resources. - weapon balancing feels off especially for Urd; ie. her revolver is super weak then if you upgrade it to the shotgun revolver thing it gets extremely overpowered, her ballista/crossbow is underpowered and the projectiles don't seem to home towards targets properly. i'd say the other warl…

The game is bad. The only thing that this game does better than the first is the shooting. Right after playing the first three levels i was so disappointed, the level design was very bad, there is nothing interesting that made me wanna continue playing it and it was worse than a chore. I FORCED myself to play the game, which beats the whole point of playing a game to have fun. Everything was boring and just meh, there was no reason for me to play. if i didn't buy the game i would've uninstalled it. I just fell for the sunk cost fallacy. Just because i payed money and invested time in the game shouldn't have been a reason for me to continue playing it, but the trap is the more time you spend the stronger the pull of this irrationality becomes. The levels were really bad and confusing, it just felt like they wanted to make the levels fun to play like a puzzle but instead they just made them big (first 14 levels only). IT IS HELL to play through them and its just super repetitive, there is no new ideas. There is multiple doors, most of them are locked, i find a key, open one door, get a key for the other door and so on until you open the last door and find the exit, and that is it. A…

7/10 generally improves on the first instalment but feels a little unsatisfying in some ways. Not much in way of narrative either but with a decent sound track. The graphics have improved whilst keeping the essential style from the 1st game. Decent amount of weapons for each of the characters and nice variety of enemies across the chapters, with several variants of each. The automatic hard mode half way through each campaign keeps things interesting without being unfair. Combo and locational hit mechanics are fine, though you will often feel like a yoyo. As your health will suddenly go from full to running back to the level start, desperately looking for health. Big improvement on the level design with the addition of jumping and more verticality. But it's also a bit janky in places because of the jumping, as I managed to avoid key locked doors and get into secrets by cheating a few times on each chapter. Plus the levels actually feel like what they are called, rather than just being 'video game level 3'. Like if it's called "Old person cruise ship", "Discount Femboy warehouse" or "Sweaty Furry convention" then that's what it looks like. (Sadly, none of those examples exist, mayb…

Really enjoyed this, had it cooking for some time in my library and went back to as of late, and wow, I am late to the partaaaay!! This was a blast, if you loved the 1st game, I guarantee you'll love this :D Some areas of this game are absolute chaos and it's awesome :D big thumps up!

i love this game
