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\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n<p>Starting work on the game back in high-school, Jakub Cis\u0142o, had little experience and even less funding. Thanks to his passion for retro games seeded by his dad; a successful Kickstarter campaign; and talented artists he brought to the team, 4 years later, Project Warlock is launching on consoles to offer a mix of classic 90s action with all the features of a modern shooter in the XXI century.<\/p>\n<p>Key Game Features:<br \/>&#8211; Unleash your righteous fury by slashing, shooting and casting spells as the Warlock<br \/>&#8211; Explore over 60 vast levels in five settings, from a frozen Antarctic base to the burning sands of Egypt<br \/>&#8211; Combat tons of enemies from flying demons to five-story tall robots, splashing walls and floors with their guts and chunks<br \/>&#8211; Collect and develop your favourite gear and master the vast arsenal of 38 weapons<br \/>&#8211; Develop your hero the way you like. Upgrade spells and weapons to create your unique character<br \/>&#8211; Get lost in 62 unique musical tracks, tailored specifically to boost the retro feeling<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><\/blockquote>\n<p>Let us know if you plan to pick this up next month with a comment below.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[embedded content] Fans of classic fast-paced FPS games of the &#8217;90s are in for a treat as Project Warlock is coming to the Switch on 11th June.
