Warlock: Tower Defence is a rather badly made, fairly generic tower defense game.
One important note is that even though this is an amateur project, it does seem to be sincerely and genuinely made. I couldn't find any flipped assets, plagiarism or any other kind of insincere actions from the developer, but unfortunately genuine intentions alone are not enough to produce a brilliant PC gaming experience.
There's a few problems with this TD before we get into the deeper technical defects. The UI basically sucks, it's a cludge with icons, not a lot of text (but you do get a page full of mediocre fanfiction writing before each level, hooray for that, it can be skipped immediately). So working out what does what or why you would want to place various towers is too much effort on the part of the gamer. Despite being low poly due to talent/budget limitations on the developer side, the UI is still weirdly cluttered despite nothing going on. This is why professional game developers hire graphic designers and artists I guess. You know, so they do the job properly.
On the upside, the game does feature customisable resolution and a couple of graphics tweaks (but not much), so at least some of the basic, minimum requirements have been met. Unfortunately there's a number of other technical defects and shortcomings which contribute to the game being difficult to recommend to gamers.
The game features lazy low-polygon "retro" assets, making this look like a barely functional 3D game from the mid 2000s. It's unclear why the developers weren't able to arrange high quality, high polygon count contemporary assets for the game, and also irrelevant... what matters is that this looks bad as a result of their decisions, a compromise PC gamers shouldn't have to put up with.
The poor quality of this game is reflected by how many people spent time with it. At the time of this review, SteamDB shows the all-time peak player number was only 2 players. This is a remarkably low number, and now, the only player activity occurs once or twice a month, presumably someone loading it up to see what it is then quickly uninstalling it. Considering there's over 120 million gamers on Steam and well over 100,000 games for gamers to choose from, the overwhelming lack of interest in this low quality game is to be expected.
Warlock: Tower Defence is relatively cheap at $3 USD, but it's not worth it. Given the defects and quality issues with the game, coupled with the unrealistic price, this is impossible to recommend. You can get the Kingdom Rush games cheaper on app stores, and it's a better experience. Games don't exist in a vacuum. This is also competing with over 9,000 free games available on Steam, many of them far better than this paid product.
Avoid at all costs. Started once (review for that play time below) then refuses to start again. Starts to start up, then quits out, over and over. And yes, the files all validated. Getting my money back.
Very basic, sub-par tower defense game.
I have only played eleven minutes in, but the first five levels all have the exact same map, and it isn't an interesting one either.
There are eight towers that look different, apparently elemental in nature, that do different damage, but if they have any special abilities, like a slowing effect of an area attack, there is no explanation of this anywhere. And there aren't many places to look.
FYI, nothing explains this in the game, but towers cost 100 to build, and they upgrades start at thirty and go up by ten for each additional level. I have only gone up four of five, and I am not sure what the cap is, if there is one, but all it does is increase the numerical values of things like damage, range and rate of fire.
No way to give this one a thumbs up. On the plus side, it does seem to work, but that is the only plus.
NOTE: It wouldn't take much to move this in to the positive range for me, tower defense that works is already a bit better than most, but as is, thumbs down.
Even a simply glossary would be helpful, and really simply to add, but no, nothing.
It does have a story, which is nice I guess, an easy addition that can add a lot to a game for minimal effort, and a lot of games don't take the time, so kudos for that I guess.
Let me in once - not particulary impressed although I was just feeling my way.
Game now hanging on startup - hopefully a patch is coming quickly, otherwise I will refund.
