Project Warlock II

“maybe not quite as good as the first but the variety in missions and playstyles is really appreciated.”
“If you enjoy Project Warlock 1 you should have fun with this game. The first one is still my favorite, but this one has some good overhauls added to it. You get 3 characters each with a different world and weapons.…”
“What an awesome sequel to the already awesome predecessor. Smooth, fun, replayable. Boomer shooter heaven!”

“This game is amazing, the moment to moment gameplay is top notch - the controls are tight and responsive, the weapons all feel unique (despite each character having essentially the same weapon pool) and each pack a…”
“Fast paced, key hunting, dungeon sprawling/crawling, numerous enemy types, weapons feel punchy and their upgrade paths provide some variety should you choose to use them. World design is great, atmosphere is great,…”
“Great game. Satisfying combat with an old school unforgiving nature. LOVE the sprite work, coupled with the sound design choices it all works so well. Great enemy identification and death sounds. I enjoyed playing…”

“Project Warlock 2 expands on the previous entry by making levels more elaborate, and in doing so level design and art direction can take the front seat. Every level is massive and interconnected, the end of the level…”

— a player, Steam review · 12 hrs played“Fun shooting. Play play play. Chapter 1- good Chapter 2- gooder Chapter 3- best I'm not the biggest fan of just swapping out weapons instead of reloading. And some of the boss fights are annoying overcrowded messes, but its a great fun game!!”
— a player, Steam review · 24 hrs played“Before the updates it was a fairly middling, if nice-looking shooter. Now, after the update, myself and several other users are stuck on a loading screen that won't move past 0%. Can't exactly recommend.”
