    Reviews

    Rock Paper Shotgun
    ”In the end, its single-minded focus on conflict is a strength, provided it isn’t too much of a barrier for your personal enjoyment, allowing for a streamlined and strangely effortless game of conquering and conjuring. ”
    "…a more interesting proposition than Civ with goblins."
    http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2012...e/#more-107511

    GKick – 9/10
    ”When it comes down to it, Warlock: Master of the Arcane is a superb strategy game that meets the needs of players of almost all skill sets. It makes for a great introduction to the turn-based strategy genre and it provides a fun, interesting backdrop for it. I can safely recommend it to anyone who has even the slightest bit of interest in the strategy genre and encourage people who are even a little on the fence about this game to at least try it out, you may find yourself pleasantly surprised.”

    StillatSpawn – Score: 8/10
    “Overall, Warlock: Master of the Arcane is a very solid strategy game, with a fun premise and excellent execution. It’s bright, vibrant settings and huge depth of customisation make for a game that is both enjoyable and fun to play. It is also forgiving to players who are new to strategy games, and the fact that there is no ‘right way’ to victory only adds to that.”

    Quarter to Three
    “If there’s one thing more lovely than watching an AI mount a competent defense, it’s watching the AI treat another AI player the same way it treats you. “

    Slim Gamer Score: 3,5/5

    ”In short Warlock: Master of the Arcane plays a lot like a game of Civilization but with magic and alternate dimensions. ”

    “I can see this game being a big hit for Paradox Interactive and it has rocketed right to the top of my “must have” list for 2012.”

    Game Reactor
    “What is very promising is the concept as such, and the sense that this is the kind of game you just want to sit down and play for a few hours or whenever the sun is due to rise up again.”

    Rock, Paper, Shotgun
    "Warlock has the potential to be incredibly special and has a huge audience-in-waiting but these last few months will be crucial. I’ll be scrutinising everything from here on in."

    RTS Guru

    "Warlock: Master of the Arcane looks like an interesting and imaginative take on the 4X genre. Its fantastical spin will appeal to those put off by the general historical and Sci-Fi setting of most likewise titles, whilst it will be familiar enough to those already interested in such games"
