AWESOMEoutof10's Fraser Brown enters a world filled with magic, giant goblins, heroes and villains, and bears with anti-wizard agendas. It's a bit weird. "Warlock 2 eschews so much of what one expects from a 4X game that it’s hard to believe that the series start off being a rather simple — though undeniably fun – Master of Magic-inspired romp. It isn’t a game of conquest and flooding maps with your influence, it’s a long, increasingly challenging journey across bizarre worlds where god-like beings, powerful wizards and inexplicably angry bears are trying to stop you from fixing the universe. There’s still a lot for me to fiddle around with. I haven’t buggered around in multiplayer, still need to take a peek at sandbox mode and the map editor won’t be ready until launch. But it’s already clear that this is one sequel that outperforms its predecessor in every conceivable way, building on a strong foundation and throwing in a slew of delightful surprises."
Dealspwn: "The Humble Store Winter Sale continues with some smart PC bargains."
Paradox Interactive today announced that “Wrath of the Nagas,” the new expansion for Warlock 2 that’s loaded with serpentertainment, is available worldwide for Windows PC and, for the first time, Mac and Linux. Wrath of the Nagas, which adds a new race of slithering sorcerers to the turn-based strategy wargame from Ino-Co Plus, is now available for $14.99 from digital retailers worldwide.
For the asking price of $29.99 there’s a lot to like if you enjoy strategy games in general. Owners of the original Warlock: Master of the Arcane game may be disappointed with the lack of new content, but newcomers to the series will be pleasantly surprised.
