In fact, I’d argue that Warlock -almost- feels like a blown up 4x version of a game like Master of Monsters or Dark Wizard or even Advance Wars at times. This is a game where you’ll spend far more time fighting than developing or exploring. ![]() For all the borrowed elements from deep, long, ambitious games, Warlock just isn’t meant to be played with that sort of scale or attitude. This all boils down to an interesting truth about Warlock: it’s basically a 4x-lite game. The game comes across as far more about combat and exploration than, say, Civ 5, and less about RPG elements and tactical combat than Master of Magic and its ilk.

I look forward to get more information on this one as soon as possible. This pre-alpha demo looks very clean and combat looks awesome, and sounds promising gameplay-wise too. Of course, this isn’t so surprising though, as both HoMM and AoW series were heavily influenced by Steve Barcia’s Master of Magic. But, wait a minute… if I didn’t know what game this was my best guess would be that a new Heroes of Might & Magic game was in the works :) The book separators, the spell book itself, the loot, the mines, the complete look and feel actually.
