Better than expected. Actually quite fun.
This is a diamond in the rough. It is fun as it is now, but every time I play it, I can think of a hundred things i would have added to it. It plays like a proto-type of a really awesome idea for a game. It borrows ... Read Full Review

Excellent old school turn-based strategy game, reminds me of Master of Magic and Age of Wonders
Just started playing this game and I am already addicted! It's a proper old school turn-based strategy game, which borrows heavily from such classics as Civilization, Age of Wonders and my old favorite Master of Magic. ... Read Full Review

One of the best turn-based strategy games in years.
What if Sid Meier's Civilization V was not based on the long term, historical progression of a nation, but instead revolved around a powerful mage leading his empire to victory through might and magic? Paradox's Warlock:... Read Full Review

Reminded Master of Magic
I'm a long time fan of turn base strategy games. Ever since the first Civilization I tried to play most of strategy games that came out. In my opinion the golden age of those games was the mid and late 90'th when civiliz... Read Full Review

It passes the time, but I would hardly call this a challenging game.
Am not writing a full review for this, because there are plenty of other reviews. I am scoring it just above average as in a mindless sort of way it does deliver and pass the time. Having played these sort of games fo... Read Full Review

Civ meets Majesty2
First off this is one of my dream games. If you want a Civ style game within a fantasy setting, that is turn based and promotes combat focused gameplay over creating a vast empire through peaceful colonization, then th... Read Full Review

Looks an play like Civ V, but the spells and fantastic setting are great for a more fun and relaxed experience.
First, let's put it out in the open - Warlock: Master of the Arcane was build on an engine that is VERY similar to Civilization V engine. I don't know if it was a copy or not (since hex based turn based strategy is not e... Read Full Review

Seems like a Civ5 rip-off but turns out to be something very different and refreshing. More than meets the eye!
I had been following the development of this game for a few months. I'm a hardcore Civ player since Civ3 and played these games to death so when I saw there was a "Civ5 clone" in the works in a fantasy setting to boot, I... Read Full Review

If you are too young for MoM, it is your chance now.
First of all, forget the reviews that compares this to Civilization. This game was not meant to be civilization copy, this game is the long waited successor of Microprose's grossly underrated Master of Magic. If you l... Read Full Review

My shortest summary ever: Civ light!
Warlock cannot deny to be a copycat of the famous Civilization series of games, but this is perfectly OK since Sid "borrowed" massively from the original board game as well. What makes Warlock worth reviewing - and ma... Read Full Review
