Warlock

The Nicholas Cage of SNES games


Genre: action - gun

Publisher: Acclaim

Year: 1994

System: SNES


Gameplay Score: 1

Gameplay Notes:

Unbearably stiff controls. Far worse than the Genesis version. Long animation to shoot and can't move while shooting. Very laggy, again far worse than Genesis. Unreadable health meter Enemies pop out for cheap hits and have tiny hitboxes


Level Design Score: 1

Level Design Notes:

No clear objectives. First boss throws unavoidable damage. Horrible boss fight design which was much better on Genesis.


Theme Score: 0

Theme Notes:

weird setting - hero is a guy in a trenchcoat


Art Style Score: 1

Art Style Notes:

Ugly grainy graphics. Resolution and FPS are lower than Genesis version. The screen feels like it's zoomed in. What a terrible port.


Audio Score: 1

Audio Notes:

Music is similar to the Genesis version but with added layers which isn't necessarily a good thing. The sound effects are somehow worse than on the Genesis. Bad all around.


Overall Score: 19

Review ID: 673
