Fans of the voxel graphics style popularized by Minecraft ($6.99) in recent years, but who aren’t fans of the survival-crafting genre that accompanies such games, may want to keep an eye out for The Last Warlock. It looks like a Minecraft clone, but instead promises turn-based strategy-RPG gameplay with blocky heroes and landscapes. In this game, you control a warlock who can cast spells and summon creatures, fighting other warlocks, solving puzzles, and completing quests.
The game may play differently from your average survival crafting game, but some elements of the genre remain, as you can not only collect better loot, but also craft together better equipment and items to help you along. And of course, you can customize your warlock. The game will not only boast a single-player campaign, but also an asynchronous online multiplayer mode for up to four players. While developer Sonic Sloth doesn’t have much of a known track record, and they’re making an ambitious-sounding game, what’s the point of life if not to be optimistic about new things? Check out the forum thread for the game if you’re curious.
