Play Warlock Online

Warlock came out on the Sega Genesis in 1994, developed by Realtime Associates. It was one of those action platformers that felt right at home on the system, mixing fantasy and a bit of that early 90s edge. You play as a young wizard tasked with stopping an evil warlock from tearing the world apart, which was a pretty straightforward setup for the time.

You control the apprentice, moving screen by screen through castles, forests, and dungeons. Your main goal is to gather pieces of a magical amulet before the warlock can complete his own. You attack with a basic magic shot, but the real strategy comes from finding and using different elemental spells, like fireballs or ice blasts, to handle specific enemies. The pacing is fast, and the difficulty can spike sharply, especially when dealing with enemies that require precise hits or certain spells to defeat. It feels tense and a little unforgiving, but landing a perfect spell on a tough monster is always satisfying.
