Warlock - A top down action slasher by Haplo is previewed for the C64

A fresh preview titled Warlock has just been released for the Commodore 64, courtesy of the talented developer Haplo, who previously created great games like Shift and Tenebra. This upcoming project reimagines the intense, atmospheric energy of classic first-person fantasy shooters like Heretic, but flips the perspective into a top-down view. Shunning modern procedural trends which are common with games like this, the developer confirms this is not a rogue-like experience. Instead, players will navigate meticulously handcrafted maps without the looming threat of permadeath, offering a structured, intentional approach to exploration and combat.
