Warlock: Der Ketzer
dungeon crawler game for Commodore 64, 2026
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Die Heilige Gottheit has opened a portal in your realm, and his monsters are
pouring in. It is up to you, der Ketzer, to put a stop to his plans.
Imagine a first-person RPG shooter, but top-down...and you get Warlock: Der
Ketzer. Note, this is not a rogue-like game. The maps are handcrafted (not
procedurally-generated), and there is no "permadeath". It is like playing
Heretic but from above, with RPG elements thrown in.
