Product Description
Warlocked is a fantasy real-time approach (RTS) game that focuses on resource collecting, unit building, exploring, and battling between two bitter rivals: humans and beasts. Gamers can choose to play on one side or the other, each housing a dozen missions, copious subplots, unique units, and different personalities.
We loved how simply Warlocked uses the Game Boy Affect’s interface of four arrow keys and two buttons to do everything. RTS sports meeting typically rely heavily on savvy mouse direction, and we feared the gameplay would be very hard on the small Game Boy Affect screen. Thankfully, its not, and the game scores better for it.
The basic gameplay involves mining gold and chopping down wood to make new buildings and units, as well as making an army of warriors and archers to do your dirty work. If there are too many people and not enough houses, your town hall will be unable to produce more men until there are adequate quarters for them to sleep in. Likewise, if there’s not enough wood to make archers, you may be stuck making more sword-wielding grunts.
Wizards can be found and protected, then added to your arsenal. Each of the 20 different kinds of magicians features its own unique skill. While some may be able to launch fireballs, cause earthquakes or summon lightning storms, others may make enemies fall asleep, cause deadly plagues, or convert enemy fighters over to your side.
Mission objectives themselves vary greatly. From rescuing a princess, finding treasure chests, riding a dragon out of its lair, escorting an vital member of royalty to safety, or destroying a village, it’s rare to see such variety in any game these days, much less a portable one!

Warlocked has only one glaring conundrum: pathfinding artificial intelligence (AI). In many cases, when you’re instructing your troops or worker to go somewhere, the small warriors will get stuck behind objects or tangled in groups.
The excellent news that comes out of this AI conundrum is the strong multiplayer mode. That’s right–with the optional Game Link cable, two Warlockedgamers can be (forgive the pun, we couldn’t resist!) locked in war with each other. In fact, during the release-player game, it’s possible to unlock special multiplayer maps (eight in all). This head-to-head option proved to be the most fun game mode of all.
Fans of the larger, badder RTS sports meeting such as WarCraft and Age of Empires will find much to like here. Don’t be thrown off by the Game Boy rig–you just might get hooked! –Todd Mowatt
Pros:
- Simple-to-use interface
- Wide variety in gameplay
- Fun head-to-head option
Cons:
- Poor pathfinding artificial intelligence often makes for blundering troops

This game is horrible; don’t buy it. I wouldn’t even spend four bucks to rent this weak excuse for a video game. The graphics are mighty retro–they rock if you dig stuff from 1984. As for me, I like graphics that look as excellent as Tony Hawk 2 on Playstation. Also, the controls make no sense, and you have to read the instruction booklet cover to cover just to figure out how to make some goofy looking dude build a hut or something. This game is wack, get Frogger 2 instead.

I come from a heavy PC game social class and the gameboy is new to me. Most sports meeting are a bit monotanous (sp?) but at least with this Warcraft clone the pace is better suited to the handheld. I like the game. Fun to play Warcraft in the car!

If you loved the RTS sports meeting that untill now have only been on the PC, then this is the game for you! It is a mix of War Craft and Age of Empires. You send grunts or goblins to gather resources and use the them to build a force of warriors and archers. There are two campaigns you can choose to play(Beasts or Humans).Throughout the game you will find and rescue wizards that have special powers that will help you as you go by the side of in the campaigns. By and large this is my favorite Game Boy game made ever and I suggest that everyone should get it.

This is the best gameboy gameboy game I’ve ever played. The best way to describe it is to say it’s a portable Warcraft. The game is as excellent as Warcraft II except for 3 things:
1.The graphics aren’t splendid.(It’s GAMEBOY) 2.There are no tech trees and only 2 buildings you can build. 3.You tell your units to go left and they go all over the map.
Here’s the jist of the game: You’re either the humans or the eerie beast things. both start with a town hall, which builds small guys which are the same as Peons in Warcraft. With them you build a wide varity of buildings (2) which are barraks and gaurd towers. The guard towers look like they are made of toothpicks and shoot arrows which look like toothpicks, the barraks make men. The men are small guys with something sharp that looks like a toothpick and the other are small guts that shoot arrows that look like toothpicks. You can also get mages and stuff later in the game.
I said it allready but this is the best game on gameboy, just watch out for the toothpicks.
