Project Warlock is currently available on Steam for just $1.20, down from its standard $11.99 price. Thanks to this 90% discount, the game has been brought down to its lowest price in its entire two-year price tracking history, according to SteamDB. The offer runs until May 28 as part of a limited-time daily deal.
Developed by Buckshot Software (who also developed Buckshot Roulette) and published by Retrovibe, Project Warlock is a retro-inspired first-person shooter built around fast-paced combat, chunky pixel art, and old-school design principles. It's often mentioned in the same breath as some of the most iconic games to ever exist - Doom, Heretic, and Wolfenstein 3D - and for good reason. The game features 90s-style gunplay with a modern layer of polish.
The gameplay spans across 60 levels, divided into five thematic worlds with settings ranging from frozen Antarctic bases to medieval crypts and Egyptian ruins. Each level features secrets, keys, lifts, and bosses, along with a large arsenal of 38 weapons, 8 spells, and 12 perks. The enemy count? Over 70 unique types, with many being fast, unpredictable, and tough to handle in cramped corridors.
Project Warlock released in December 2018, but still holds a "Very Positive" rating from over 5,000 user reviews on Steam. Recent reviews continue to commend the game’s value, especially with its current discount. Some players note that while it's not as refined as its sequel (Project Warlock II), it remains a solid and enjoyable shooter that nails the retro vibe.
This deal is live now and available to anyone on Steam. With system requirements that are easy to meet - even on older machines - it’s accessible to most players. If classic shooters are your thing, and you haven't picked this one up yet, this is the cheapest it’s ever been.
