Warlock: The Avenger is a top-down action game and the third entry in the Druid series, published by Millennium Interactive in 1991. You play as Saran, a wizard who must descend into eight dungeons of the evil lord Acamantor to free the kingdom of Belorn. Navigate mazes filled with monsters, hidden doors, invisible paths, trapdoors, and poison chests. Collect treasures containing magical projectiles, keys, and health. A unique feature is the ability to summon a clay golem – controllable by a second player in simultaneous co-op. An exclusive conversion of the original Druid is included on the disk.
Commodore 64
Released in 1991 on tape and disk, coded by John P. Gibbons and Wing Lai with music by David M. Hanlon. Features the eight-level maze structure and two-player co-op where the second player controls the golem. Top-down perspective with colourful backdrops. Enemies are nicely animated and can regenerate, homing in on your position. Zzap!64 rated it 69%, calling it a solid Gauntlet-style shooter. Magic Disk 64 criticized awkward colour choices making some monsters hard to see, mediocre controls (doors often open on second attempt), and reused title screen/music from Druid II. 64'er gave graphics 7/10, sound 4/10, concluding "only eight new labyrinths" for Druid veterans.
