Warlock – Master of the Arcane était un bon jeu de stratégie, sans trop de prétention, une sorte de 4X tiré de l’univers satirique de Majesty et au style graphique très proche de Civ 5. Qu’en sera-t-il de la suite, prévue pour le printemps prochain ? Voici une première série de captures d’écrans permettant de se faire une idée de ce à quoi ressemblera Warlock 2 – The Exiled. Les graphismes étant sans surprise très similaires à ceux du précédent volet, c’est très probablement au niveau du gameplay, de l’interface, et surtout du mode multijoueur qu’il faudra chercher les améliorations.

NEW YORK — November 26, 2013 — Paradox Interactive, a publisher of games and an exile from their previous offices, today revealed the first-ever images of gameplay in Warlock 2: The Exiled, the forthcoming turn-based strategy fantasy wargame from Ino-Co Plus. Coming to PC in Spring 2014, Warlock 2’s magical war-gaming is revealed for the first time to eager practitioners of the dark arts in a series of spellbinding screenshots and a live stream using the sorcery of the Internet.

These images will magically spring to life during a livestream on November 26 at 8 p.m. CET (11 a.m. PST), where Paradox’s own magical staff – that is, personnel, not walking stick – will show off live gameplay for the first time. Behold their power by visiting their Twitch.TV channel: www.twitch.tv/paradoxinteractive
Journey back to the realm of Ardania, the land that cannot go an entire week without being conquered, and conquer it once again! Exiled to a shard from a shattered world, players of Warlock 2: The Exiled must contend with fellow exiled mages and a host of terrifying creatures. Wield ancient magic, summon even more terrifying creatures, go to war, and discover just who possesses the greatest balls of fire.
Warlock 2: The Exiled features:
Spelling Counts – Over 150 spells to add to your tome, allowing command over powerful enchantments, nasty hexes, and elemental forces
A Crass Menagerie – Hundreds of different mythical and magical beasts to deploy on the battlefield with distinct tactical uses, from giant rats and dwarven prospectors to werewolves with hats on them
Friendship is Magic – A multi-player experience as robust as the single-player experience, including PvP, Co-op PvE, and every combination in between
Warlock 2: The Playstyles – Fight your way through the shards to reclaim Ardania in new ‘Exile’ mode or dispatch opponents the old-fashioned way in ‘Sandbox’ mode.
