Reception

Charles Vasey reviewed Warlock for White Dwarf #23, giving it an overall rating of 8 out of 10, and stated that "This game is far from complex and it's an admirable introduction to gaming for the more intelligent, a good subject for a family game, or simply for unwinding with a good workable multi-player game with fine graphics, which can be adjusted easily to the time you have to hand."[1]

Forrest Johnson reviewed Warlock in The Space Gamer No. 38.[2] Johnson commented that "Warlock is too complicated for a parlor game, but does not allow enough strategy for a good wargame. A nice try, but overdesigned, overpackaged, and overpriced."[2]
