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."[2]

Forrest Johnson reviewed Warlock in The Space Gamer No. 38.[1] 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."[1]

Dan Joyce retroactively reviewed Warlock for Arcane magazine and stated that "Warlock wasn't a bad game. It was quick, it was easy, games only lasted half an hour or so, and you could play it with two people as easily as with six. I quite liked it, but it never became anything more than a way to kill time while waiting for someone to turn up for the roleplaying game that we were running that day."[3]
