Evaluation

Warlocks vs Shadows launched out of Early Access on August 19, 2015, delivering its full 1.0 release with new languages, a Versus mode, and a new character (Zardonic, the Bass Wizard). During Early Access (March–August 2015), the developer actively expanded the game with new worlds (Frozen Lake in April 2015, Shadow World in May 2015), new characters, and a new Horde Mode (July 2015). After the full launch, the developer addressed online stability issues with a patch on September 4, 2015 — the last recorded communication from the studio. There are no unreleased DLC listings, no roadmap or announcement of future content, no season pass, and no developer posts after September 4, 2015. The game shipped as a complete package at 1.0 launch, and the post-launch activity consisted solely of an online fix patch. With over a decade of silence since that final patch, the game is complete with no further content expected.

Evidence

Developer announced the full 1.0 release date of August 19, 2015, marking the exit from Early Access, with new languages, Versus mode, and the Zardonic character as the final additions.

About this game

Warlocks vs Shadows is an action RPG/brawler game set in a fantasy world invaded by shadow monsters. Playing as an incredibly powerful Warlock and, by using magic skills and weapons, you fight through hordes of enemies. The game places great focus on co-op and versus play between players, where you can fight in 1-4 player DeathMatch or in teams of 1v1 or 2v2.

In the singleplayer/co-op campaign you have to clear your way through 5 different dimensions with unique enemies, bosses, and environments. You level up your character by slaying evil monsters and getting better and better items.
