Short description

Race for scarce herbs, brew them into 15 wild spells and wreck the rival team's cauldron. A chaotic wizard team battle for up to 8 players: team up with friends against computer warlocks or fight each other, 1v1 to 4v4. Friendly fire is always on.

Long description

Wild Warlocks is a chaotic team battle for up to eight warlocks. Race across a haunted valley for herbs, brew them into spells in your cauldron, and throw everything you've got at the other team's cauldron before they break yours.

Herbs are scarce and slow to grow back, and the rarest make the strongest spells, so every trip out is a gamble: grab what's close, raid their side of the map, or stay home and guard the pot. Fifteen spells, from Fireball and Lightning to Gravity, Thorns and Soul Tether, blast warlocks into walls and rivers, drag cauldrons into hazards, and, with friendly fire always on, catch your own team as often as theirs. Pick one of five schools, team up with friends against computer warlocks from Apprentice to Eldritch, or split into sides and fight each other. Every match ends with awards for the heroes and the disasters alike.
