I was excited by Warlock: Dungeons & Dragons until the protagonist pulled out a sword
The author expresses disappointment with Warlock: Dungeons & Dragons' inclusion of sword combat, feeling it detracts from the game's unique invocation-based magic system. While acknowledging the game's potential for clever spellcasting, the protagonist resorting to a conjured sword makes it feel like a generic action-adventure. The article contrasts this with games like Magicka, which successfully focus solely on unique magic mechanics.
