Collector interest
North America-exclusive real-time strategy published by Nintendo itself, a rare technical feat on handheld where you build bases and command fantasy troops live on the GBC screen. Its unusual ambition for the format and the Nintendo imprint earn it steady, solid demand. The lack of any European or Japanese release reinforces the exclusivity of an RTS that stayed unique in the machine's catalog.
An underrated gem
Making a playable real-time strategy game on Game Boy Color was a challenge, and Rare pulls it off with a surprisingly smooth interface and two distinct sides. Released only in America at the console's twilight, it sank into obscurity. Fans of RTS and handheld feats will discover a striking curiosity.
Is Warlocked still worth playing in 2026?
A real time strategy game developed by Rare, Warlocked pulls off the feat of fitting a playable, readable RTS onto Game Boy Color, inspired by the Warcraft school. The player commands humans or beasts through a scripted campaign, managing resources, unit production and magic. The format adapted interface and the well measured pace make the whole surprisingly comfortable despite the lack of a mouse. For an RTS fan or someone curious about bold technical experiments on handheld, the title keeps a rare interest and is still pleasant to play.
