Magicka is a satirical action-adventure game set in a rich fantasy world based on Norse mythology. Assume the role of a wizard from a sacred order tasked with stopping an evil sorcerer who has thrown the world into turmoil!!

It's actually not an action rpg

They call it action adventure. It's about combat and coop. Very heavy emphasis on coop. Try the demo on Steam it's out now.

downloading!

Had a short session with Frag, here's minor review.

The Online section is a mess, no caps lock can describe the mess. Even customising your robe's colour will kick you out of the game, thus do it offline when you are changing the colour.

However, once you manage to get together, the fun begins. Instead of trying to defeat monsters, I somehow have the desire to find ways to get myself killed with the combos.

Others can wait out for the bugs to be ironed out, while it is kinda worth it for those who have went through these game breaking buggeries with the online co-op and hilarious friendly fire moments.

Yes, it is okay to kill your friends, just for the lolz.

Just now Magicka has a new patch up, around 11.5mb, and it just make it worst.

My game crashes everytime I click "play", now I can't even get into the game.

I am officially bloody pissed.

Is there local co-op for this game?
