Magicka is an action-adventure game set in a rich fantasy world based on Norse mythology. The player assumes the role of a wizard from a sacred order tasked with the ultimate goal of stopping an evil sorcerer who has thrown the world into turmoil, his evil creations besieging the forces of good.
Players will be able to combine the elements to cast spells, wreaking havoc and devastation on the minions of darkness. They will also be able to team up with friends and fight their way through the campaign, or test their skills in the magickal arts in other challenging modes.
In Magicka, up to four players take on a grand adventure to save their world from certain doom using a fully dynamic spell system. The adventure mode takes the players across three different levels, ranging from the lush forests of mountain valleys to the frozen halls of the Mountain King where wits and creative thinking are keys to victory.
In the unlockable hardcore challenge modes, players fight off waves of enemies to earn their place on local and online leaderboards.
Features
- Innovative and dynamic spellcasting system with over a million possible combinations
- Up to four-player co-op in all game modes, as well as a single-player option
- Fight your way through 13 different levels in the campaign
- Explore an expansive realm of adventure to defeat the evil wizard
- Find and unlock challenges, items, and powerful Magicks
- Experience the parody and satire of a clichéd fantasy world.

Equality
meiji | Nov. 20, 2011 | See all meiji's reviews »The first thing to note would be the price. ~$10 isn't much. Magicka has proven itself to be a great game with an amazing spell casting system. The random weapons such as machine guns only make it better. You'll easily find yourself spending hours and hours playing, enjoying yourself and laughing away at the humorous characters.

Worth it for it's low price
RaTcHeT302 | Nov. 3, 2011 | See all RaTcHeT302's reviews »Considering that the price is about 10 € Magicka is definitely a game that can give great satisfaction to the lovers of this genre as long as you can get over some graphical imperfections and the somewhat badly balanced difficulty levels wich could turn off certain players from playing.
The game's longevity is about 10 hours long but the co-op mutliplayer and the challenges wich you face in the arenas can make it last a bit longer.
It's a fun and humorous game, you should buy it if you love playing with a friend or two together.

Play This Game If You Are Bored
thespysapper | Sept. 22, 2011 | See all thespysapper's reviews »This game is like diablo mixed with DoTA. This game is like an RPG but without the leveling up system. As you progress through the level, you get new equipments which you find around the map and new spells. The pros about this game is that this game is unique and its fun for a while. The game heavily depends on the player's hand speed because in order for one to cast a spell, he has to press certain keys in a certain pattern and press the any of the mouse button. The game offers a fair fight because the newcomer's character and the people who have been playing the game for a while have the same ability. The only cons about this game however is the repetitive enemy and gameplay. only way to keep the game fresh is by buying the DLCs. Overall, i recommend this as a boredom killing game and a co-op (or PvP) game. It is well worth the money.

Common Game but Good :D
kalil | Sept. 17, 2011 | See all kalil's reviews »Magicka is a fun game, very simple-minded in terms of history or levels, focusing more on the spell system than anything else. Another strong point of this game is full of clichés, which make up the slack that is in history, making you have a good time. Now the game also has its problems, the multiplayer is almost unplayable, many people have problems when entering through authentication failures (server here present for example) but it seems that they will gradually patching. Crasheo several throughout the game, many playable level bugs and many deaths because of the antics of your colleagues on your team's normal in a multiplayer game.
The game comes with texts in Spanish, the voices are not in English but in an invented language. Except for the narratives in the early chapters that are in Spanish.

Tonnes of Fun With Friends
Mondu | Sept. 2, 2011 | See all Mondu's reviews »When I first tried the demo I wasn't blown away and felt like I couldn't justify the price tag, however, after buying the full game and playing with a group of friends I realised I couldn't have been more wrong.
By yourself the game is nothing special, but the game wasn't built with single player in mind. With friends the game is a blast. Lasting about 6 hours or so; you will find yourself questioning where your loyalties lie as your friend kills you for the tenth time, teaming up to take down large bosses and laughing a lot at the jokes and fun multiplayer gameplay.
If you were planning to get this game then I definitely recommend trying to convince your friends to do the same. You will enjoy it a hundred times more if you play through together.
