Magicka

Ever want to have a game where you can combine spells to create other spells you have not found? Multiple elements you can add to create an epic spell? Shield bombs? Frozen bolts of earth? All! this is in magicka! Magicka's spell system is one of what many have wanted, allowing for extensive experimentation and discovery! The gameplay is often laid back, and most of the time when not fighting epic bosses, you are testing new spells and combos. You also learn spellbook spells which often times are much stronger and greater than normal spells.
There is witty commentary on the story, and everyone talks like a Swedish sim! Soon you will find yourself speeding through using crazy spells and healing and shielding yourself thinking your invincible. Till a boss beats you, and your forced to change your tactics! Did I mention this is Co-op? and multiplayer? also a challenge mode/ arena challenge mode! Servers you can connect to and play with other people. Playing Magicka isn't just about remembering and spamming spells over and over again. Its more about trying all kinds of different spells watching destruction before you, as you win the battle! It's epic that the mechanics of this game are so sound, and feel so rewarding. I would rate this game 8.5/10!

  1. Wow, that sounds awesome. I've always found magic systems in games to be lacking, maybe this is what I've been waiting for :)
    Will try. In the meantime, I'll be following you and watching out for more (no doubt great) updates.
