About This Game

Magicka is a satirical 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 stopping an evil sorcerer who has thrown the world into turmoil, his foul 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 through 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 the keys to victory.
In the unlockable hardcore challenge mode, players fight off waves of enemies to earn their place on local and online leaderboards.

  • Innovative and dynamic spell casting system
  • Up to four-player co-op in all game modes, as well as a single-player option

Cheesy Storyline, endless hordes of monsters.

Most importantly you can kill your friends with everything.

Absolutely unplayable bugged trash. You can't complete missions because of tons of bugs, you're stucking in walls, you're stucking in enemies, you're falling through floor textures.
Game was released a long time ago, but bugs everywhere.
Very good idea of gameplay was just ruined by bugs, bugs, BUGS.

If you have 20 dollars by two copies of this game one for you and one for your friend because while the game is incredibly enjoyable with a friend that's a whole new ball park. Though be warned, some friends will hurt you more than help you.

Do you like friendly fire? Then Magicka is your game.

There's wizards and references and swedish chef-speak and such, also.

Magicka is crazy, fun, messy, stupid, wacky, funny, and sometimes hard enough to push you to be creative.
The story is good enough to make you want to finish it.

The multiplayer is incredibly fun. You'll enjoy killing your friends the foes with your friends by elaborating machiavelic elaborated plans to blow them up in creative ways.

And if you, accidentally kill a friend or yourself, because sometimes it really is an accident, that's ok ! Dying is part of the Magicka gameplay, just use resurect and voilà, let's go make a mess again.

Magicka was quite the entertaining game that I didn't expect it to be. I expected a short 5 hourish game that would be fun for like the first 2 hours. I was very wrong. I ended up playing through the whole adventure mode of Magicka with a friend, so in co-op, and it was quite a bit of fun.

To start, Magicka has great graphics and spell effects and animations. Everything about the game looks good. Another thing that makes Magicka so good is that there are so many different orb combinations to make different spells, effects, and Magicka. When I mean there are so many different combinations, I mean that there are legit possibly over 100 differnt unique and tiered spells and Magicka you can cast. Not only that, but each spell combination often features its own unique graphical effect and animation. Couple this with some other weather and terrain, the game has a really a super in depth spell casting system.

Magicka has a pretty random story, but it is pretty funny in places. The gameplay is pretty entertaining and the difficulty level increases perfectly for the most part. Although some times there are some abnormally easy bosses while some of the mob fights were annoyingly hard. Overall, Magicka does a very good job with checkpoints too so you do not feel super punished when you screw around and die. As I mentioned before, I played this game with a friend. I strongly recommend that you play Magicka with a friend or two or three because there are so many little things that make playing with more people more fun. For one, the revive is a clutch coop spell and there are so many more spells that can be comboed.

Overall a good and fun game that you should play with your friends. I really did not find any flaws to this game apart from the occasional crash.
Rating: 8.8/10
