Magicka Due This Week; New Trailer

Post by Dan @ 03:19pm 24/01/11 | 17 Comments

Swedish indie studio Arrowhead Games and publisher Paradox have announced January 25th 2011 as the official launch date for online distro of their action RPG Magicka, with a retail-box version set to ship later in EU/US February 15th (we're unsure of Aussie distro prospects at present).

Magicka will transport players into a fantasy environment unlike anything ever experienced before. Save the world of Magicka from doom as a co-op effort in a team of four, or single-handedly using a fully dynamic spell system. Prepare to defeat the evil wizard as you wreak havoc and devastation on the minions of darkness in thirteen action packed levels.

Accompanying this news is a new developer interview video where producer Mattias Lilja walks through the basics with some new gameplay action on offer.

Looks fun. I recall their videos for why the game was delayed. Fun little series in itself. Might have to pick this one up if its cheap.

I pre-ordered it for ten Euros, not sure if I will be able to transfer the key to Steam later.

Bloody fun game. I'm only on chapter 2 and keep dying because I f*** up my magic. I go to cast lightning when I'm wet and 1 shot myself, I click the wrong type of cast button (why are there like 3 or 4 types, should be 2 at most) and drop a 5 rank fire/rock boulder on my head, 1 shot.

Awesome thing i've found out though is play around with the shield spell and combine it for some epic results

water + shield = rain, which then lets you annihilate things with lightning
arcane + shield = explosive mines which can have frost/wet/fire added to them for effects
rock + shield = wall of rocks, which you can add arcane and ice too for added effects.

Awesome stuff this game.

There's a ridiculous amount of spell combining, I'm really enjoying it thus far. Recommended for $10.

How the s*** do you make Wind? I cant work it out. Theres a few spells that seem to need it but I can't work it out.

EDIT - Also up to chapter 3 now and it's getting really f*****g hard. Monsters showing up that are immune to fire/lightning which are your 2 hardest hitting spells so it forces you to combine other things.

I lasted 5mins.
Not saying those that enjoyed it are "wrong". Just not at all what I expected, felt like I was back playing police/kings quest.

This game has turned pretty hard, not knowing much of the combinations owns you.
