I like it. But you could update this one because it keeps crashing for no reason.

Feb. 2025

It was one of the best games, currently to have best experience you need a fan patch, (generally in long run you will need a mod because game doesn't let people join DLC stories without it - wtf?) but it's still beatable, just a bit harder and time consuming. On single it crashes around 25min without mod, on multi it will crash at certain parts of the game even with mod. There is pay2win (who'd even remember what all of DLC shit does), but no one is really playing PvP publicly, if someone would join you with DLC robe just ask them to change it. (or just have a chill duel without knowing it's effect heh) Except for 1 location it's very easy when you find out what you can do, on coop it's even easier unless teammates bad and they kill you, altho maybe a bit slower sometimes. Oh and tutorial doesn't teach you everything ofc ( i think it's not even possible to use all types of spells before leaving basement ) there are some cool things to find out 1 way or another; some spells scale weirdly I guess, but it's not really a problem Many achievements (less than half) are locked to DLCs and at least 1 of them supposedly is very crashy. it's funny

This game, minus the crashes, is every childhood dream came true. It feels like you're doing complex hand signal akin to what shinobis in Naruto are doing. In real time. Props to AH. 10/10. Ps. Use 1.5.10 for full experience

Magicka is a comical indie action-adventure game where you play as an unassuming wizard attempting to save the world from evil. That might sound cliche though its intentional and the game is full of jokes and satire. You have 8 different elements to choose from and you can combine them into powerful spells with devastating effects. You will need to think fast on your feet as to which spells are best for the given situation thus you will need to use strategy as some levels are quite challenging. The graphics and effects on the spells are done well for an older indie game and the gore setting is a nice compliment. The controls are fine, though the aiming might take a little getting used to and the magic combinations will require some memory. The story is short but charming with some funny "twist and turns". The dialogue is well written, and I found myself chuckling at the game quite often. The level design is good with lots of enemies to wreak havoc on and blast to oblivion. There are a lot of cool and unique wizards with varying abilities to choose from. There is also a nice selection of game modes aside to the story which are all fun to play. Magicka is catered to coop play, and you can play up to 4 players. It will be hard not to laugh, maybe even cry, while playing this game with a friend. However there are some parts of the game that are extremely buggy and some content is almost impossible to complete in the games current state due to crashing errors which caused a fair amount of headache. I was able to download a previous version of the game off of https://steamdb.info/app/42910/ to complete the game though it still crashed here and there. If you can overlook the bugs and crashes Magicka is wickedly fun and a classic indie game well worth a try!
