Magicka gameplay

You’re a wizard Harry. Just the main character’s abilities and magic system in this RPG make it its own uniquely worthy beast. You have full control of the eight magical elements, how to combine them, how to cast them, and what to cast them on. You (and up to three of your buddies) play as a wizard sent out to defeat and evil sorcerer hell-bent on filling your world with mid-level bad guys.

You literally have a spellbook sandbox. Your party’s Level 15 Wild Magic Sorcerer doesn’t have a damned thing on this guy. You can follow the light humorous and sadly linear) story, reminiscent of The Bard’s Tale, or you can just as happily find a corner in the woods and play with yourself. Combining and creation of spell after spell is the real sweet spot of Magicka.


Vlad wouldn’t mind terribly if you’d, y’know, gather all that blood up for him… Not that he’s a vampire or anything.
