This is Magicka!
Magicka is an action-adventure game by Arrowhead Game Studios and published by Paradox Interactive. The game is set in a fantasy world with magic, goblins and trolls, a quest to help the King, a rogue wizard, and a heavy dose of parody.
In the single-player story mode, you put on your robe and wizard hat and combine elements to fire lasers, throw boulders and shoot lightning at your enemies!
There are eight elements to play with: water, life, shield, cold, lightning, arcane, earth and fire, and each of these can be directed straight at the enemy, applied to yourself, used as an area-of-effect spell, or even applied to your weapon.. doing this means you can use it on the enemies later, or just run around with a sparkly colourful sword 😉
One of my favourite defensive spells is a fire, earth and shield combination, applied as an AOE – this places a circle of fiery mountains around me which knock back and burning enemies. Or friends, if they’re standing too close..
The game allows up to four-player multiplayer, in which you can play through the story or just blow your friends up. Friendly fire is most certainly on in this game, and we ended up ignoring the story at the beginning of our session to just try and kill each other.
There is also challenge mode, which is survival mode with waves of increasingly difficult enemies. On your own, you really don’t last long, but when playing with friends, so long as one person stays alive they can revive you with a quick spell. I’ve not yet attempted Versus mode.. one for a little later maybe!
I think this would have been a good game without all the jokes, so the fact there are so many is a bonus. Some of the achievements themselves are also jokes, such as the “This is Magicka!” achievement for pushing a soldier down a hole 😉
