    I checked but didn't see any threads about this game, if there are some apologies in advance.

    As the topic states: anyone else playing this little gem? I didn't even know about the game until checking the Steam Top Sellers and to my suprise found it out-selling the likes of Dead Space 2. After checking the forums I figured 10 bucks wasn't much of a risk and gave it a chance.

    I have to say that it's probably the best ten bucks I've spent in a very long time. The game is fantastic, great fun. There are multitudes of spell combinations and when you finally get a game going with some friends it's literally a laugh a minute. Not to mention the Dev's being quick with patches to iron out the few problems the game has. There's even a Demo so you can try before you buy.

    Couldn't recommend this game enough.

    Great game and support from the devs. Four Patches in four days and, on Monday, we will be downloading the biggest patch 'till now. It is worth the money. :D

    first 3 levels didn't get me addicted, but a little tad much micro managing hotkeys.
    the humour ingame however is grande!

    Fantastic game! The bugs suck, but I feel fine knowing they're working hard on them.

    The only thing I don't like is the middle button bug. Angers me to no end. I don't even notice any other bugs. Wish there was a staff/sword inventory though. I hate trying to decide what I like only to find out that it sux for my playing style. One or two slots would be perfect.
    As for micro manaaging spells, I just spam SDFSD and *BAM!* lots of damage. Sword of Masters with the healing staff (or what ever they call it) seems to be my favorite combo so far.

    Arcane spells are quite powerful but they are too slow to take on mobs. I prefer to combine arcane with defense to lay down some mines, spray everyone with water then light them up with a bolt of electricity. Laying defense with earth is a good tactic, too. You can make stone walls to bottleneck the enemy as well as cut the force in half.

    I liked the final boss in the demo, you try to cast spells on it but all you need to do is place rocks for it to run into. :D

    Yeah, I see most retards out there doing the same offensive stuff and getting owned. Using the same stuff all the time, like arcane beams and aoe, but it won't get you through the challenges.

    The most killer beam and short range aoe is fqaaas

    But the real life saver in this game is dddre

    I keep it up on my weapon at all times.

    I also use a lot of mass freezes. dddqq and then dddrr for range or just aoe qqqqq and rrrrrr.

    All that and vortex if I can get it. Tons of summons are cool too sometimes but laggy and pretty lame

    The developers are now working on a Vietnam themed expansion, well that's a bit different settings for a magic fantasy based game I suppose? Could work out quite well though, Magicka had some initial bugs and issues but continuous support has improved the game and it can be very fun.

    nope, regular slowdowns with high fps inbetween made the game unplayable

    Saw the Vietnam expansion on Gametrailers. I haven't played this game but I like their sense of humo(u)r!

    The game is a good game, had some issues with crashes with MP coop, but otherwise a blast to play with a friend. In my opinion the game is rather boring unless you play with a friend. So many mistakes and funny things you do when cooping makes the game priceless.

    Btw, the most powerful spell is QFQFASS or QFQFAAS. My friend saw me doing it and he was like "what spell are you doing?" and my response that it was "I'm doing qeef qeef ass" as the best way to describe it made him laugh for 10 mins and laugh every time we said "let's qeef qeef ass this boss".

    wonderful plain fun game.

    Also, beautiful visuals. Very crip and clean, nice shadowing and very good particle effects. Very surprised by this game visually.

    It is a fun game for a while but the game crashed a lot and desync (as in spell active on one end but not on the other end) happens a lot in multiplayer,

    Just bought it a few days ago. Looks very promising. I wish I had more time to play lately, though.
