Games / Magicka Megathread - Game updated. Now with more DLC!
« on: August 10, 2011, 10:03:20 AM »
So... What is it?
Magicka is best explained through this video. It's kind of hard to explain this game, but basically it's a top-down, dungeon-crawling, spell-conjuring joy of a game. The game without DLC is $10. The complete pack is $25.
Gameplay
You, a wizard, must conjure together 8 different elements on a five element bar to blast at enemies such as trolls, goblins, yetis, zombies, civilians, and anything else that moves. Spell books called Magicks are hidden throughout your adventure. These are specially casted with the spacebar once you conjured the required elements. There are 21 hidden in your adventure, but some are given straight to you without the use of a book or much searching.
Playing alone provides a challenge, but also a blessing. Only enemies and miscasts can kill you. Playing with your "friends" (up to 4) means you can die as much as you like, as long as you have your buddy revive you. The drawback of having extra people is the amount of accidental/purposeful teamkilling. It becomes an absolute slaughter-house with 4 people playing at once.
Plot
Story-wise, there isn't too much to this game, but it's enough to explain why you're here and not somewhere else. A few twists and turns mixed in with a nice overdose of cheap humor can keep you playing through to the end.
Basic Characters
You- A wizard instructed by Vlad in the ways of conjuring elements to fight or help the world.
Vlad- An instructor at the Order of Magicks who is not a vampire. He helps you with the story and does not fight with you in any way.
Random Civilians- Target practice basically. There's no penalty for killing them or letting them live.
Game Modes
Adventure- The main story mode for the game. Progress through the world of Midgard to destroy the evil forces threatening it's very existence.
Challenge- A test of your wizardly prowess and skill. Survive the arenas and fight in Vietnam in the Magicka- Vietnam DLC. Best done with trust-worthy friends.
Verses- Sometimes, wizards don't get along. Fight your friends without having to revive them later in a variety of arenas.

Suggestions & Requests / Re: Magicka-ish playertype

How about just the Magicks (Thunderbolt, tornado, haste, fear, ect.)?
They could be books and require a cool-down to be used repeatedly.
Personally, I would like Thunderbolt to gib my opponents, or severely damage them.
