Maldron Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 The key to this game's awesomeness is that quick line about combining elements to cast spells. I played the demo, then gave it my money, and then came here to tell YOU about it. Element combining is fucking insane. Take this small scenario! I combine Shield and Water and press the middle mouse button on myself, making myself immune to water's ability to get me wet. I combine fire and water to make water vapor, then cast water again, and use spacebar to use that combination to summon rain. Everything around me being wet now, I cast lightning five times, hold shift and then press the right mouse key to do an area of effect lightning attack. Because they're wet, the lightning chains, and the monsters die. And if you're wet, SO DO YOU. This game is the right amount of hard, cute, and awesome to get ten dollars from me. Ten dollars! That's all they're asking! Play the demo and see if you don't want to give them ten of yours. On steam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The NZA Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 i admit, this has stayed entirely under my radar, till one dude online was saying he nuked half his group trying to summon a meteor or something, and that it was hilarious. interest piqued, will download.

Maldron Posted January 30, 2011 Author Share Posted January 30, 2011 Yeah, I've read the same, but honestly I think they're going to be paying attention to it. They've already released one patch to address known bugs, I'm sure they'll release more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genroh Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 I just saw this interview on gametrailers: <div style="width: 640px;"><embed width="640" height="391" src="http://media.mtvnservices.com/mgid:moses:video:gametrailers.com:709974" quality="high" bgcolor="000000" name="efp" align="middle" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" flashvars="autoPlay=false" allowfullscreen="true"></embed><div style="font-size: 10px; font-family: Verdana; text-align: center; width: 640px; padding-top: 2px; padding-bottom: 2px; background-color: black; height: 32px;"><div><a style="color:#FFFFFF;" href="http://www.gametrailers.com" title="GameTrailers.com">Video Games</a> | <a style="color:#FFFFFF;" href="http://www.gametrailers.com/game/magicka/12171" title="Magicka">Magicka</a> | <a style="color:#FFFFFF;" href="http://www.gametrailers.com/video/magic-types-magicka/709974" title="Magic Types Interview HD">Magic Types Interview HD</a></div><div style="padding-top: 3px;"><a style="color:#FFFFFF;" href="http://xbox360.gametrailers.com/" title="Xbox 360">Xbox 360</a> | <a style="color:#FFFFFF;" href="http://ps3.gametrailers.com/" title="PS3">PlayStation 3</a> | <a style="color:#FFFFFF;" href="http://wii.gametrailers.com/" title="Wii">Nintendo Wii</a> | <a style="color:#FFFFFF;" href="http://pc.gametrailers.com/" title="PC Games">PC Games</a> </div></div></div> I am now VERY much interested in playing this. I love the idea of mix&matching spells on the fly for different effect. The friendly fire aspect I can see a lot of players screaming at teammates "WHERE TEH FUCK U AIMIN?!!11", but I agree with the man here. It does add more strategy and depth to the combat. Yeah the bugs sound like a real problem, but I'm still compelled to try/buy this PC gem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
