Grab The Games: Magicka 2

Today I am extremely proud and happy to present you the next chapter in the Magicka universe.*drums rolling* MAGICKA 2! But let's see what the devs have to say about it! The world's most irreverent co-op action adventure returns! In the next chapter of Magicka, players ascend from the ruins of Aldrheim to experience a Midgård almost wiped free of Wizards after the Wizard Wars, with the few that do remain having either gone mad or extremely hostile toward all others.

To rid the world of evil, again, up to four Wizards, and their guide Vlad, will traverse MidgÃ¥rd armed with the next iteration of the famous Magicka dynamic spellcasting system, as players reprise their roles as the most overpowered, unpredictably funny Wizards ever known to fantasy! There are so many aspects I loved in this game that I really don't know from where to start. As a big of the whole Magicka series I can say that you really learn how to spell again Everything is really improved in the next chapter of the series. The graphics are outstanding and the levels are looking gorgeous. You will visit a lot of various places from caves and snowy environments to forests and sandy places. Even the most demanding players can be satisfied. Furthermore, the music is amazing and creates an amazing atmosphere for the player.

Moreover, now in the game you can combine up to 5 spells at a time. The combinations now are almost limitless. Which means that it is up to you to create your own strategy and use your favorite spells against the enemies your friends? Ohh yes! Co-Op was never that fun before. You can play with up to 4 friends at the same time! Another great addition to the game are definitely the Artifacts which change the game for good. Every Artifact will aid you during the game and it offers high replay value and maximizes the fun! Furthermore, I loved the customization aspect in this title. There are numerous robs, staff and weapons you can collect during your gameplay, every one of them with offers different boosts or weaknesses so choose wisely!

The humor in this game is simply amazing, there were many time where I couldn't stop laughing! However, there are some negative aspects that I should mention. First and foremost, the friendly fire even that can be hilarious at times when you play with others can frustrate a lot of players and cause rage quits like crazy! It is an aspect of the game that you either love or hate it! Another negative for me is that you can't change equipment or robes before each chapter, you have to return to the main menu and do everything there and then start the next mission. Something some users may find as a negative is that the enemy difficulty level is way to high compared to Magicka 1!

To sum up, I love this game just as I loved all the games in Magicka series. I totally enjoyed every bit of it and the new aspects of Magicka 2 are amazing! Good job Paradox!
