Having a choice from tons of robes, staffs, and weapons you can customize your Wizard to unleash havoc amongst hordes of fantasy creatures. Magicka 2 comes with a dynamic spellcasting system that can be used in a variety of different ways, offering hours of experimentation for players to figure out which spells work best for their play style. Adding both co-op and friendly fire on top of that and you have a recipe for some hilarious disasters.
Magicka 2 offers players a story-driven campaign mode set in a richly dynamic fantasy world influenced by Nordic folklore. The franchise also offeres “Artifacts,” which act as different switches and options for players to customize, change gameplay experience, which adds more replayability to the game. The list of actually useful and less comical things, you can tweak pretty much every gameplay element: enemy strength, magic types. Artifacts are a finite source so you will need to choose them wisely.
Even better, Magick 2 is now open for pre-order on Steam, with a Linux version promised sometime this fall.
