Magicka 2
The world’s most irreverent co-op action adventure returns! To rid the world of evil, again, up to four Wizards, and their guide Vlad, will traverse Midgård 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!
What it feels like
The game is explicitly described as 'irreverent,' 'overpowered,' and 'unpredictably funny,' inviting experimental mischief throughout. An unironic gleeful disrespect for genre conventions and seriousness defines the comedic tone throughout.
What it's about
Set in a fantasy world of Midgård with wizards, magic, and supernatural conflict as the backdrop. Players traverse a fantasy world to rid it of evil, following a classic hero's-journey structure.
How it plays
The dynamic spellcasting system creates unpredictable, emergent interactions between spell combinations that often result in chaos and comedy. Close-quarters wizard combat with spell interactions is a primary action mode. Coordinating four distinct wizards and their roles within co-op creates light squad management.
How it looks and sounds
Steam user tags and the overhead perspective of wizard parties navigating Midgård suggest isometric or top-down framing.
How it's structured
Up to four players cooperate on the same machine with shared or split-screen functionality. Co-op play is supported online as well as locally. A bounded story arc through Midgård with a narrative beginning and end exists alongside the core gameplay.
