That spell that worked really well in the previous area might bring your doom in the next. Enemies seem to come with much more elemental strengths and weaknesses that you have to play to and constantly adjust. They were so over powered you could kill every boss in the game in a matter of seconds with minimal effort. These were the over powered combos that killed every and any enemy virtually instantly.

You may see some people complaining about no longer being able to combine lightning, water, fire, and ice the same way you could before. Where a few specific spell combos were so incredibly powerful that they rendered the potentially hundreds of spells you could use down to about 2-3 all purpose kill everything spells. The original Magicka had some terrible balancing issues. Anyways, the polish that I'm talking about isn't in graphics, bugs, or performance, but gameplay. Also keep in mind that this is a $15 game on launch day, it's scope can feel rather narrow at times and leave you wanting more. It depends heavily on your teammates, as it is possible for one skilled player to carry an entire team and rush you through all the chapters.

The game can be very punishing if you're new. If you're new to Magicka this may be more like 6-10 hours due to the learning curve. Also, heads up, a decent group of players can get through the entire game in about 4 hours. There's some new spells but it's mostly the same and not much in terms of creativity has been added. However it doesn't feel like much of a sequel as it does a polished recreation. This is how the original Magicka game should have been. Easily one of the best coop experiences out there. Also, heads up, a decent group of players can get through the entire game in about It's a great game. Some of them have more content than this game.

I don't recommend buying it for more than the price of a Magicka 1 DLC. There is almost nothing that Magicka 1 didn't have but it's balanced which also means madly limited. The game is short has a few more mechanics (not too many though), has less than 30% the amount of magicks the previous one had and you are really limited by stupid things such as focus regeneration or spell nerfs. I've been in Mexican hell and ancient dwarven ruins in Magicka 1 but here - forests and the castle from the previous game.

The game is small there are way less levels and the levels are way less varied and crazy. It's boring! Where are my cool weapons? Crossbows, Machine guns, Lightsabers? Nope, you again have your boring weapons that have boring small bonuses. Here you have fireman's robes that give you +20% fire resistance but -20% something else. The original Magicka had crazy robes that made you absorb lightning, Tank, Crusader or even Tentacle robes. The game no longer allows you to spam spells - i'm a wizard for Vlad's sake. I would understand if there was a sensible pvp but there is nothing. The devs lost the cool crazyness and instead added things to balance the game out. Here you The game is just way worse than Magicka 1. The game is just way worse than Magicka 1.
