Oh, Magicka… 0

I heard many a good thing about Magicka and decided it may be worth trying out. I downloaded the demo but found it to be incredibly boring. I was just walking around using magic (magicka?) to get past obstacles. Again, it was boring. Though a daily Steam deal happened to pass by, and that included Magicka with all the DLC…for $6. I decided to bite, mainly to try out the parody add-on, Magicka: Vietnam.

Skipping the tutorial and actually playing the main story – this game is awesome. It’s really just action the whole time, fighting different types of enemies with magic at your disposal. Constant action. I’ll get waves of enemies coming at me, which I will try to dispatch with different magic types and even my space marine blaster. Yes, the ‘robe’ I choose is that of a Warhammer 40K Space Marine. One of Magicka’s many nods to the gaming scene. Achievements will pop up that make reference to Metal Gear and King’s Quest. It can get tough. I’ll be hammered by trolls and orcs and not know what-the-eff to do. I then have to think about magic combinations.

I’m not a fan of RPG’s at all. This isn’t an RPG. Almost a puzzle-action game. You have to be quick in figuring out what magic to use when and what combination.

It worths.
