Quick Look: Magicka

This game looks awesome. 

Got the game, but haven't had the time to play yet. Looks really fun in co-op.

Finally ! a quicklook of Magicka :D

"Haven't been this frustrated watching a video since the first Persona ER episodes xD"

When Vinny did the Zelda noise I totally had that in mind too
 
Also they speak a mix of English, Swedish and gibberish

Is this video Broken for anyone else?
 
Big red play button does absolutely nothing.

Really digging this.

I bought it the second brad blew up that dude in the wine cellar.

"I also put pop tarts in my pocket and it is delicious" had me laughing too hard

coolest game i've seen in a while fuck cod 

Haha, good quick look! This game is so much fun, highly recommended. I like how there is no actual experience gain or leveling, but at the end you're so much better at dishing out spells it feels like you have hit the level cap, so to speak. Definitively a feeling of mastery (except you can never truly master magick, for she is a fickle mistress).

The Ws look like butts.

Although the multiplayer can be buggy as hell, it is one of the funniest online games I have played. Me and my friends were in stitches playing this.

looks cool

Looks interesting, might get it soon.

There's some Swedish in there. 

I love when the troll attacks and Brad murders everyone. And then heals the last guy he didn't kill.

still hoping this comes to xbla

Fire, Water, Lightning, Arcane, Arcane, Arcane = BoD (Beam of Death) 
 
Multiplayer in this game is hilarious. Being able to revive each other offsets the often harsh checkpointing system, but be warned, other players will also become your leading cause of death.

SOLD

This game looks cool. and for $10, I might pick it up.

This game is awesome! It's coming to XBLA right?

This looks like a lot of messed up fun.

This game is a lot more fun if you use logic instead of button mashing. Also, regular combinations are not put in your spell book, only those you learn in the world that require pressing space to activate.
 
Oh, and beam spells can last a lot longer if you don't let go of the mouse button right away.
 
Although it's pig Swedish, many words are understandable.

" This game is awesome! It's coming to XBLA right? "

Brad indiscriminately murdering all of his allies while killing the troll and not giving it a second thought was the best part of this video.

" This game is awesome! It's coming to XBLA right? "

I love this game, and to be a swede, the dialog-experience is enhanced extremely! (Due to fake Swedish and sometimes real Swedish humor) ^^

As soon as I can throw more money in my paypal I am so buying this.

Narrator sounds like Bela Lugosi...

so classic brings a tear to my eye.

The language is fake! Or at least it's not Swedish.

My PC can't run this and there are no hard details on an XBLA release.
 
Bummer.

Game looks wicked cool, definitely adding it to steam & getting it. THX GB crew for this :) 
 
edit: Love the Sword in the stone, awesome work Arrowhead Game Studios 

This game is amaaaaazing. Love it. 
 
You'll eventually intuit a lot of spell combos and put em into muscle memory. I suggest just going through all the elements and seeing what they do with the right and middle mouse buttons. The game takes practice, Brad, just like StarCraft! (Waaay more easier to succeed at though...)

oh no don't cross the beams!

"A lot of really irresponsible magic use" totally sums this game up when you get co-op working.  I haven't laughed this hard at a game in a long time.  It's pretty amazing.

In regards of the English fill words, we Scandinavians often use English filler words and slang. It's mostly a case in the big cities. Someone from Copenhagen might describe something like: "Det dér er bare for nice".
 
I hope that helps.

Vinny is wrong. You can actually play this local multiplayer, but the other players have to use 360 controllers.

The voice in the beggining has not a Swedish accent, sounds more like russian. And they are not talking Swedish at all in the video :).
 
/The Swede

LOL in them believing it is Swedish ^^

Haha, swedes sound like retards.

I love the language.

I might get this just to hear more funny gibberish voices.

Yeah, I heard so. But it might take several months and the game also doesn't play well with a game pad (too many spells). So it's better to get it on Steam if you can. "

Paradox hasn't released anything on any console afaik. Granted this seems like a good XBLM/PSN fit but I wouldn't hold my breath. "

" When  TotalBiscuit interviewed the developers a couple months ago they said they first want to focus on the PC version considering they are a 8man team and this is there first game. After that they might be considering it to port it to the other platforms. So unless you want to wait for months, get it on PC. "

"I put on my robe and wizard hat" as an achievement, lol that's pretty funny.

Hope the devs continue to support it with patches as there are still some issues in terms of performance and overall buggyness. Especially in co-op. 
 
Other than that, really entertaining game.
