Magicka is a satirical action-adventure game set in a rich fantasy world based on Norse mythology. The player assumes the role of a wizard from a sacred order tasked with stopping an evil sorcerer who has thrown the world into turmoil, his foul creations besieging the forces of good.
Players will be able to combine the elements to cast spells, wreaking havoc and devastation on the minions of darkness. They will also be able to team up with friends and fight their way through the campaign, or test their skills in the magickal arts through other challenging modes.
In Magicka, up to four players take on a grand adventure to save their world from certain doom using a fully dynamic spell system. The adventure mode takes the players across three different levels, ranging from the lush forests of mountain valleys to the frozen halls of the Mountain King where wits and creative thinking are the keys to victory.
In the unlockable hardcore challenge mode, players fight off waves of enemies to earn their place on local and online leaderboards.

Comments and Reviews
As much a I like how the devs have improved some aspects in the sequel, I still like the first one better.
Awesome skill-system, gameplay and humor. Has a lot of issues though. Checkpoint-save-system, difficulty, multiplayer matchmaking … Improvements and continued support has been promised, as well as a free PvP mode added later on. A lot of patches have already been published, so there is hope. Definitely try the demo. The spell-casting/skill system is awesome.
