Magicka

I dont know if you have played this game or Diablo style games at all, or if you like em, but even if you dont Magicka is a game worthy of playing and that for multiple reasons!

1: Indie
Its a small company so you pay very little for the game on steam (roughly £8) and it all goes to them and not a massive corporation (yet...)

2: Gameplay
The game works with a very clever system.
There are 8 elements (Fire, Water, Frost, Earth, Lightning, Arcane, Heal, Shield), and 4 ways to cast (Staff, Sword, Self, AoE). Each spell can be built of 5 elements, however some nullify others (lighning and earth, arcane and heal, fire and frost, water and lighning) and some that combine (fire and water gives steam, and frost and water gives ice)

This system allows for so many different spells... from simple Boulders, to Laserbeams to Steam-Electric Beams... its all there. You can make walls of fire, or ice, or mini volcanos.

Furthermore there are 21 Magicks, which are spells u can learn from tomes. These give u things like Haste and Rain, or cooler spells like Summon Death(who comes and kills the weakest person in health percentage)


3: Story.
Now it isnt some amazing thriller that will keep you hooked, but it is funny, and plenty of funny referances to other games and films, and host many cool characters like Vlad, who is not a vampire xD



All in all it is a very fun game and if you want a good look I can only recommend TotalBiscuits Wtf video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g_XP9OBWGKo
