The Safety Word Is Bananner!

I recently bought all the DLC for a fantastic(-ally successful) indie game called Magicka.

The story of the game is narrated by Vlad (Who is definitely NOT a vampire...) and the player character is lead through the world by him. You travel through all kinds are environments and encounter a huge variety of enemies (even a vampire!) in order to stop an ancient wizard from destroying the world.

You use a selection of elements, rather than a mana bar or spellbook, and these can be combined to produce a huge range of effects. You can collect books in the game that provide you with "Magicks" which are specific element combinations that have certain catastrophic effects.

You can have up to four players working co-operatively (Or more accurately TRY to work together) and there are also a few PVP maps where you can work out your frustration on each other. Friendly fire is always active throughout the game so it is quite easy to injure/kill your friends, or even yourself! Sometimes this is the best part of the game...

The game itself has a lot of references to other games, movies and general memes and the humour is fairly funny throughout. If you haven't played this game yet there is a demo available and I would advise playing that if nothing else. I feel that this game is worth the purchase but you will get the most enjoyment out of it if you have a few friends to play with.
