Magicka

It's kinda like Alien Swarm with wizards.

You combine elements (water, arcane, fire, cold, earth, shield, life and lightning) to make them better (eg earth + lightning creates a fireball). 4 player co-op, too. For only £7.99!

I haven't played it that much, but I love it from what I've played. It gets as hard as f'uck at points. Like, I'm up to this bit where they keep rushing me, to which I can't do anything but spam self-shield, heal, and run away, except they keep killing me.

I got it a few hours ago. It's a lot of fun, although having to redo a level all the way from the start if you close the game / go play multiplayer sucks. Steam + Lightning + Arcane beam is pretty much the best combination right now (Q F A S (optional 3 more A or S) > hold right mouse button and watch everything die). The fact that you can add just about any spell to your melee weapon makes things a lot cooler too: steam + fire + earth + shield creates a line of volcanoes, while just using earth + shield would create a line of rocks. The amount of combinations is insane, and that's even without counting the "Magicks". Some parts are really hard though, even if you use the strongest combinations of attacks, mainly because lots of things can just kill you in 1 hit (or 2 if you use shields). About the most fun you can get out of $10 really. Meteor Shower in multiplayer is fun, as is crossing multiple beam attacks(yay for friendly fire?).

TB did a "wtp is X" video segment on the game, if anyone wants to see how the gameplay is. I'm definitely gonna get it once I get the chance. Freaking amazing.

Might buy it.. Not sure.
Seems awesome.

I tried downloading and playing the demo at my friends's urging, but it keeps terminating shortly after I see some book in darkness. Anyone know what's up with that?

So I bought it today. Really enjoying it, hehe. We need to play together, Myles.

I wanna buy it but i wouldnt wanna buy and just be all alone in singleplayer ;_;

Would anybody want to play with me? If so i'd buy it.

I'll play! Add me on Steam (see below).

Yaaay c: Gonna buy it ASAP then. In a few minutes most likely, 10€ is nothing for a good game.

Since we're European, I can play at non-absurd hours for us, too.

I really like the idea behind it, but I'll wait for the next big Steam sale, since it'll be cheap and a lot of people will probably buy it then... :3

sigh as much as this looks amazing i found after trying to run the demo and failing that the game doesnt support intergrated graphics cards.

YDI for having an integrated graphics card.

Magicka is the first game so far that i have been unable to play due to computer limitations.

Even other games that say you need a better card still work on my laptop, but Magicka just plain doesnt want to run.

Just finished the last 2 chapters with 2 friends. Amazing fun. Took some time to tell them that I was spamming Nullify to keep us from getting killed by the final boss, and then we pretty much spammed Vortex on eachother during the credits. Will do a New Game+ soon =D

Yeah, Nullify is way too damn good. The final boss was simple, though - I just spammed WALLL beam and cast an AoE shield every time he used the water attack.

I got this game when it came out and beat it on single player a while ago. If anyone wants to do some co-op, I'm up for that.
