Magicka 2 continues the irreverent co-op action adventure series, picking up as players rise from the ruins of Aldrheim into a Midgard left almost empty of Wizards after the Wizard Wars. The handful who survived have either lost their minds or turned hostile toward everyone else, and it falls to as many as four Wizards, guided by Vlad, to travel the land and rid the world of evil once again.
At the heart of the experience is the next iteration of Magicka's famous dynamic spellcasting system, which puts thousands of spells at your fingertips. You combine up to five elements at a time to improvise magic on the fly, chaining them into special Magicks to obliterate foes or lend aid to your companions. A free update, Learn to Spell Again... Again, brings back the hybrid Steam and Ice elements from the original and introduces a brand new Poison element, expanding the roster of spells alongside bigger explosions and improved graphics.
Co-op remains the core draw, with four-player friendly-fire support across all levels and game modes, plus hot join so friends can drop in. Working together, or hilariously against one another, produces the chaotic, unpredictable comedy the series is loved for. On PC, it delivers overpowered Wizards and freewheeling fantasy mayhem.
