In contrast to role-playing game mechanics that traditionally dominate among magic and wizardry-based video games, Magicka has no character class structure. The main adventure campaign consists of 13 levels. A single player or up to four simultaneous cooperative players take on the roles of wizards tasked with stopping an evil sorcerer that has thrown the world into a state of turmoil. Magicka is an action-adventure game played in a 3D environment from an isometric perspective. In expansions the game also explores a Vietnam War setting as well as the Lovecraftian Cthulhu universe. The game also takes liberties when it comes to the classic fantasy setting, at one point supplying the players with an M60 machine gun. The game world is based loosely on Norse mythology, drawing inspiration from other fantasy games like Warhammer and Diablo, while also making regular use of comedy and self-referential humor. Up to four mages of a sacred order travel to fight against an evil sorcerer and his creations. It was released via Steam for Microsoft Windows on January 25, 2011. Magicka is an action-adventure video game developed by Swedish independent developer Arrowhead Game Studios.
