Paradox Interactive, a publisher of games that are often misspelled, today released a free update to Magicka 2 which includes an overhaul of the game’s iconic spellcasting system. Magicka 2, a game that teaches “with great power comes zero responsibility,” now includes three additional elements to include in spells, added for free to further empower friendship-ending team-killing accidents.
The new spell system arrives today on Windows PC, and will appear very soon for the PlayStation 4 computer entertainment system.
Two of the three elements added to the Magicka 2 spellcasting system make their triumphant return from the classic repertoire of the original Magicka: Ice, created by combining Cold and Water, and Steam, created by combining digital software sales with a convenient interface. These new elements now occupy just one slot each in a five-element spell, allowing players to finally recombine Steam and Lightning, or Ice and Lightning, or Lightning and Lightning (which was available before but is honestly a very nice combination).
An all-new element has been added as well: Poison, created by combining Water and Death, which generates a cloud of toxic, life-sapping gas. All spell elements are now lovingly rendered in a new visual effects system also being added to the game today, also for free, also.
