unlabelledView post →My ideal moveset for Nue across any game would be something akin to Dota 2 Invoker, Nightreign Recluse, or the game Magicka. Mixing elements together to get spells. Nues entire brainspace is dedicated to memorizing these combinations and there's no room for anything else.

unlabelledView post →Magicka 2 has a PERFECT magic system, but it is rather short, so i must ask - is anyone out there making a game inspired by Magicka? (or maybe Noita, i know @codered-dev1.bsky.social is making a game inspired by Noita) if you are making one, please share! I'd love to hear about it #gamedev #indiedev

unlabelledView post →And here's my new #gameidea ! Have you thought about mixing the chaotic Magicka 2 with the tactical Into The Breach ? I'm thinking of a magic combat game with a huge amount of spells that rewards experimentation and combining them, but where you also have to deal with the unknown side effects. 1/5

unlabelledView post →I got like four game ideas bouncing around my head 1. Turn based roguelike RPG 2. Real time with pause FFXI inspired dungeon crawler 3. Magicka mixed with yomi hustle 4. FTL but on boats with magic And all of them are way too complicated. 1 is the closest to done, 2 has a foundation.

unlabelledView post →Obviously, Donlan gets it: www.eurogamer.net/eternal-stra... "At its heart, what it means is that Eternal Strands' magic joins the likes of Magicka and Noita. It feels like magic should feel: dangerous, uncontrollable and scary." For a certain kind of freak (me) this is all you need to hear.

unlabelledView post →I remember playing Magicka for the first time and just being blown away at how fun and crazy the game was, and the kind of minds needed to create the insanity that came with it. I'm so happy to see Arrowhead blowing up like this, with Helldivers winning Console Game of the Year AND Critic's Choice.

unlabelledView post →I love how Helldivers is made by Arrowhead, the studio that made Magicka. That game was bonkers!
unlabelledView post →The video game I’ve been playing the most lately is Warhammer 40k Rogue Trader. Enjoying it quite a bit so far. Would love to see more non D&D tabletop video game adaptations. Hoping for Deadlands, Ars Magicka, or 7th Sea
unlabelledView post →game probably nobody remembers: the PVP Magicka spinoff game was an interesting idea but the meta just devolved into rapidly spamming elemental resistance shields against whatever your opponent is casting and then casting something they don't resist at them

unlabelledView post →Like how the Magicka devs added a spell called crash to desktop that causes a random character (including the player) to blue screen of death and vanish from the game, taking any items with them. According to the lore, the wizards learned how to weaponize the game's buggy release.
unlabelledView post →Helldivers 2 is such an amazing game. I've been following Arrowhead since Magicka and I'm thoroughly convinced they are doing some of the best work in games right now.
unlabelledView post →nah the first one was 2d top down view, and this is the dev that made Magicka which was very much a shitpost of a game [complimentary]
unlabelledView post →Yo TTRPG fools. I got zines! I did a limited run of my 1st game, Major Magicka, in full color. I'm a broke bitch so please buy em! https://etsy.me/3OUWR4q I'm biased but I've run this game a ton of times and it's really fun & absurd. I love it so here's a little thread about it.

unlabelledView post →As of today, Saints' Row 2 (2008) is the 305th best game of all time according to me, directly below Qbeh-1: The Atlas Cube and directly above Magicka. It is part of Tier 14. There are 25 tiers and 574 games in the list #PixelRankings
unlabelledView post →Sure, whatever you say Vlad. (Magicka was a super fun game)
unlabelledView post →And if we're talking just games, there's souls-like, Diablo, LotR and Hobbit again, Baulders Gate. Magicka is a great game especially with friends.
unlabelledView post →Left 4 Dead 2. Lots of fond memories playing that game. Alternately, Magicka if you want something that involves failing hilariously.
unlabelledView post →In all seriousness though that sounds interesting Reminds me a tiny bit about Magicka, but that game definitely plays "unskilled use of magic is dangerous" for laughs instead
unlabelledView post →🔥Thank you to everyone who came to stream today we played Magicka!🔥 Lots of crashes lots of bugs, loooots of scuff but we did still manage to play some of the game! #Vtuber | #envtuber | #vtubing | #smallstreamer | #magicka VOD: www.twitch.tv/videos/23477...
unlabelledView post →1. Magicka 2 (2015) I was at a friend's, we needed a couch co-op game to play, and he happened to have this on PS+. I hear the first game (haven't played) is the stronger entry, but I still had plenty fun with this one. Finding new ways to accidentally gib each other remained entertaining to the end

unlabelledView post →Oh that reminds me of this early 2010s game Magicka, you had to do all this work to cast spells, or you could find the M60 and just gun everything down for the rest of the game
unlabelledView post →Girl, I do not even remember the Ars Magicka mechanics. It's just this nostalgic shimmer of world/character building, and stories crafted over multiple in-game years of research and exploration.

unlabelledView post →You know I think Skyrim's vanilla spells have a lot of potential for spellmaking in the next game. Think about it, you could categorize it in: Range (Self/Touch/target/stream) Delivery, if Targeted (Bolt, Magicka, Physical) Area: (Explosion, Chain, Storm) Duration
unlabelledView post →that's one of the most original takes on MP bars i've heard. the long dead MOBA Magicka Wizard Wars had a cool one, a combo system of spells, kinda like a fighting game, where mixing different elements creates different spells with varying effects....
