Magicka

the core gameplay is really fun, and the writing is charming (if a little dated), but, at least at the time of writing in 2026, the game does not run well at all without installing a fan-made patch. without it, you'll crash at loading screens constantly. this would be acceptable for abandonware, but half of the content in this game is locked behind paywalls, be it DLC or microtransactions. this is a fully deprecated piece of software that will still happily charge you, both up-front and after you're in the door. if you already have the game, or if you're dead-set on picking it up, look up MagickaFix for the patch. i've had no issues since installing it.

Can't play the game as there is a stupid Paradox Interactive login pop-up in the middle of the screen that cannot be moved/hidden/completed. It covers most of the UI! Tried creating an account, which was difficult given that it covers all of the required input boxes and buttons. It's still there, but now says "Logged In". Shameful lack of QA. This game used to be fine before adding such forced online account BS.

More than 10 years ago I lived in an apartment with 3 friends. Friendships that I'll carry with me all my life. Except by me none of them used to play videogames. Magicka broke this barrier feom the first time we played together. My laptop was sitting in my tight the HDMI cable connected to the tv and 3 xbox controls connected on my laptop. We spent HOURS AND HOURS playing together. They on their controls and me on my keyboard. We played every mode mocked every second of our gameplay. Those were extremely happy days and magicka helped to make it happen. I honestly love this game. It's fun, easy to play, something that makes you forget the hard times of existence and simply cast a lightning storm to kill everyone in your party. I'll never forget the laughters, the joy, the feeling that was to play magicka with my best friends. I f***ing love this game. And always remember: Vlad is not a vampire!

Буду ещё одним человеком, который тыкнет в очевидное. Этой игре необходимо внимание разработчиков! Да, я понимю, что это крик вникуда, но мне искренне обидно за отличную игру. Magicka — уникальная игра, где, соединяя 8 разных стихий, нужно "причинять волшебство" всем врагам и союзникам. Я рекомендую играть в неё кооперативе, ибо уровень веселья напрямую зависит от кривоты ваших рук и рук ваших напарников. В одиночку же игра сложна. Сюжет в ней, внезапно, вполне неплох, чего не ожидаешь от "игры про механику". Визуал и стиль так же держатся на должном уровне спустя вот уже сколько лет. Ну а музыка просто шедевральна! А, ну и юмор, да. Игра по-хорошему смешная. А вот несмешным является техническое состояние. Уж не знаю, дело ли в спагетти-коде, или в чём ещё, но DLC в игре работают просто отвратительно, из-за чего ты даже с фанатским патчем большую часть прохождения молишься, чтобы игра опять не вылетела. Из-за этого идти в игру за достижениями я настоятельно не рекомендую, выбить подсолнух станет испытанием для ваших нервов, но не только (и не столько) в плане скилла.

Wanted to play this game again after 12 years. I could not get a game running in Windows10 due to continual crashes, a friend was also trying to run the game on Windows11 and his also crashed several times before he could get a game running. The system requirements list supported operating systems only up to Windows 7. It seems it is unstable on Windows 10 and 11.

Игра прикольная, но учитывая вылеты в мультиплеере играть невозможно. Разрабы, вероятно, забили на игру.

The game is fun, but there are frequent crashes, that ruin the experience. Community patch is a must.
