Paradox Interactive has put out a trailer for Magicka: Wizard Wars, the multiplayer-oriented spin-off of the top-down spell-based action game.
In development at Paradox North, the game contains three modes: 1v1 duels, 4v4 team battles, and a MOBA-esque mode called Soul Harvest. In Soul Harvest, players must worry about AI-controlled monsters (on their team as well as the enemy's), all the while dodging the friendly fire of their teammates while making sure not to hurt allied units.
“Obviously the launch of a game is a momentous occasion, and it’s definitely a relief to have it officially out there after two years,” said David Nisshagen, Game Director for Magicka: Wizard Wars.
“Our job is certainly not over yet, however. Our players have been with us every step of the way, supporting us, giving us crucial feedback, and helping us make a Magicka PvP experience that feels right. We couldn’t have gotten to this point without them, and now that we’ve launched, we’re going to stick by them to keep the game growing, evolving, and repeatedly setting everybody on fire in new and unexpected ways.”
The game, which is free to download and play, was released today along with this a trailer, which you can see above.
