Connor Beaton writes: "Magicka can probably best be described as a tongue-in-cheek parody of almost every work of fantasy out there, presented as an intuitive action-adventure game. At times, the witty dialogue and characters feel very much akin to the works of Terry Pratchett, with subtle jokes and puns working their way in alongside references to the Lord of the Rings movies and Iron Maiden lyrics. There are even moments where the game breaks the fourth wall, with one character early in the campaign assuring you that she would offer you coins for your effort had the game an inventory system."

I played Magicka, but I never realized it was the same dev as Helldivers. Makes plenty of sense considering how much friendly fire is in Magicka lol
"The founders of Arrowhead Game Studios (the team behind one of the world's biggest international game successes with the game "Magicka") is now investing in the Swedish Gaming company Mind Detonator whose business concept is to capture talent at a very early stage and build the next generation of gaming developers far from the big cities." - Arrowhead Game Studios
