Put Magicka 2 next to its 2011 predecessor and you’ve got a before-and-after comparison straight out of a weight-loss advertising campaign. The new-and-improved version is leaner, meaner, and better looking, but just like in those ad photos, at the end of the day this is still the same guy with a few less pounds and a spray-on tan. As a fan of the cult franchise, I don’t consider this a disappointment. I’m happy with more of the same because this new demonstration of wizard-bursting carnage features the same skill-based magic system and catchy co-operative modes of play that made the original play like Dungeons and Dragons on crank in a slaughterhouse. Still, there isn’t much new here aside from expected refinements, like smoother controls and better visuals, and plenty of added frustration from bugs and the extreme difficulty for single players.

Contrary to what you may hear, Magicka 2 is not a game about casual manslaughter and murder, reckless irresponsibility with magical powers, ignorantly blowing things up to see what happens, blundering haphazardly into success, crossing the beams, or vampires. Magicka 2 also does not contain: a complex skill tree progression, character levels, first person combat, base building, procedurally generated environments, NPC faction management, or vampires. In fact, much like its predecessor, Magicka 2 is a game that defies all but the broadest gaming genres.
