Let me ask you a question? What’s better than single-handedly going up against a slew of enemies and using the forces of nature to fell all foes that get between you and victory? If you answered “doing that with three other friends?” you’d be half right. The real answer is doing all of the above…and promptly crashing one of your allies “to the desktop”, blowing another one up with a thunderbolt, and then sending the third one flying off a cliff with a well placed arcane land mine. I find an evil laugh or two works wonderfully in that situation.
As Arrowhead Game Studios turns 15, join us in celebrating its past and learn how its first game Magicka influenced Helldivers 2.
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
Arrowhead Studios, the developers of Helldivers and the Magicka series are working on a new third-person online co-op game.
