In the land of Migård, there exist and order of Wizards.

Possessing the awesome power to create and destroy, these Wizards ordered the world as they saw fit, and it is said that the early days were a time of great peace. They founded the Order of Magick, that their secrets would be protected, and that peace would forever reign across the lands of Midgård.
But this was all long, long ago, and as the centuries passed, the secrets of the most powerful Magicks were forgotten. Or perhaps the first Wizards were too wise to entrust their full powers to an Order which was fast becoming an exclusive club for knuckleheads.

Then, one day there was born a powerful Wizard named Grimnír, who sought to harness the power of all Magicks and return the Order of Magic to its former glory. But the other wizards of the Order felt threatened by his ambitions, and they devised a treacherous plan to bind Grimnír at World’s End. They plotted and schemed in secret, for Grimnír was powerful indeed, though he had not yet mastered all the ancient Magicks. They gave long and important speeches, raised their hands politely and shouted at each other. They ate their cheeses, wove their plots -- and then, their best plans laid, their traps set, as the fateful hour drew near...

Hey now, no more remarks like that. And no they aren’t fangs, thank you very much. It’s just that we didn’t have a proper orthodontist where I grew up, and I’ll thank you for not staring.
Now where was I... Ah yes. And so it came to pass that the one Wizard who could have brought enlightenment to the Order was instead condemned to an eternal prison, on the charge that his lust for knowledge had brought Midgård to the very brink of peril! And plus, he never really was one of the guys, you know.

Some say that Grimnír is still bound at World’s End, where his hatred grows by the day… Others say that he has long since escaped his prison, given up magic altogether, and instead got himself into farming.

So it is a game about wizards, magic, epic fantasy, shout outs and humor! You and up to four friends take control of a group of wizards who must go out to save a world, guided by Vlad, your Wizard teacher. You have no mana, but instead you get access to eight "elemental" types: Water, Life, Shield, Cold, Lightning, Arcane, Earth and Fire. What you do with these elements is that you "charge" up to five of them at a time (for example: Charge, Fire, Earth, Arcane, Shield and Fire. Or Fire, Fire, Fire, Fire and Fire. Or just fire without anything else afterwards) and then cast the magic. However, combinations are limited, as you cannot mix some elements with each other(like lightning and earth don't go together, or arcane and life)!

Anyhow it is a fun, humorous game with original gameplay and a cliché storyline. Also gives you the opportunity to "accidentily" kill your friends.

In my opinion its the game of the year(or atleast summer): Magicka! Buy it now on steam for only 9.99 Dollars or buy the full-pack(DLCs: Wizard survival kit and Vietnam included) for about 15 Dollars. No vampires are included
