Magika2 And magika wizard wars.

[BrowneHawk]

So is wizard wars bacially magika 2 multiplayer mode? Just released before the story? Or will magika 2 also have some pvp vs modes? I just don't get if these are supposed to be different games, or the same game just made in 2 chunks.

[BrowneHawk]

Also do Wizard wars and Magika 2 have the same casting system? Or will they have differences between them?

Yeah they took the spell casting from Magicka Wizard wars in Magicka 2 but you can hold 5 spells in the same time but Water and Ice don't merge themselves like Water and Fire so to make arrow ice it took you 2/5 spells slots than before it was 1/5 spelsl slots. It means that you have less combinaisons in Magicka 2 than Magicka 1. So in my opinion don't buy Magicka 2 because one of the most thing that made Magicka 1 very good was the spells combinaisons. But they just ruined it.

Magicka wizard wars wa s made a long time ago, by pieces, who also made DLCs for magicka 1, they choose pieces to develop magicka 2 because they already worked in wizard wars and dlcs, but I don't see what you mean with the same game, they have different textures, animations and gameplay, the only thing that is similar is that AS creates arcane lighting isntead of lighting beam, but everything else is different. Obvioulsy if they made changes from the spellcasting system in magicka 1 is because they thought it was better, so why should they change it again?

Because maybe of some reviews like mine can make think the devs twice and change their choices ?

Well but I like new system, in magicka 1 we used always the same spells for everything and they changed it to make a more balanced game, I miss old spells too but game wasn't balanced at all, it was only QRQRQRQRD and QFQFAS all the time

Ok not sure if i worded it correctly. Screw magika 1. Not talking about the 1st game. What im getting at is...Are Wizard Wars And Magika 2 the same game? Like when i go to play magika 2 will i already know how to play? Or are wizard wars and magika 2 going to be very different? I don't want to invest time into playing wizard wars if the player base will all be playing Magika 2 vs modes.

So will Wizard Wars be getting shelfed by the majority of the player base for magika2 or will they be playing both games?

Understood you now! xD
Magicka Wizzard Wars is a MOBA, only avaliable to be played online vs somebody, and Magicka 2 has a cooperative storyline and a survival mode with waves of enemies, you can atack your alies but but doesn't looks like there will be a exclusive PVP mode, and if there is Paradox isn't stupid and it will be completely different to Wizard Wars, because the full version of Wizzard Wars just released last week and they want people to continue playing it. I don't know about the comunity but I will be playing both games ^^.

"Learn to spell again!"

Anyway, I think that the game title is genius, considering the game is called "Magicka 2."

Good. Nothing but spamming the same spell combination to auto win the campaign and ♥♥♥♥ over your mates.

I hope they balance the game so we have more "variety"
