I picked up Magicka 2 in the sale. It's brilliant.
If you enjoy Merlin, you'll love the added complexity in Magicka 2. Especially if you play on a joypad.

The pad controls in Magicka 1 are far less refined, and the engine is rather shanky. 2 is far more polished. Ignore the 'mixed' reviews, they're all referring to an earlier build.

I tried playing both Magicka games. I found the spell casting too repetitive when trying to combo spells and that always led to my forearm and hands getting sore. I never had that problem casting spells in Gauntlet. The game itself was really entertaining. Just too much clicking or button pressing to make spells for me

Everyone is talking about Hammerwatch, which is really good. I also liked Hero Seige a lot (cheap af)

Just checked Hero Siege & a load of the reviews are saying it turned crappy after some mana patch &/or the dlc released.
Anyone tried it since whatever the changes were? Thoughts since?

torchlight 2 is very similar. i'd recommend that one. it's real cheap on the winter sale.

you pick 1 of 4 characters. each character has 3 skill trees that you can spec points into as you level up. and there is 4 stat catagories in addition to the skill tree, and the stat catagories are spec'd into when you level up aswell. the skill tree's involve new abilities that you learn and level up aswell as passives that you can learn and level up. you can't spec into everything so the game has alot of replayability. on top of that you gather armor and helmets and weapons and equipment that further add stats to your hero, and some of them have quite unique effects.

and there is stats for resistances for my different types of damage like ice armor, electric armor, poison armor, fire armor, ect.

the play through of the game is relatively short. but highly replayable.

if you like roguelike games i suggest, nuclear throne, and binding of isaac. nuclear throne is extremely hard if you want all the items in the game you'd most likely need to save edit your game like i did.

^ I second that, Binding of Isaac is good.
Although the randomness of those jumping headless rabbits do drive me nuts ;)

I was considering this too but wanted to be sure I had a team to play with. I have 35 friends that have Forced and it's on sale today for $2! WELL worth the price. It's definitely got a puzzle twist where you have to "force" an orb to do certain tasks to complete the levels. But its got 4 player co-op like Gauntlet and the characters even are similar. A red brute, blue shield carrier, and a green archer. Fun if you're down for a challenge. It's not easy peasy like Gauntlet.

last time I tried Forced the WASD controls were not that smooth, the movement a bit abrupt and it had some awful voices done by some school amateurs, has anything changed?

Have you tried it since they re-did the game? The title was funny "slightly better edition" It does seem better to me but I only play on controller. The new version automatically updated for those who had the game and updates enabled.

gauntlet slayer edition is what i play , its quite enjoyable and you are able to replay multiple times without getting bored because you can switch characters / relics / attacks but even though i do enjoy it , its really like a very cheap knockoff of diablo III
