agicka is an action/adventure game in which the player takes on the role of a wizard of a decadent ancient order, utilizing a complex game mechanic to let players, in real-time, dynamically combine different elements to create spells or the even more powerful Magicks to exploit the weaknesses of their foes. The game will feature 15 different levels in 9 different environments, giving the players a huge replayability with unlockable magicks, weapons and challenge levels not found the first time around.

All game modes will be available with up to 4 player co-op.

It’s one thing to completely annihilate your friends in glorious magical combat, whether on accident or on purpose, and another thing to completely annihilate your friends in glorioius magical combat FOR FREE. No, wait a moment, on second thought it’s actually the same thrilling annihilation…but at least it’s cheaper!
