This game really goes for something new. An rpg with no inventory or skills. All you get is your weapon and magic and then you are thrown into the fight that is totally worth the price (around 10$).

I look at as a "proof of concept" more than a real game to be honest, but i didn't play through the whole game. I decided to wait and get the bugs fixed before i bothered. I got the game from steam and have noticed 3 or 4 patches so far but, haven't tried to play it for now.

As a concept i thought it was great - add the magic system to a really good story like Diablo - or a really good action RPG like Diablo or Torchlight or Titan Quest and I think the game could be a best seller. The magic system is that interesting and intelligent.

It would need some quick buttons to remix and recast elements quickly and easily in my opinion and a far more character based system to increase skill and power which elements, Health, etc. Then Items that really make some difference to the game.

Like i say -- great concept - fun to play and engaging -- well worth the $10 -- add the elements it needs to be a great action RPG and I'd pay $30 or more to play it. Torchlight 2 will be great -- Diablo 3 should be a blast. Magicka needs some work to be in their league.

its a fun game def worth the buy, i think the reviewers score was IMMENSELY harsh, there are some pretty funny moments even in single player from the steam achievement of 'THIS IS MAGICKAAA!' and saving a small village which in return give you an M60 machinegun.... so all in all i love this little indie game, infact it blows the likes of most indie games out, excluding amnesia dark descent.
but this is just a review, for 10 bucks you can give it a go :)
