[Cypher13]

Just bought this on Steam and its the perfect fix for any RPG fan.

30000 sales from digital distribution platforms in 24 hours.

Not usually a fan of this genre but its got me hooked surprised nobody else as mentioned it? Maybe they are too busy playing it.

Can i be green ranger? XD

I have got it, but havent had chance to play anything other than the demo.

I got to the boss on the tutorial level and summoned a shield as instructed, but instead of casting it on myself I summoned it in front of me, I then casted an arcane bolt which reflected off the shield and I was turned into many wizard like little pieces...

I was sold at that point.

Bought this last night, ended up playing it until the early hours with a mate.

Really good fun! Its a parody of several films as well... I'm quite fond of the "A-R-S-E" spell

hehe try the F-A-S-A spell, insta pop most mobs

Great game, should get a hexus co-op going, game is a lot better when played with others Have the fun comes from the "accidental" team killing when people *cough* step in the way of your spells

Hammering Q and R is quite good for mobs too, its the ice shards spell. the other one we used a lot was 'ASFA', which is a kind of lightning beam that burns as well.

its a solid game that me and my mate have been playing since release, shame about the bugs though . However the sheer fun ive had with it makes me overlook that, for £8 it got my money worth and its just so funny randomly deciding to kill your team mate and hear them rage .

Encountered my first major bug last night black screen on one of the last chapters music plays for a bit then crash, same for the mate I was playing with sligthly annoying.

I love the monty python references... being attacked by "shrubbery!" or hearing one of the druids say "ecki-ecki ptang!" and being hit by a spell and then flying across the screen to a chorus of "Ni!". Even though you are getting battered and its quite frustrating at times you can't help but laugh throughout the whole game at the daft things that happen. In fact its almost like being in a monty python film from start to finish!

Only played it 2 player, it must be nuts 4 player I suspect I'd kill everyone often!

That's where the fun comes from xD team killing accidentally. Produces some funny as hell games. Only played it online twice, not many of my mates bought the game. Might start gifting it to people on the friends list

Hit QFASA and then shift right click, clears a bucket load of mobs but your team mates don't really stand a chance xD

Not tried that one, have to give that a go. What is really effective is one person hosing enemies with water and the other freezing them. Particular effective against Khan he killed us a couple of times until we turned him into a chunk of ice and then lasered him.

If you are overwhelmed by weak to medium enemies, whacking up that big dome shield and spamming the space bar is good. You can then spawn mines outside of the shield with your sword in straight lines to thin them out a bit.

Only really use the personal shield and then spam the AoE

Instead of freezing them, use the lightning instead, so once the mob is soaked just electrocute them Freezing works well though and then you all spam mines around the boss so as soon as it's not frozen it will start setting off all the mines

Does the demo let you play multiplayer? Wouldn't mind giving this a go and maybe picking it up on payday ;P

Don't think so, from memory the demo was the tutorial part of the game to give you a feeling for it. The demo was enough to make me buy it

I've just been watching the Total Biscuit and Yogscast magika play through, so funny.

Game looks mad and fun
