Magicka, the funny tongue in cheek action adventure game by Arrowhead Games has been released on Steam(a demo is also available but no multiplayer in the demo). It’s a lot of fun, if you can get it running properly. It seems there are a lot of people having trouble running it without any issues. The most critical one is the connection issues many people are reporting. Luckily the developers have released a patch(they are also promising continued support of course) just now(a full 500MB) that they say should rectify the online connection issues. So I saw my friends list and click to join on a friend who was currently playing the game and I get a fading menu that fades out to blackness. Hitting the escape key brings up a completely white menu. Oh boy…note to self, don’t join from steam chat. Haven’t tried connecting with someone else yet from the in game lobby. Will try it out tomorrow. Check out this release trailer for now…

Where can I buy this?
ReplyDeleteYou can buy it on Steam or GamersGate.
ReplyDeleteDon't have any retail in Malaysia that is selling this?
ReplyDeleteIt's not available at retail yet. Should be available in a few months. You can always get someone to help you buy it off Steam.
