Magicka interview

We sat down with Johan Pilestedt, game director at Arrowhead Game Studios, to talk about their four player wizard simulation set in a generic fantasy world - Magicka.

A prototype of the game won the Swedish Game Awards (indie/student competition) back in 2008, and ever since the team from the Northern parts of Sweden (Skellefteå) have been hard at work with the full game. Due out during the second quarter of 2010, Magicka, is not what you would expect from a top down fantasy title as it does away with levels and loot and in return focus on a fun and innovative magic system that allows players to mix and match spells on the fly.
