Indulge in some diab-lol-ical dungeon crawling with the latest Magicka DLC

Andrew Brush 13 Oct, 2012 at 5:28pm ET Article published in Gaming

Beneath Castle Aldrheim a new evil is stirring—deep in the abandoned dungeons, a long-forgotten threat has been awoken by the demented ancestors of the Aldrheim Order.

Magicka: Dungeons & Daemons is the latest in the string of Magicka DLCs and in a bold move, the designer-sorcerers at Paradox have decided on a “highly original adventure in which the wizards will explore a dungeon to fight horrible monsters”. Frankly there’s not many games that could make such a premise interesting—but this is Magicka—where a clichéd dungeon crawl with a punny name and plenty of absurd pop culture references is exactly what the players want.

So round up your party for another trip to Midgard; with brand new challenges, monsters and even a bonus difficulty level designed to satisfy all but the most masochistic of Magicka fans.

Dungeons & Daemons is already available for order from the usual suspects for a paltry $3.99.

Also mental illness.

Because we thought it was going to be even better than those games. It was going to blow our freaking minds.

We were wrong.

And that's what it is.

13 Oct 2012 ~ 9:41pm MiracleManS I've been happy with Diablo 3 as well. Only thing missing that would be nice is ladders and resets. I haven't played for a bit ,but will with 1.05
