PeeKnuckle Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 Much-asked for Features Added, Devs Release Gameplay Trailer for Magicka: The Stars are LeftIn anticipation of Magicka’s upcoming Lovecraft-inspired campaign, Magicka: The Stars are Left, the Great Old Ones today announced that the popular co-op action/adventure game has recieved a huge tech overhaul for the game engine itself and game balance improvements.Any players who have purchased Magicka will receive, at no charge, this much-asked for update, which adds the ability to resume game progress from check points instead of starting over at the beginning of a chapter, incorporates the ability to revisit previously completed chapters, and, for the soloists, adds a fairy familiar that will revive players when they perish during campaign mode.Full details for what is featured in the game engine update:• Fairy familiar added, revives characters after death occurs in solo campaign• Checkpoints now save progress even if game is quit• Chapter select added to replay previously played chapters• Several improvements to the server browser• Physics and collision detection improved - less falling through the floor• Frame rate stuttering - should be less noticeable for some users• Extended particle system with particle lights• Improved light performance• Several minor bug fixes, game balance, and tweaksThe Great Old Ones also unveiled a gameplay trailer that was available before the existence of man. However, since the Great Old Ones only had dial-up internet access until just a few days ago (old habits die hard), they’re finally able to share it with all of mankind who have since started to exist; the trailer is sure to excite players who are Thurston for more Magicka action—bah-dum-ching!

Kevnvek Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 Oh hell yeah, this update might actually get me to mess around a bit more in Magicka at some point, if only to get all the remaining spell tomes and a few achievements I haven't gotten (I only sometimes care about achievements if it's a game I really like lol). Chapter select should have been there from the beginning. And I don't play much multiplayer anymore in any games, so that reviving fairy sounds pretty awesome.So no release date on that DLC yet? I will almost certainly want to review it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
