This game was good at one point, but the latest updates have broken the game. Sometimes the candle lighting up the main menu will fail to play its animation and you will be stuck at a black screen. Playing in a multiplayer lobby may crash the game every time it saves. You are required to login to a paradox account to play. And intrusive ads have been added to menus.

I used to have a blast playing this game with my friends. we never made it very far but it was always a good time. it was one of my favorite multiplayer games even though most of my friends didn't have it. The magic is SO cool and interactive in so many ways. memorizing spells were some of my favorite parts.
recently i got a friend to play with me. for the next hour or so we played it was trying to troubleshoot crashes and glitches. we didn't even make it to the test dungeon and ended up switching to Magicka 2
I'm not sure i can fully express how sad and disappointed i am about this. Sure i can go on to Magicka 2 but i was looking forward to finally playing through the game to the end.
I'll be continuing my attempt but i cant recommend this game right now with how glitchy it has become.

Restarts your PC without ANY warning for the first launch, but more importantly, doesn't last longer than 5 minutes without a crash.
