Magicka: The Other Side of the Coin

Developer: Arrowhead Game Studios

Genre: Action Adventure

Platform: PC

Release window: 3rd Quarter 2012

Magicka needs no introduction at this point. The original game sold over 1.3 million units with Vietnam adding in another 500,000. The Other Side of the Coin approaches the Magicka universe from the opposite side, placing you in the role of Alucard the Vampire and his minions. This time you're out to sew discontent between the good guys – humans, dwarves, and elves. Expect all the usual frantic Magicka co-op insanity paired up with a new cast of characters.
