It’s not hard to describe what Arrow Head Games downloadable magic-spewing action title Magicka is all about: it’s an isometric hack-and-slash fest minus the swords and the RPG elements. Giving you the perfect picture of what the chaotic game looks like in motion, on the other hand, is something altogether different. I thought this embedded debut trailer might help in that respect.
My understanding is that Sweden-based Arrow Head has taken Magicka on several European press rounds, so the above might be “ancient” by Internet standards. Please excuse us and make doubly sure to scream “OLD!” in the comments because people simply must know just how much time you put into the Internet each afternoon.

Destructoid is an open discussion community. You don't need to "audition" to post a comment - just speak your mind. We respect differing opinions on the site, so have at it. Be smart, funny, insightful, clueless, or cute -- but back it up with substance. Keep your cool, keep it fun. We only ask that you act respectfully and above all: don't be a troll and ruin it for everyone else. Don't bring down gamers or we'll, you know, gently shoot you in the face and stuff you into a flaming mailbox. Each comment is your opportuntity to make this community awesomer. Is that even a word?
Avoiding the banhammer only requires common sense: spamming, trolling, racism, NSFW stuff, and other forms of sucking will not be tolerated. If anyone is griefing please report abuse. Be good. Don't suck!

Also, you guys at Destructoid really need to do better on identifying platforms. It might be somewhat forgivable in this instance since it doesn't say even on the developer's own website (from which one might assume Windows PC only), but it's an historic problem with Destructoid and is both unprofessional and annoying to the reader. We expect such slack "journalism" from Sterling, but not from your muscles, Brad.

If I walk by the studio some day I'll be sure to remember asking for which platform it is :D hehe
And we have to spend X amount of hours on the internet to maintain our fantastic gamer physiques. Everyone knows that double (triple!) chins and love handles don't grow themselves.
Zomg dood, are you a voice actor from "eavy rain"?
