How co-op works
Up to four wizards complete the campaign or survival challenges locally or online, assembling spells from elemental combinations in real time. Every spell damages allies as effectively as enemies, making aim, positioning, wards, and healing central to the group’s coordination.
About this game
Magicka throws players into a Norse-inspired fantasy world as wizards battling an evil sorcerer and his monstrous hordes. This is true co-op chaos, where up to four players work together through a satirical campaign that never takes itself too seriously. Friendly fire is always on, meaning every spell can help or accidentally obliterate your allies in spectacular fashion.

Players combine elemental magic on the fly, mixing earth, fire, ice, lightning, and more into devastating or disastrous results. Quick thinking and coordination are essential as you experiment with spell combos, dodge enemy attacks, and try not to zap your friends. The unpredictable nature of spellcasting makes every encounter a frantic, laughter-filled scramble.
The game supports local shared-screen play and Steam Remote Play Together, letting you gather around one screen or connect online. Sessions feel like kitchen coordination under pressure, with constant shouts of warning, apologies, and triumphant discoveries when a new spell combo works perfectly.
