Magicka: Wizard Wars is a sandbox action PvP game that utilizes the humor and dynamic spellcasting system of Magicka, tasking players to form teams of four and blaze their way across the battlefield together, combining elements to cast hundreds of different spells to generate a broad variety of offensive and defensive effects. Each player can design a persistent and personalized wizard with hundreds of unique items and guide them to glory. Wizard Wars is a Fun-to-Play Team-based PvP experience, filled with tongue-in-cheek references to popular media and current events. With short rounds and unpredictable strategies, Wizard Wars gives both novice players and experienced MOBA veterans a unique tactical depth in every encounter.

For a free game, Magicka: Wizard Wars isn't bad, although it requires a great deal of time to rise to the middle tiers of players, and rising to the top is impossible without a substantial investment of both time and money. There is little reason to play Magicka: Wizard Wars over other games in the genre, and the dominating nature of the in-game store severely hinders the experience, rendering this as being "free" only on a technicality. Whether Arrowhead Games Studios is aware that Wizard Wars isn't really much fun when nothing is bought from the store, is a matter up for debate.

I saw this game was free and thought yeah, ill give it a try. So I downloaded it and spent the first 5 minutes being shown through the main menu. After playing games for 20 years, I kinda know what sort of things are included in a menu.

I think that the game does a great job at bringing in action-oriented PvP, so you will surely like this game. It's a nice introduction to the MOBA world if you've never played one, but it also offers enough for hardcore MOBA players too.

The game is plenty fun if you have a few minutes to kill, but this isn't going to replace any number of other MOBAs that are already on the market.

Magicka: Wizard Wars does a lot of things right, but there is too little under the cowl.
