Magicka PvP Preview

GameSpot had the chance to try the new PvP mode that’s going to be introduced in Magicka with a free update at the latest E3, and they let us know their impressions in a preview. Here’s a snippet:

We joined Cederholm in a local match, both of us using an Xbox 360 controller. (Based on the ease of use, we wouldn’t be surprised to see this game come to consoles.) It took some time to get used to the gamepad controls (our time was always spent with a keyboard and mouse), but in no time, we were swigging speed potions and casting fiery spells toward our opponent. We also fought chattering treasure chests that would appear onscreen, which dropped weapons and other items upon defeat.
