Cooperative gameplay mechanics

The gameplay of Magicka 2 differs little from its predecessor. The player controls one of up to four wizards, with the rest controlled by other players who can join the game at any moment. M2 emphasizes cooperation between the players, who can work together, while defeating enemies, or fight against each other, thanks to the friendly fire functionality built into gameplay mechanics.

The player can customize their wizard with a plethora of items: robes, staff and other weapons found in the game world. The player’s gameplay style can also be adjusted with five different elements, which the player can control to make magic. The player can combine these elements to create hybrids, which deal significantly more damage. Magicka 2 favors the player’s experimentation with spells to see which ones work for them the best.

Another new feature added in Magicka 2 are the artifacts. They are unlocked after completing adventures and challenges and can be used to adjust settings like cooldown timer, elemental damage, enemy speed and health recovery, etc. These artifacts can be used to provide additional advantages or challenges to the gameplay, making it more interesting.
