From magicka devs Very Happy

The Showdown Effect is a 2.5D multiplayer action game inspired by 80’s and 90’s action movies where champions from different eras of time fight to the death, for fun, for glory and for awesome. Players will battle for the upper hand through cunning use of different weapons, the game's wide range dynamic environments and even the engine's own dramatic audiovisual effects.

the game is still unbalanced, so it remains to be seen if they really play their games or just make them.


shotgun sucks, as even totalbiscderp mentions.

also, the asian guy and the police officer have OP special powers, while the cop has the slowest and most useless health regen ever. and the girl has a dodge/jmp move that's too situational.

they need more free beta testers, because its obviously not rdy yet.

Matchmaking got twice is fast just between two patches, so they are working on the game.


still a full month to go so hopefully the balance improves.
