The whimsical wizards of Paradox Interactive and Arrowhead Game Studios have announced the deployment of Magicka: Vietnam, the first DLC expansion for action-adventure game Magicka. The DLC is now available on all leading digital distribution platforms for US$4.99 (±R35).<\/p>\n

MyGaming was rather taken with the surprise hit of Magicka, despite its bug riddled launch. Most of the bugs have been squashed now  – check out MyGaming’s Magicka review<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Some footage has been smuggled from the steamy jungles of Vietnam.<\/p>\n

In Magicka: Vietnam, gamers will (in typical tongue-in-cheek fashion) answer the call of duty to take up arms against the Goblin-Cong, trudging through a napalm-scorched battlefield with a bad company of up to four wizard GIs, and earn new medals of honour and achievements as they eliminate scores of enemies with not-so-wizardly machine guns and a new napalm Magick, liberate prisoners from POW camps, and escape to a Huey before it gets shot down by a pistol—all of this, of course, while wearing stylish robe fatigues and a hood-friendly helmet.<\/p>\n

Magicka will be discounted on several digital download portals, for up to 50% off. These promotions will include bundles and four-packs. Keep an eye on the Magicka deals (http:\/\/www.paradoxplaza.com\/deals) website to find a deal for your favourite digital download portal. Currently Steam<\/a> is running discount promotions.<\/p>\n
