Cross-Platform Adventure of Award-Wanting Series Friendly Fires its Way to Portable Devices

NEW YORK — March 28, 2013 — Paradox Interactive, a publisher of games and a dropper of valuable consumer electronics, today announced that Magicka: Wizards of the Square Tablet is now available for iPad and Android tablets. The new game, which brings the iconic and colorful wizards to handheld computery not-quite-phone machines for the first time, is an all-new adventure based on the bestselling PC franchise. Magicka: Wizards of the Square Tablet will allow up to four iPad and Android tablet users to play cooperatively in the same game from their different devices, using a proprietary blend of magic and bribes. Mostly bribes.

The game can be conjoured to mobile devices here: http://squaretablet.magickagame.com/

Developed by Ludosity, Magicka: Wizards of the Square Tablet was originally going to be called “Wizards of Relatively Square Tablets” until everyone realized that was literally the worst acronym. In addition to having a better title, Wizards of the Square Tablet features the creative spellcasting gameplay that Magicka fans have come to love, alongside an all-new story and graphics.

In bulletpoint form, the game includes:

Spellbinding Spellcasting: Combine elements to create thousands of spell combinations
Play with “friends”: 4-player co-op mayhem with many “accidental” team-kills
Original Story: All-new campaign for single or multiplayer
Sizzling Tablet-on-Tablet Action: Cross-platform co-op between iOS and Android
Fat Loot on Thin Screens: New items and powers unique to both iOS and Android
Semi-appropriate Humor: Spend hours touching a representation of yourself

Do you like using your tablet for more than just playing games? Like, watching videos? We have a launch trailer for Magicka: Wizards of the Square Tablet, how about giving that a look?

Great to see more from Paradox on the tablet market!

I bought the game. Thought it was fun. Showed it to my wife, who also bought it for her ipad!

Really it is a neat game that work really well on the ipad. We haven't had time to try it in multiplayer, but I am really looking forward to it.
 
Thank you for taking you time to give us feedback. I 'm happy to hear that you enjoy it. Keep an eye out for our next title for the tablet market: Leviathan: Warships

I hope its for android also. I also hope you guys publish more tablet games in the future, only good can come from it,
 
The game is great fun. Touch is definitely better suited than keyboard/mouse for spell mix-n-mayhem.

Any reason you are not making use of the game center on the iOS version? You are losing on giving the game more visibility among friends...
