  This was going to be my recommendation. Probably not what OP wants, but definitely what they asked for!

    Is it good solo? I don’t have a lot of time for games but this looks like it might be able to scratch my (MMO)RPG itch a bit without being too much of a time sink.

      In my opinion, no, it was too hard.

      I enjoyed it solo, though it did become impossibly hard at one point. I don’t know if you need to have friends to help or if I just needed to be better at the game!

        I definitely completed it solo. Finding spell books definitely helps, but just crafting spells with the given elements can be more than enough to muddle through.

        You can give yourself armor to assist in your normal squishy wizard self that definitely helps with the tougher bits.

        What’s important is the combos. There are very powerful combos that render the game very easy.

  Fair warning that when I played it with a friend (two-ish years ago), it was broken and abandoned. Couldn‘t play in co-op for more than 30 minutes without a disconnect, some DLCs didn‘t even start, singleplayer you had to downgrade to an older version or else it crashes every so often. Every loading screen has you praying the game doesn‘t poop the bed. It was probably fun at some point, but it needs engineering attention and hadn‘t gotten that in years when I last tried it.

    Oh man, that’s really sad :(

      I‘m probably even downplaying it, my friend ragequit from the frequency of crashes lol

      Maybe Magicka 2 is the better starting point, but I wouldn‘t know since after my experience with Magicka, I didn‘t wanna touch it

      It was fun when it worked though!
