    "The gameplay won't change too much though, as players will still have access to the seven spell elements at the press of a finger to combine spells in effective and unintentionally hilarious ways.

    It will also support co-operative play for up to four players, which is cross-platform compatible so that iOS and Android users can play together.

    Magicka: Wizards of the Square Tablet was not given an exact release date, though it is expected to arrive in the coming weeks."

    I admit I would have preferred a port of the original one, but it seems like a CO OP Battleheart/Castle Crasher so it could turn up good.

    A game (possibly, or likely) inspired by an iPhone classic, but only for tablets? Curious.

    And perhaps a wasted opportunity. Seems like the game would be an excellent fit for the smaller screen as well.

    Agreed; since hypothetically this seems suitable for smaller screens I wonder if the source article is using the term "iPad" to indicate a large screen personal preference for an otherwise Universal build.

    Undeadcow, are you like the sole survivor of Killercow's attack? :confused:

    Or are you just the one cow that cannot be killed by the killer of cows? :confused:

    ...Great minds think alike... by that I mean I won't comment on the unspecified relationship or lack thereof between my user name and killercow's due to matters of a classified nature.

    Yeah let's not get into that, they wouldn't understand our "relationship"...

    It'd probably make as much sense to them as a game like Magicka being an iPad exclusive.

    I think I'm going to now refer to Killercow as The Failed Assassin and Undeadcow as The Survivor.

    Oh, this is a thread about Magicka. Forgot.

    ...

    So how different is this supposed to be from the PC game?

    Well it's a sidescroller now with a focus on 4 players coop. You still mix and match spells but it's done in a very streamlined way. You can catch a glimpse of gameplay on the trailer at the bottom of page 1.
