Die Download-Erweiterung Vietnam für Magicka wurde gestern veröffentlicht und schickt eure Zauberer ist ein eher ungewöhnliches Szenario für das Genre - u.a. könnt ihr einen Napalmbombenschlag anfordern. Für 4,99 Euro kann das DLC-Paket runtergeladen werden.

I love the smell of Magicka in the morning. The whimsical wizards of Paradox Interactive and Arrowhead Game Studios today announced the deployment of Magicka: Vietnam, the DLC for action-adventure game Magicka.  The DLC Magicka: Vietnam for the friendly fire-filled indie hit is now available on all leading digital distribution platforms for $4.99.

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 honor and achievements as you 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, in your stylish robe fatigues and hood-friendly helmet.

Magicka: Vietnam features:
-Vietnam themed game world with a twist
-2 Challenge maps (1 scenario challenge & 1 survival challenge)
-New Vietnam themed enemies
-Many new Vietnam era weapons
-Stylish GI Wizard robe
-New Magick – Napalm strike
-Innovative and dynamic spell casting system with thousands of possible combinations
-Up to four player co-op in all game modes as well as single player option
-Experience the parody and satire of a cliché fantasy world/jungle war
