The verdict
A hilarious, inventive spell-mixing co-op game full of friendly-fire chaos. On modern PCs it crashes constantly and multiplayer is broken, so skip it unless you'll install a community patch.
Great for
Friend groups who enjoy chaotic co-op and don't mind installing a community fix
Main risk
Constant crashes and broken online multiplayer on modern systems, even with fan patches
