Magicite is an addicitng game of crafting, strategy, and survival. In it, you star as a lowly peon (or other unlockible race) as you fight monsters underground in order to make your way to the surface world. There's a lot of craftible weapons, armor, and potions, as well as special abilities and hats with various effects (any TF2 player will know just how important it is to have hats in a game). The various biomes you traverse include grassland, veldt, tundra, lava, cave, and dungeon, and they are all randomly gererated, with their own sets of enemies. This adds a lot of strategy to the game, as no two areas will ever look alike or have the same enemy placement. Resource management will also be a big factor during gameplay.

The creator, Sean Young, is very dedicated to the game and has put a lot of work into it to make it the game it is today. I got this game a couple months ago [March 2014] back when it was still in ver 0.7.3., and a lot has changed since then. However, the in-game bestiary, quest generation system, and PvP battle arena that were mentioned on the game's kickstarter page have yet to be added, but that may change as time goes on. The game is now on ver 0.8 and just got a lot of new content added.

Honestly, as fun as single player is, the real fun is experiencing this game with a friend. It is a lot of fun to plan out long-term goals and strategies with them and work towards meeting those goals. When your plans go off exactly as you planned and you both display excellent coordination, it's hard not to be excited about it.

Overall, the game just keeps getting better with each update and it is still being worked on, so I would say that there is no reason to not get this game. Whether you play it alone or with a friend, you are bound to enjoy this game and also get extremely frustrated when your charater dies (I forgot to mention until now that this game uses a permadeath system), so if your character dies one you will need to start from the beginning again. It really isn't that big of a deal, but if you are someone who dislikes permadeath I would not recommend this game to you. For those who stick with it though, you will really enjoy everything this game has to offer.
