TIL Helldivers 1 was a top down shooter. Not from the article, I was just curious.

Helldivers 2 is arrowhead's first foray into a game that's not top-down, which makes it more impressive. It also allows Helldivers 1 to remain unique and enjoyable on its own, because the two play quite differently, and I still really love the first one

i would be very down to play an fps magicka extraction game.

I mean there was Dark & Darker

Who knows if that's gonna get put back on steam at some point.

Very different in tone and mechanics though. Need light hearted Norse satire with a crazy combinatorial magic system.

I love 2 and still have 1 wishlist, are they still doing stuff with 1? Is it worth getting?

1 is done, but it's had more time to receive updates, so it has plenty of things to unlock and use. Arrowhead basically took what they could of Helldivers and translated it to 3D as best as they could, sort of like Risk of Rain 1 to 2, so some knowledge and all stratagem inputs will be similar.

As long as you're cool with top down shooters I think it's still great

They also made Magicka which was a very fun and funny game back in the day!

Really? Makes sense. Someone on that team must love teamkilling.
