The game is light in tone and filled with humorous references to movies like Braveheart, Total Recall and Die Hard. You shouldn’t be expecting to find much of a backstory or character development when battling to the death with characters like an Arnold Schwarzenegger or Silvester Stallone clone. Aside from the training level, there is no single player campaign to be found and the characters are all 80’s clichés. In The Showdown Effect you become an action hero, straight from an eighties action flick, cheesy one-liners included. This time around you don’t run around in robes shooting bullets and magic at your enemies. What kind of concoction do you get after pressing the smoothie button? Well, the substance that comes out has a name – The Showdown Effect!Īrrowhead Studios has recently released their follow up to the indie-hit Magicka. Let’s say you own a magic blender which happens to contain a bunch of 80’s style action hero’s, a 2.5D version of Unreal Tournament and levels reminiscent of Super Smash Bros.
