Magicka dev's Helldivers out now

Helldivers

Magicka developer Arrowhead is back with four-player co-op twin-stick shooter Helldivers, a game about bringing liberty and democracy to a galaxy that doesn't seem to want it. Helldivers was first released as a PlayStation exclusive in March, but what developer can resist the allure of the personal computer?

As you might expect from a studio who made an art out of blowing your own mates into orbit, friendly fire is on and encouraged. Well, not encouraged, but if a friend just happens to wander into line of sight, that's really more their problem than yours, isn't it?

That sounds super, and Steam reviews are 'overwhelmingly positive'. If you're looking to sever what family ties remain this Christmas, you can get them playing Helldivers for £16/$20.
