Magicka: The Other Side of the Coin lets the player experience a completely new take on the Magicka universe, by assuming the roles of Alucart the Vampire and his Necromancer henchmen and fighting against the forces of good with the purpose of thwarting Vlad's attempt to improve the poor relations between the humans, the dwarves and the elves.

The expansion follows in the footsteps of the highly popular Magicka: Vietnam, with objective based level progression, a new story and brand new playable characters.
