MODERATORS
The game is made by the people who made Magica. Helldivers 1 was also full of friendly fire. Of course they stick to what works. Being careful around teammates is 50% of the gameplay, with the other 50% being what happens when someone throws a jellied gatling on a flat terrain when you are surrounded.
I played some Magicka with my partner and they really enjoyed it, which is awesome because I remember cherishing that game when it was new.
Somehow, it's piqued their interest in Helldivers, which is a weird but welcome progression in my books.
Well, the difficulty of the game is a huge barrier to some people. Magicka was made with friendly fire / fucking around in mind, Helldivers is for 100% cooperation and "tryharding" with occasional moments of silliness
The difficulty curve in Magicka is real too, especially for those who are not employing cheese tactics.
Steam/lightning shield + Rainstorm + Thunderbolt carried us pretty hard.
