Title: Co-Op games out there?
Post by: Luna_blade on 17, May, 2016, 04:46:31 AM
Wow two questions on the same day!

Me and my friend have been searching for good co-op games for a long time.
We already played a lot like: LOZ:Four sword, Secret of Mana, Rayman, Smash bros. Brawl, lego games, etc.
Also some N64 hacks.
We don't really like to play shooters together, MMO's are also not a thing.
Most searches also resulted in Souls-series or Trine and sometimes roguelikes, but we don't really like those.

Does anybody have a good co-op game suggestion?

Didn't mention Terraria or Minecraft?  I'll just assume those are not an option, though.

I don't believe this is an option either, but I do know that Dungeon Defenders 2... is partly a shooter (Maybe not with guns..), but  I don't think it is ever you against your friends. (Friends are allies fighting the CPU.) -That's a Tower Defense game with Build and Combat phases.

Probably not an option either, but could even consider something like Worms... (I found it comical when I first played it.... but it's like a shooter, sort of... (If you count thr fact it has Bazooka and stuff.) ... I see it more on the strategy side than the actual "shooting"... )  But I forget if there are any teamplay in that or not... (I know there is vs. though... but that isn't what co-op is, now is it. ;) ) EDIT: Well, a quick google did bring about some results, at least!
@Worms: I know it as two different things... A 2D game... where you "bomb" the landscape and terrain disappears... and a 3D game, self-explanatory.

Verdict:  Um... No idea?  But it would be cool to know what you find.

Baldur's gate. Every one of them on PC, PS2. Also the other games in the serie, like never winter nights.

Dark souls 3 can be played as a co-op, but I think it kills the fun a bit. (you said it)

Depends on why you play, actually.  I think that co-op PvP may be particularly fun in that series, since you can make it group vs group.

The N64 Mario Party games are pretty great, but they are even better if you can get more players. Even though they aren't co-op unless you play them co-op.


As Fox said, Terraria and Minecraft are pretty good for that. The downside with Minecraft is that it can be resource intensive sometimes and, in my opinion, incredibly boring after a while without ways to keep it fresh. Playing with people helps of course. Don't Starve Together is also really good if you're up for a Burton-esque survival experience. I think Stardew Valley is going to get multiplayer down the road if you are into games like Animal Crossing or Harvest Moon, but there is no set date for that from what I can tell.

I also remember reading about a WIP Skyrim multiplayer mod, so that could be another option if you're into open-world fantasy games. The nice thing about Skyrim modding is that it's also pretty easy to install and [de]activate mods at a whim once you get the basics set up.

Mario party might be a thing actually.

Don't starve? I really dislike that game. Great artwork, but the whole survival genre (and how that game visualised it especially) doesn't attract me. But I like roguelikes.
