Earlier this year, PQube and developer Inti creates released a Castlevania-style action platformer called Grim Guardians: Demon Purge. Fast-forwarding to today, the title of the game has now changed to Gal Guardians: Demon Purge. There’s something you don’t see every day! Gal Guardians is available on PlayStation, Switch,...
Shoot 'em up is a genre that's pretty much always more fun with a friend, which is why we're pretty stoked for Dogfight from Hound Picked Games. The upcoming shmup will feature local 4-player drop in, drop out co-op - that's four times the fun! Dogfight features a silly sausage theme and colorful visuals, so it should be a great family game. There's a Steam demo out right now, and the full game is planned for consoles and PC by the end of the year.
It's been awhile since our co-op crew has gone on a monster hunt, but last week Locke, Mike, and Jason donned their armor and doot horns to check our the Monster Hunter Rise demo on the PC. Everything went exactly according to plan and they definitely have no rust from not playing for a while...
There are lots of Diablo-looking action RPGs in the world today, so how do you make your new game stand out? Local co-op is a good step, but co-op's no rarity either. What if the players could turn from guys into animals and ride each other around, though? Now we're talking! That's Coridden, an upcoming Steam game from Aftnareld, which is totally the name of a company, so don't even ask. The game won't be out until next year, but you can try the demo right now.
Rogue Legacy is one of the finest Roguelite games ever made, but it lacks one important feature: co-op. Enter Plague Breaker from Canadian developer Wozzle Games, a Roguelite that channels the look of the GameBoy Advance Castlevanias while adding split-screen local co-op. The game won't launch on Steam Early Access until September, but there...
Microsoft is holding its own virtual demo showcase, similar to what Steam did a few weeks back. The focus is on indie games, with over 70 unreleased Xbox games that will be available to download and play between July 21 -27.
As part of the Steam Game Festival 2020, a limited set of games are getting some timeboxed demos. One of those is Project Haven, a tactical RPG set in a gritty futuristic city. There's definitely some Syndicate like vibes from this one, with a splash of XCOM - but Project Haven looks to do some unique things with camera angles possibly giving players some more control.
Just last week I mentioned to someone that demos "weren't really a thing" anymore. Though I suppose, when you think about it, alphas and betas have taken the place of those. But fret not - because The Red Solstice 2: Survivors is making demos sexy again by having a demo version of the game made available on June 16th. Even better, the demo is focused purely on co-op play with your friends!
If you’re hungry for some adorable 2 player co-op or just a simple, visually-pleasing romp, you may want to give The Last Crystal a try now that the demo has gone live on Steam. In the super cute gameplay trailer (below) you can see the puzzle-solving co-op game in action as the heroes go about spreading flames, fighting monsters, upgrading their stats, traversing a variety of environments, talking with pandas, and more. While the date of the Kickstarter remains TBD, you can still enjoy a playable demo of the project before pledging your support.
While the title has been available since July on the PlayStation 4 and the Nintendo Switch, Dragon Quest Builders 2 shifts over to PC next Tuesday, December 10. Square Enix released a playable demo for the game just this week so you'll have a chance to try it before you decide to buy.
Four years ago, the development team at Dead Mage held a successful Kickstarter campaign for their action-RPG, Children of Morta. There's been a lot of work done on the title since then and if you're interested in checking it out before its impending release this Summer, then you've got 72 hours to get a free preview.
It's FRRRRRRRRIIIIIIIIIIIIII-YAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYY! Woooo! If you're stoked for a brief break from the daily grind and looking for something new to play/do this weekend, then you could hop over to 2Players' website and pick up a free demo of their puzzle/platformer, Super Co-Op Adventure. The title has some very interesting mechanics where you not only control the two characters, but also utilize the "LowNet" to manipulate the environment.
