This Vampire Survivors-style shooter should be a blast in local co-op.

Survivor Mercs to Gain Couch Co-op Alongside Console Release This Summer

There are plenty of Vampire Survivors-style "Bullet heaven" games in the sea, but it's hard to care about the ones that don't have co-op. If you don't at least bring the same features to the table as the game you're inspired by, what's the point? Well, Survivor Mercs from Wandering Wizard is already out in Steam Early Access, and when it fully launches, it will bring the co-op. Having tried the single-player demo on Steam, I'm excited for it.

The Steam Early Access roguelike now lets players create and share maps.

Cthulhu's Reach Gets a Map Editor in Latest Update

Cthulhu's Reach from The Fine Arc and First Break Labs is a Steam Early Access roguelike shooter based on H.P. Lovecraft's Cthulhu mythos. It features a unique retro art style and isometric graphics, plus the all-important 4-player online co-op. While the game had some good foundations when it debuted, it was somewhat lacking in content. The latest update goes a long way to rectifying that by adding a map editor, not to mention some balance and bug fixes.

Scott will fight to save his band in this upcoming beat 'em up from the makers of Shredder's Revenge.

Wow, Scott Pilgrim EX Is Coming in 2026 From Tribute Games

Tribute Games might be working on this year's most anticipated beat 'em up (MARVEL Cosmic Invasion), but apparently that's not enough. The Montreal-based developer craves an even bigger piece of the pie, so they've just announced another brawler for next year: Scott Pilgrim EX. That's cool enough news on its own, but much of the talent behind the original Scott Pilgrim VS. The World: The Game will be involved. We can't complain about that!

The next big project from Tribute and Dotemu is sure to find the same success: MARVEL Cosmic Invasion, another cooperative brawler that's coming out later this year. Adding to the excitement, two new characters have just been announced for Cosmic Invasion: the irascible Rocket Racoon and the sensational She-Hulk.

Our hands-off preview lets you know what to expect from this upcoming zombie survival shooter.

Drop Point Aims to Improve on the Open-World Survival Shooter Genre

Drop Point is an upcoming open world survival game from a New Zealand developer called Tiny Indie Studio. It will offer both first-person and third-person gameplay, allowing large groups of players to explore a zombie-infested island, scavenge for resources, build bases, and fend off hordes of enemies. That might sound a lot like DayZ and other games, but Drop Point has plenty of good ideas that will help it stand out when it arrives on Steam Early Access later this year.

Oh no, Earth Defense Force 6's Online Co-op Has Stopped Working on Some Steam Decks

As loyal readers know, Earth Defense Force 6 is one of my very favorite games. My wife and I have collectively put hundreds of ours into it, mostly on the Steam Deck, Valve's portable gaming device. Many of those hours were spent in online co-op, a key selling point of the EDF series. Sadly, however, we can no longer play together fro...
