It's unusual for bullet heaven games (à la Vampire Survivors) to feature online co-op. That's part of what makes Entropy Survivors, the "bullet heaven roguelike" from First Break Labs, so exciting. Not only does the game have 4-player online co-op, but it has just gotten a Hard mode in celebration of its first anniversary. Now a team of four can face extra-tough challenges together and unlock new skins for their trouble.
Tribute Games and DotEmu struck gold with TMNT: Shredder's Revenge, one of the most popular beat 'em ups in recent memory.

A PlayStation 5 version was due to arrive this week, but unfortunately, Sony players will have to remain lonely for a little longer. The PlayStation version has been delayed at the last minute.

Are we alive here at Co-Optimus? Yes, we're alive! We've just been super busy with work and saving the world and stuff. But no matter how busy we are, we still appreciate a good deal. That's what caught my eye with Humble Bundle's Momcore Games For a Busy Life Bundle. The bundle includes up to ten Steam games for $10, including the cooperative APICO and Onsen Master from Whitethorn Games. Not too shabby!
