What are your favourite local co-op games?

Mini_Moonpie@kbin.social · 1 year ago

A lot of great games have already been mentioned. Here are some options that I don’t think anyone has mentioned yet:

Assault Android Cactus - twin stick shooter (to access the start menu, you must be inside of a stage, not in the map)
Jamestown - bullet hell (get original game, Jamestown+ does not work on Steam Deck)
Broforce - 2D side scrolling action game (there’s a free version, Expendabros, that you can try out)
Gauntlet - dungeon crawler
Guns, Gore & Cannoli - side-scrolling shooter (it plays on Steam Deck, but throws an error when you exit, so you might have to close it directly on the Steam Deck or mess with compatibility options, I’m not sure)
Hammer Watch - dungeon crawler (need to grab a community controller layout - there is one specifically for co-op)
Monaco - stealth co-op heist
Human Fall Flat - physics puzzle adventure
Wizard of Legend - roguelike
Divinity Original Sin - turn based rpg (might want to check out the second entry as it is supposed to be even better)

These games are in my backlog and verified on Steam Deck, but I haven’t played them yet:

Children of Morta - roguelike hack and slash
Darksiders Genesis - hack & slash adventure
Huntdown - 2d sidescrolling shooter

I forgot to mention, there are a few curators that I follow on Steam for co-op games:

Good list, lot of good games there.

Jamestown+ is supposed to work if you put force_compat_profile=true %command% in launch options, but I only own the original Jamestown so I haven’t tried it.

I just tested it and it works! I didn’t need to use the Compatibility page to force a proton version either, just typed that into the launch options. Thanks!
