Couch co-op thread - eviltoast

My younger cousin comes over today (like every few months) and we will be playing some couch coop games over the weekend.

So far we tried a lot of games and found some great ones along the way. Sidescrollers work sometimes, but third person and isometric is better. And I won’t touch another twin stick shooter haha. Do y’all have any suggestions, it’s always so much work to find a good new game (as opposed to just going after steam review, buying, and returning within 30min of playtime because it sucked).

Honorable mentions:

  • Swords of Ditto (literally no one plays this, but it’s a pretty neat co-op zelda-like
  • Darksiders Genesis (hack n slash)
  • It takes Two (co-op puzzle)
  • Children of Morta (great roguelite)

I also bought Secret of Mana, maybe we’ll play this.

    Most of my suggestions that I’ve been playing with my brother are already posted, so I’ll just add 3 more I haven’t seen yet:

    • Human Fall Flat
    • Enter the gungeon
    • Vampire survivors

      I’m going to second human fall flat, it’s a lot of fun. I’ll also add any of the Lego games to the list but the star wars one are definitely the best.

      If you like Enter The Gungeon, definitely try AK-xolotl. Same type of game, but more linear in a way. Rather than a single dungeon with multiple rooms to explore around, you go into a room, clear it, then choose 1 of 2 doors. Each door has a symbol to tell you which reward you will get after clearing it. Modding your weapons is much easier too.
