multiplayer this means that we will be
excluding otherwise excellent games like
left 4 dead number 10 scream sheep

typically the practice of speaking at
another players screen is frowned upon
but not in this game however screen
cheat is structurally very familiar as
competitive shooters go given that it
involves multiple people running around
colourful maps and trying to gun one
another down where things get
interesting is in the details
each player is invisible and the game is
always played split-screen requiring you
to glance at other screens to get the
drop on opponents if that weren’t enough
to draw you in the challenge presented
by the game’s one-shot weapons and
unique modes might just do the trick
number 9 years of war for aka gears of
four you kept our armor
picking up 25 years after the ending of
Gears of War 3 this installment keeps
the series is approached cooperative

involved
now break keep talking and nobody
explodes okay I see a bomb it’s got

one by one left to right okay talk about
defusing tension right there’s a lot of
fun to be had with the nerve wracking
experience that is keep talking and
nobody explodes level by level one
player must solve various intricate
puzzles that appear on the sides of
randomly generated suitcase bomb in
order to shut him off meanwhile a second
person is expected to aid their friend

number six towerfall ascension
[Music]
sometimes simplicity is best when you
need to bring a party together
enter towerfall ascension a multiplayer
combat game ported over to various
systems after its initial launch on the
Ouya console whoo ascension pits players
against one another in a 2d fantasy
themed arena with the goal being to slay
one another with head stomps and arrows
it’s straightforward but really
addictive relying largely on the quaint
charm of its visuals and the friendly
rivalry of its premise of course map
specific hazards and a handful of useful
power-ups certainly don’t hurt
[Music]
number five lovers in a dangerous
space-time
lovers in a dangerous space-time
features a crew of a starship must
travel across the galaxy in order to
battle and overcome a range of
constellation themed bosses between two
and four players serve as the
aforementioned crew Manning different
stations with the expectation being that
they coordinate and cooperate so as to
traverse the deadly mazes the game
manages to balance challenge and
excitement in its cooperative
environment keeping its audience on
their toes with vibrant yet lethal
obstacles and adversaries add to that at
bright cheerful visual style and you
have quite the pleasant adventure on
your hands
number four Castle Crashers have you
heard the one about the Knights who set
out to save some princess generic as the
premise sounds where the behemoth second
title Castle Crashers truly
distinguishes itself is in its sense of
humor and its embrace of the coop
mindset anywhere from two to four
players can jump into the action slicing
and dicing through animals rope Knights
and a whole assortment of eclectic
adversaries the game is abundance of
sight gags and scatological jokes keeps
things irreverent especially when
contrasted with the hand-drawn animation
style number three overcook turns out
you really can’t have too many cooks at
least set the sense we gleaned from
overcook a cartoony kitchen sim about
preparing meals in a limited span of
time while there is the option for a
lone player to control two cooks at a
time overcooked is at its best when
local people are tackling the various
kitchen challenges that’s to say nothing
of the levels themselves which take the
concept of a familiar kitchen
environment and toy with it in
interesting ways pirate ships Space
Station’s a pair of moving trucks
there’s no shortage of difficult yet
endearing kitchens to run around in
[Music]
number two mid hawk duel for honor duel
for glory duel to be eaten by the giant
flying space worm in hog where’s the
influence of Norse mythology and classic
arcade gaming with prime more
importantly it’s a swiftly paced and
deceptively simple one-on-one sword
fighting game where success means
catching one’s opponents off guard it’s
just the right time there’s a tense
energy to stabbing your friends avatar
running from screen to screen and
surviving to be swallowed by the
creature kneel hugger or something with
an art style that harkens back to the
Atari 2600 era games and a compelling
lineup of team stages nidhogg is in a
league of its own
[Music]
before we unveil our top pick here are a
few honorable engines
[Music]
number one rocket lead
developed as a follow-up to psionics his
earlier game supersonic acrobatic rocket
powered battle cars jeez wydad in a
catch on with that title this or
reasonably titled game makes the core
experience work better than before
rocket League takes the fundamental ball
centric playoff soccer and mixes in what
might be radio-controlled cars for good
measure
creating a back-and-forth of opposing
teams trying to score on one another the
game’s inclusion of local split-screen
makes it perfect for couch competitions
especially as players start to get a
handle on the various skill sets
involved sharp views of the blue orange
contrast and a finely tuned approach to
driving mechanics just rounded out the
quality on display in rocket League
