they may not be as famous as their
Triple A counterparts but they’re no
less fun Hill control welcome to
watchmojo.com and today we’ll be
counting down our picks for the top 10
indie multiplayer games number 1 okay
and that’s fourth position thank you
know if that was wrong for this list
we’re taking a look at local and online
games with innovative and unique
features that have been built outside of
the traditional powerhouses of
development guitar Valon get overload
any game that has evolved into a
mainstream title from their humble
beginnings like minecraft will
unfortunately not be up for
consideration number 10 spelunky even in
it’s free-to-play state this cave
exploration roguelike was one of the
most popular PC games and the HD remake
simply took it to another level
the weapons enemies levels and music
have all been refined but the addition
of local multiplayer is possibly the
greatest enhancement communication is
key in this chaotic 4 player co-op and a
haphazard approach will certainly end
with you killing off your allies and
have your whole party be thrown back to
the start of the game
the deathmatch is just as frantic but
now you’re rewarded for blowing up or
whipping your friends to death they just
need to add that highly demanded online
mode to really reach procedurally
generated perfection number nine tower
fall this Smash Brothers inspired bow
and arrow based brawler only gained any
attention once its exclusivity deal for
the cursed booyah console ended finally
allowing PC and ps4 players to
experience the rapid and addictive
combat
developed by a selection of creatives
sharing a house they took inspiration
from the coop nature of their living
arrangements to make a game with local
multiplayer as its central component
this makes the arrow flinging action
incredibly personal spawning arguments
galore as you bounce around the stage in
search of power-ups and all those arrows
you’ve already fired you’d better work
on your reflexes
otherwise you’ll be taken one too many
arrows to the knee number eight Castle
Crashers without platforms like Xbox
Live Arcade we might never have got this
new ground style beat em up that is
unabashedly embracing its toilet humor
you and three other Knights use
individual traits to slash and casts
found through beautifully animated
stages to rescue for kidnap princesses
of course the RPG elements within let
you boost your strength agility magic
and defense and even give you a pet to
aid in your slain these upgrades give
you a wide selection of attacks to pull
off moves which you can then inflict on
your chums in the arena’s dotted
throughout the main game it’s an
old-school experience but one that never
feels out of date
number seven don’t starve together
survival games are all the rage right
now
but few look quite as good as this dark
fantasy that seems to have come straight
from the mind to Tim Burton himself
incredibly don’t starve receive to be
together multiplayer expansion a year
after its release allowing you and your
friends to forage build and stave off
insanity together if you’re not one for
cooperative survival however you can hop
into a PvP server to actively make some
poor souls time in this oddball
nightmare as hellish as possible
it’s a brutally somber game but with
your buddies by your side you just might
make it through the winter
number six lethal League when you
initially see this game you can be
forgiven for not having a clue what on
earth is going on a crocodile a robot
and a baseball player whack in a ball at
each other won’t make any sense at first
but once you get the gist of it you’ll
be hooked the aim of the game is to
avoid a ball that’s gradually speeding
out and if you’re lucky to bunt it
straight back at your opponent even
after putting in a few hours there’ll be
times that it all gets too frantic and
you can barely see the ball but by that
time you’ll be too pumped up by the
upbeat soundtrack to even care
number five guns of Icarus online
whoever decided to use blimps as
warships is probably crazy but it sure
makes for some serious fun in this
competitive multiplayer game
teamwork and coordination is essential
to keep your airship in the sky and if
your captain can’t steer your engineer
is too slow with the hammer or your
gunner has poor aim
you’ll all be forced into a premature
meeting with the ground
with a relatively small player base you
might have to wait for a game so our
advice is to get yourself a microphone
and form your own crew if you do that
you’ll soon slot into your roles and be
working as mechanically as your Zeppelin
to rapidly become a feared presence in
the clouds all right we’re gonna hard
turn hard turn watch those engines
number four keep talking and nobody
explodes press the button in the same
position as you pressed in stage two why
wait when was one no no before you go
snipping away any wires in this bomb
defuser puzzler you ought to know that
there is a genuine chance of it tearing
your relationships apart yellow wires to
blue wire I know it’s process of
elimination shuttin up you were over
here last time there will be yelling and
misunderstandings in abundance as those
with the man you will frantically try to
make sense of a selection of puzzles
that will allow the guy with the
Clippers to prevent an explosion why are
no light on no LED but it’s got a
scratch on the bottom one
okay the scratch not I start feeling
sorry yeah the sweat will be dripping
off of your collective brow as the team
progresses through each challenging
module just make sure you’ve all studied
the diffusal manual hard beforehand to
keep the inevitable fallings out to a
minimum I don’t know that one’s not
clear I don’t know
number three duck game this arena
battler published by Adult Swim might
seem like a bit of a gimmick on the
surface but after a few short minutes
leaping and blasting around is a duck
with a random hat on you’ll realize
there’s far more substance than you
might expect the platforming and
shooting controls are incredibly tight
and easy to learn allowing players to
quickly develop strategies with an
arsenal of nearly 50 diverse weapons
each battle takes place on vastly
different stages and lasts only about 30
seconds supplementing the randomness and
never letting a match become too
one-sided you might say that the whole
experience is utterly Quackers I’ll show
myself out number two nidhogg
so many indie developers use a pixel art
style that it’s becoming something of a
cliche yet this fencing platformer has
found a way to put new life into that
retro aesthetic
in combination with a high-tempo
electronic score by Daedalus every stage
has been carefully crafted to make every
faceoff require a different approach to
kill your opponent and sprint to the end
this tug of war creates appropriately
tense confrontations and one false lunge
or acrobatically
will inevitably end with a skewering and
your colorful blood splattered all over
the place
simple to pick up but very difficult to
master nidhogg will have you craving
pixelated blood in your sleep before we
reveal our topic let’s have a look at
some honorable mentions
number one rocket lead
we have the combination of
rocket-propelled cars sports and
explosive team-based action it’s no
wonder that this sequel to the aptly
named supersonic achromatic rocket
powered battle cars has had over 15
million unique players up to 8 players
can take to the field or court for
matches resembling soccer ice hockey and
basketball all of which can be modified
in offline mode to create a crazy match
with low gravity or even a giant ball
for more discerning players there are
competitive online matches where
organization and adherence to rules is
key but for those who just want to mess
around and go for demolitions your
opportunities for customization are
endless
