Local Coop ?

[GHelmet]

Before buying i would like to know if we can play it locally.

[[VGM] Redbl0odx]

No, sadly.

[GHelmet]

Then its a No-Go. I dont understand why they havent built in Coop. this is clearly a game made for coop.

[Mr. Stimpson]

Right? Companies really suck recently with adding local coop to games that should have them.

i bought the game thinking it is included just like the switch version multiple devices partying together. just lovely...

[Mustangh]

+1 to this.

I will keep tabs on the game and if they add it i will buy it.

What a waste... Seemed such a perfect game for local coop!

The maps can be sorta big, with certain charecters being able to go in specific areas (The dual dagger dude can float and wall jump into areas) What makes you think this game would be great for local co op? I'm all for local co op play, but some games just don't really work for that without gimping the overall gameplay

Same. This was a DUMB decision to not have couch co-op and LAN! I have 3 other players in my house and that means they missed selling 3 additional copies for not being ready.

Preety sure this game isnt gonna get a couch co-op.... and why even need LAN? You all have computers? Clearly you are on the net, wouldnt your room mates have the net as well? As for couch, I already stated that unless you want the camera panning so far back that you can't even see the charecters, couch co-op just wouldnt work for this.

Switch version didnt have same system local.
No LAN is the real question.

Being splitscreen would make navigating menus mid-battle a huge pain on 1/4 of a screen unless you had a 4k monitor. Even on my 1440p setup I'm not sure it would be detailed enough to show 4x the screen and still be playable.

The game simply isn't built for couch co-op. You have sections where the party splits because only some characters can go through with double jumps or other abilities of the sort, so shared screen isn't an option with this game. Personally I'm partial to a such an option like with Crystal Chronicles or Dragon's Crown and I would have loved if the game was made like those but this game simply wasn't built for that but for a portable console experience.

Just have a range limit and let the camera zoom out a bit more when people are fairly far apart; would be enough.
From what people are saying it barely even has online anyways, but multiplayer seems to be the big seller for the game so.....I don't see this game doing all that great.
If you pick one thing to be your thing, you should at least do it well.

[athleticyoshi]

You can end up VERY far away from each other. Most stages are massive. And changing that would mean redesigning lots of stuff from scratch, since you wouldn't be able to split between objectives and such.

Implementing core ideas in an already completed game is really hard. If they make a sequel or spiritual successor they could make it closer to a beat em up than an action platformer, that would be super nice and multiplayer could be much better than this.

clearly you don't play with a nearly fixed 500+ ping.
and for me, what i wanted is 4 computers in the same network being able to play lag free.
