No coop in Portrait of Ruin?

For those who don't know Portrait of Ruin on DS had a Boss Rush mode that could be played with other player via wi-fi connection. But as the Steam store page doesn't mention anything about multiplayer modes I'm affraid it's not available in Dominus Collection

Yes, they removed co-op mode from this version. On DS console you could select it from the main menu but here ir's gone completely.

What a shame. Thanks for checking this out.

That's bad! It was a rare 2P metroidvania, and at least "Couch Co-Op" could allow us to enjoy it more

Indeed :/

Probably not too big a loss if it was just the boss rush.

However, while it's not exactly the answer you're looking for, you could probably simulate a co-op experience in single player with clever use of a second controller and binding its functions to the mouse and keyboard. Since in single player, the second character can be controlled with the stylus, and cast spells with the R-button.

Edit:
I uploaded a community layout called "portrait of ruin faux co-op". It's not perfect, but it could be used as a learning tool if you decide to fiddle with it.
