Devs add 4 player co-op

[Jamie]

This is the kinda game that begs for 4 player co-op.

[boovie]

We originally wanted to have up to 4 players co-op but after the indiegogo campaign failed we had to cut some features and we decided to fully focus on 2 players and single player only. Online networking for 3 or more players is much harder to implement and also gameplay-wise it would require many changes to keep the game balanced (making rooms bigger for more players, disabling friendly-fire etc). So 4 players co-op is not currently planned, sorry.

[Tenkou]

Do we potentially see 4 player coop in future after enough copies of the game have been sold from early access?

[Horstinator]

What about 2 players on one computer?

[boovie]

2 players local coop is planned but we will focus on it later as the game gets closer to the release.
Currently we don't plan to add coop for 4 players.

[Wrecked...]

How about 3-player local co-op!!!? I look exclusively for 3+ player local coop games, because I decided to have more than 1 child ;) No point in buying a 2-player local coop game, since it would mean one child would have to sit out, as they both only want to play with me... :)

pls concentrate more on single player .... real rogue likes are sp..... or max 2 players..... i can see in this game how it suffers from MP sadly, its fine for sp so far but dont make it worse

This is sad, maybe the devs can make a wish come true?

Anyways, just saw this game by just randomly jumping around game store pages and landed right here. I can say with complete honesty, I love what I see here. Just that 1st gameplay trailer looks like hella fun and I love local(onine) co-op games. I about ready to jump at the "Rampage Knights 2-Pack." The reviews are all mostly positive, but just want to make sure there isn't something I would regret.

If anyone can enlighten me on some "official" developer post of future updates?
-------------Never Mind, just realized there was a "News" section in the Game Hub.

get that 2 pack man, i bought a 2 pack for me and my buddy and don`t regret 1 bit

I'm not sure... my friend and I hit each other enough.

For 4 player co-op, friendly fire would really need to be reconsidered.

[Zang]

i would love to be able to play 4 players with friendly fire! :D
i understand that it takes alot of more work but i would really be happy if they add it :)

[Crow Buddy]

I'd rather have the devs focus on perfecting the 2 player online co-op experience, honestly.

Yes, in theory, 4 player mode sounds exciting, and who didn't love the original X-Men Arcade machine with 4 playable characters? But there was no online experience to deal with.

During my online play, I've already experienced crashes, and "Assertion failed" error messages. Some great co-op games have been lost due to crushing lag and disconnects (Thankfully, you can "resume" a co-op game if you re-join it, but your partner might be gone.) Also, I've noticed playing with people from other countries can be super laggy, so that would be a factor to consider.

4-player mode would be a major undertaking, because you have to consider how all the maps were designed for 2 players. Maybe there could be an experimental, randomly-generated 4-player Arena? That might be a better way to introduce it and test it out.

What could we do to help you get 4 player co-op? Could you start another indigog campaign?
