Local Multiplayer?

[Schnitzelfee]

Does this have local multiplayer support? And when yes, how much players?
The store description isn't really clear on that matter...

Local multiplayer?

Any one know if this game has local multiplayer?

[Insta]

No, it doesn't. If you want Local MP, I bet the PS4 version is what you want. If that one has it, I mean. I doubt it does.

[Insta]

No local multiplayer from what I've heard.

Bad ports and crashes included? Seems legit.

Local multi available but I cant able to start with player 2 controller.

[Mairo the bear]

Up to 4 players local players which can include bots.
Online (tetris live) needs to be disabled though and there's bug that GameLord mentioned above that only first controller is actually useable. This basically means that right now, 2 player coop with keyboard and single controller is possible.

I can only add bots to party, how do you add people, I add my friend and it tells me they are a bot and can't be added, weird.

First of all, make sure you have "keyboard" selected in the extra settings, as I said before, second controller will not work at all,[pcgamingwiki.com] so first player needs to play with keyboard and second player with single plugged controller.
Press primary button from the controller (with Xbox controller, A button). Then they are added as "GUEST 1" (because PC still can't handle multiple local accounts for some reason).
If you are trying to play local game only and you are told that no bots can join, make sure Tetris(R) Live is off. Tetris(R) Live means you are going to play online, where bots can't join in. However you can add up to three local players for online game if you want, but even at release, nobody plays online and that controller bug prevents it

So basically if you did everything right, you should have menu looking like this: http://i.imgur.com/eGalSsG.jpg

You can't add online friends to party. Coop is local only. When going online, it's only versus and only trough matchmaking.

Again, pretty huge oversight, especially considering both steam and uplay are required with both of them offering friendlists and multiplayer systems and that PC games are more online centric.

Those "Tetribot" under the "Tetris(R) Live" button are bots which you can add for local games.

Ahh, thanks for the info, even doing matchmaking at the same time we can't find each other, oh well.

[Mairo the bear]

I'm genuinely interested that does the matchmaking even work?
I assumed it was the lack of players (which is funny as I remember always getting full lobbies even with the Tetris Party Deluxe DS and Tetris Axis 3DS versions) but now that I personally haven't gotten anyone else trough matchmaking, nobody else has mentioned successful online game and now you mention that you can't find each other even with simultaneous matchmaking.

[Magic Pumpkin]

Hmm, good point
