The unique party system and realm-switching mechanic mean that it would be quite difficult to create an enjoyable multiplayer experience. Therefore, we decided to focus all our available resources to create the best single player experience possible.

What do you not understand ? If you don't like this game design then it means this game is not made for you. I just don't understand why evey A-RPG should be the same.

With games like these, I just like to be able to play with my friends.

i dont have any friends, i dont like people, so that works out good for me, i can tolerate people if i really have to, but i would never CHOOSE to play with people.

Not everything ever has to be multiplayer, some people want an engaging single player experience that you can play at your own pace

thank god there is no mp...

[SmUtJe-SmOoTh]

Full Gamepad Suppport.No Multiplayer. So for me it sounds perfect because i hate to play with other people and enjoy every Singleplayer Game without MP Mode.If you work in a social Job everyday with people you are happy to enjoy your free time alone.

Hi everybody,
thank you for the kind words, your passion for Shadows: Awakening and supporting our decision to stick to a singleplayer-experience.
Please keep it up!

I personally like that this game has no multiplayer component. Not that I hate multiplayer or someting. I simply have no interest in it.

Anyway - This is no big developer with unlimited resouces. I am happy to see that all the sparsely available resources are put into the single player experience. I honestly think that if all the resources would be spread over single- and multiplayer development at the same time, the end result could be very well a game that would be sub par for both game types. This is simply because there is not enough manpower to give both game types the attention they would need to get to make them strong enough.

I rather have a good strong single player game, than a weak single player/multiplayer combination. Better do one thing good, than two things only half-way.

Just my 2 cents...

trust me this game will have negatives review bomb bcoz of the mp... lets take the examples of inquisitor martyr warhammer.. the game itself its good.. since the server is ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up on day 1 released.. the moments you woke up next morning its already mixed review.. dev makes game not make the server.. then why review the failed server? even monster hunter world had become meme for great game but connection server failed....

It's a beautiful game, i would buy it for sure it i didn't owned a lot of games with the same premisse and mechanisms. But if it had local MP i would buy it right now, because it's fun to play games like this with my fiance in the same screen.

For experience we have played Victor Vran, Dungeon Siege and a lot more of A-RPG with SS implemented.

@Unerde --- I'm not telling you that you should, but you should...? I mean, SS games are on high lights now, even if you set a minion to help the heroes people will see that as something.

OTHER WORDS, i can't play a game alone because she keeps me asking for Two-player games. HALPME to play your game! Set a minion! A flying one. Thanks!

The party system wouldn't work well with MP and if every A-RPG must have a MP (or have bad reviews) it would destroy any form of dev's creativity.

Oh well, back to Grim Dawn then I guess.

Shame because it looks nice but a hack n slash ARPG without multiplayer is just a complete waste of time that will die a death within a month.
