seriously...no online co-op?

HOW in 2020 are games like this not online Co-op. i was gonna buy this game, now i am not . Blazing Chrome also is not getting my money for the same reason. At there heart, side scrolling platformers are contra and metal slug clones. What was the big draw with those games? Co-op. How do most people play co-op games now ? ONLINE.....especially considering the global pandemic. super disappointing . Moving on.

"What was the big draw with those games?"

Well... 100% not the coop aspect.
The big draw was, that these games are well designed and fun to play.
Them being coop was mostly just added on for fun.
I mean, look at the Contra games where one play can kill the other one by scrolling the screen too far (or not far enough).
That alone screams "afterthought".

Just imagine dropping such a 2D masterpiece because it doesn't have online coop...

The game works perfectly with remote play, one of the benefits of getting it on steam. Gotta wait a few months though

Where you around when contra first came out ? I was, and bought it brand new for my NES and its big draw WAS that it was a co-op shooter on the NES. Same with Life Force and a few others.

How have you already played it ? also im glad you are privileged enough to have an internet connection that gives you lag free play on twitch shooters in remote play but i can assure you it adds significant lag for me in games. where as proper co-op does not .

I have tried it in remote play and it worked great for me. I do understand that it wont work for everyone though, I do have a good internet connection. Though this game should looks just as good on smal resolutions which might help with streaming

Hot tip: Huntdown works excellent on Steam Remote Play which is what we have been using for online matches. So yes, you can indeed enjoy co-op with others online!

remote play requires at least one controller though, so it's not an option for everyone like proper co op would be

You can use 2 keyboards on remote...you can fake it at least but its functional just search on google

Depends on the game. Usually yes, it'd require one player on gamepad, or at least emulating a gamepad with vJoy or something alike.

But Huntdown actually allows 2 players on keyboard just fine. Default bindings are arrow keys + Z~B for P1, JKLI + Q~R+F for P2, with everything rebindable in-game.

Honestly, the default binds are weird and impossible to play in co-op without rebinding as there's some overlapping, but would still work perfectly fine on remote play as you'd both be using separate physical keyboards.

Steam Remote Play is not a solution to the problem. It lagging and freezing. I hope you will think about add an online solution.
