Is anyone playing this game at all?

Hi guys, I grew to like this game but I can feel it could be way more fun if played with someone. Yet quickmatch online coop doesnt hook me up with anyone after 5 minutes :(((

You can see the number of online players here: https://steamcharts.com/app/686200
On the downtime maybe like 30 people, other times 100+.

Thank you kind sir! Its still sad that there is no way of playing random coop after minutes of waiting. And I presume the other players are either single-campaign or friends co-op. Anyway the game is nice :)

More fun in singleplayer for me personally.

Make sure you switch your Steam Download Region (Steam->Settings->Download->Downlaod Region) and set something like USA. That usually helps too.

My peeve going back to early access is there's little compelling reason to play this in co-op. The zombie mode -- because the enemies can be so much tougher -- maybe adds a bit more reason to work together to take them down faster.

In SWAT FPS-style games (like Sierra's SWAT 3 or Irraitonal's SWAT 4), there's real reason for players to work together in terms of breaching, flashbangs, recon etc. And timing and coordinating those types of actions has real meaning. DK:AS doesn't really have anything like that. You don't have any real need for another player to handle breaching while you do something else. And of course if you have a later shotgun you can just pretty well obliterate everything on a map.

For better or worse DK:AS is just a butt kicking side scroller so aside from sharing the occcasional medkit drop, I just never really found much benefit to co-op in this when I've played with other players. That's probably at least part of the reason nobody is playing it online most of the time. You can beg on Discord, which is what most people suggest when any co-op game has few players actively playing it.

I think it's more about grabbing some beer/whiskey and having fun with a friend and not "We have to be tactial here!", "We have to make a strategic plan"
The game reminds me more of those "Grab a friend and kick ass" games of old like Streets of Rage, Golden Axe, Final Fight...you name it (also all games you can perfectly play alone but as with everything in life: It's more fun with a friend). I guess just having fun with a friend playing a game isn't in style anymore, everybody has to do a "role" and fulfill a "need" or otherwise it's "worthless"?

I would love to play the game right now. If you want to join me you're more than welcome. Otherwise it would take me 20 minutes in solo play then I'd get bored and play something else. So if you're on or you'd ever wanted to play with me just pop my little head and message me.
