Hey all Looking for some recommendations for a good button mashing hack n slash with an easy character progression/upgrade system. That I can play together with my 5 yo in coop mode on PC. Had a look around on steam but cant quite seem to find what I am looking for. Looking for the hack n slash equivalent of Tyrian / Jets N Guns 2. Thanks!
Been a while since I've played them, so not entirely sure they fit your needs, but Hammerwatch Gauntlet Forced all spring to mind. Some curve balls Dungeon Defenders (#1 would be my choice) Helldivers (not hack and slash, twin stick shooter with objectives) Stardew Valley (mostly a farming sim, there is combat in it though pretty basic) Magicka (mostly about magic, and combo-ing magic abilities, though you can get away with easier spells) Very curved curve ball Overcooked 1/2 (addictive co-op game that pretty much everyone will want to play. N.B. Will cause real life beat 'em up combat) Had a quick look on co-optimus and it says they're all 4 player local co-op, only issues is I can't remember if any of them swear or not (if that's an issue). Also +1 to torchlight as mentioned above.
My Boys love playing the first Dunged Defender with my wife. They started around 5 or 6 years in age.
Thanks for the recommendations guys. I did just try torchlight but it doesnt have an onscreen co-op LAN play only. :-( Oooh https://store.steampowered.com/app/65800/Dungeon_Defenders/ looks great will give that a go! *Edit Picked up the collectors edition with all the DLC for £20 bargain
Dungeon Defenders 1 and Magicka would be my top choices too. Also Trine, which doubles as a fantastic stimulation/learning tool, with all the physics and shape drawing.
Thank you for the recommendations and link to humble bundle, bought! Then I went through my Steam library and found a few more local multiplayer games. This is a good website to search for local MP games, just type in the name of your existing game https://www.co-optimus.com/games.php
