Local co-op is really the bread and butter of developer The Behemoth, and they have more games worth checking out. Sure, you can play it solo (or online), but we love playing with friends right on the couch-coordinating the “cat-fish” fight is way more insane when your companions are right beside you. There are tons of weapons, animal companions, and secret heroes to find and fight over, too. Each kill gets you experience for stronger sword swings or better magical attacks. Each player controls their own knight in a seriously warped fantasy kingdom, running to the right and slaughtering countless enemies through forests, towns, castles, dungeons, and more.
Castle Crashers revels in that joy-it practically bathes in it. There’s a special joy in getting together with three friends and beating the crap out of everything. Release date: 2012 | Developer: The Behemoth | Steam
