Here's kind of an insane deal for anyone who's up for a few intense strategy-oriented co-op games. Arcen Games, the studio behind A Valley Without Wind and Shattered Haven, currently haa seven games on sale ranging from 50-85% off. The best part is most of them have co-op!
Arcen Games has made a name for themselves for making cooperative games within an established genre and adding their own twist, as we've seen with A Valley Without Wind, and to a degree, AI War. The latest game from this seemingly always busy developer is the environmental puzzler (with zombies), Shattered Haven. It's a different take on the usual zombie game and it works, in its own way.
Arcen Games is on a roll. With A Valley Without Wind 2 hitting just a few months ago, the team has already shipped a new release. Shattered Haven is a top-down action adventure game stuffed with roguelike elements that just appeared on GOG.com. It even has a two player local co-op feature, just in case you want to sit down with a friend and outwit some zombies.
Arcen Games has a solid track record for co-op gamers. With all three of their major releases now supporting co-op play (AI War, Tidalis, and A Valley Without Wind) - it should come as no surprise their next game will also support co-op play. Called Shattered Haven, Arcen's next game continues the trend that each title they tackle is vastly different from the previous. This time the game is being touted as an action adventure with some rogue-like qualities.
