Action adventure games are usually a solo affair. Drop a player into a dark world, give them some swords to swing and some things to upgrade, then let them run around for a few hours before showing an ending. Hooray, you just metroidvaniaed! If you want co-op, though, the genre usually sends you elsewhere. Enter TRISTOY, a short platform adventure ...

And... it's... out! TRISTOY caught our attention when it promised a metroidvania experience that was not only steeped in story but also exclusively co-op. No solo play, just you and a local or online friend solving puzzles and exploring a twisted world of danger.

Have you ever thought the metroidvania "genre" needed to be a little more cooperative in nature? Uniworlds Game Studios has heard your cries in the dark and is getting ready to deliver. TRISTOY is coming to PC via Steam in mid-January. Not only does it have a two player co-op mode, but it requires it.
