Today Shadowrun Chronicles - Boston Lockdown heads out of its early access on Steam and into the masses. Last night Locke and I decided to check out the turn based tactical RPG set in the Shadowrun universe and see what it has to offer. Very few games in this genre have attempted to do co-op, let alone two to four player co-op, so how does it work?
It's that time of year where I'm glad the early spring releases were worth a damn, because co-op games are few and far between in the days ahead. Luckily we have a few potential contenders dropping this week:
Developer Codemasters has announced that the next installment in the Overlord series, Overlord: Fellowship of Evil, will be coming to PC on August 25, 2015. Various platforms versions for both PlayStation 4 and Xbox One have been revealed to be coming as well, so almost everyone can experience it.
PC may have gotten Warframe's Sanctuary Update back in March, but it just dropped last week for PS4 and Xbox One players. Sanctuary adds a slew of new content, improvements, and tweaks as well as the new Chroma Warframe.
Well it's about time! A seemingly simple feature Starbound players have been calling for since day one is the ability to bookmark discovered planets for easy travel. At long last, storing the cool worlds you found is as simple as clicking "add bookmark"!
Treyarch is the last Call of Duty developer to actually implement a co-op campaign in a Call of Duty game, that was all the way back in 2008's Call of Duty: World at War. And while just about every game since has had a co-op mode, usually a spin-off like Zombies or Spec-Ops, the story in the Call of Duty games have been devoid of cooperation - it was always you against the world. But not anymore.
Bloodsports.TV is the cooperative “MOBA-like” game I’ve been looking for over these past few years. It drops much of the competitive metagame concepts, like laning, jungling, and last hit, in favor of focusing on a friendly, team-based survival experience....
Hey guys, whatcha playing? The Co-Optimus staff is all about board games, writing, and coding this weekend, though we'll all probably end up spending time with a video game or two by the time next week rolls around. Let's see what everyone's up to.
Bundle Stars has put the finishing touches on a brand new pack of games for the end of the month, and it's got a whole lot of co-op for not a whole lot of money. The Indie Legends Bundle includes some famous releases from the last few years like Monaco and Guacamelee along with a few Early Access and single player games.
The latest Bloodborne patch went live today via Update 1.03, which cleaned up a few small issues that many members of the community have pointed out. Another change was also added due to the most recent PS4 update.
Humble Bundle's latest pay-what-you-want Weekly Bundle offers a slate of Steam-redeemable multiplayer games, including several with co-op modes.
You've battled aliens insects, cyborg freaks, and illuminate tricksters across hundreds of worlds in the constant galactic battle defending Super Earth. You've also died like a trillion times on various alien planets, and your body (if it wasn't smashed into paste by one of your own drop pods) was probably defaced by alien scum. Such is the eventual fate of all who join the Helldivers.
