Following a Fall 2022 PlayStation release in Japan and a Spring 2024 release in Asia, Earth Defense Force 6 has finally been released worldwide on PlayStation and Steam by D3 Publisher. The EDF series has long offered co-op shooting thrills via 2-player split-screen and 4-player online co-op. EDF 6 maintains those expectations while upping the ante...
After several years and much anticipation, Earth Defense Force 6 is finally available worldwide on PlayStation and Steam. The series is famous for its cooperative third-person shooting, unique B-movie atmosphere, and vast assortment of missions. We jumped at the chance to interview Nobuyuki Okajima, who is a Producer at D3 PUBLISHER Inc. about this...
Diesel Legacy: The Brazen Age is an upcoming fighting game from Maximum Entertainment. Through a couple of public playtests, we've been able to try out several of the co-op fighter's unique steampunk characters. There's no public playtest at present (other than an event demo at this weekend's Evo fighting game tournament), but a fresh trailer shows off a sultry new character named Damkina and teases an additional female fighter. Diesel Legacy needs to hurry up and come out!
Robot Entertainment's Orcs Must Die series of third-person shooter/tower defense games has been around since the Xbox 360 days. It has been three years since the third mainline game arrived, and now it's time for a new entry. Orcs Must Die! Deathtrap promises a more classic feel, plus plenty of epic combat, and 4-player online co-op (that's twice as many players as past games). It will be coming to Xbox and PC in early 2025.
Crime Boss: Rockay City from InGame Studios and 505 Games finally arrived on Steam not long ago, and it seems to be doing well there. Crime Boss famously debuted last year in somewhat rough shape but has since recovered thanks to a series of updates. The latest such update recently came out on all platforms, adding a new layout for bank heists, raising the player level cap to 155, improving game balance, and more.
Two years after Season 6, the first part of Season 6 of Cobra Kai has finally arrived on Netflix. The martial arts drama continues the story of the Karate Kid films, depicting Daniel LaRusso and Johnny Lawrence's struggles to train new students and protect them from malevolent karate teachers and students. One of the two existing games from GameMill Entertainment, Cobra Kai: The Karate Kid Saga Continues, features 2-player local co-op. Both games are on sale on various digital storefronts, so now's a great time to jump in and start busting heads.
It's the year of the Ninja Turtles, with not one, not two, but three TMNT games coming out in 2024. The second of those titles is Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Splintered Fate, which has just arrived on Switch courtesy of Super Evil Megacorp. Splintered Fate is the first Turtles roguelite, and it features 4-player local and online play. We've spent some time in co-op in order to bring you these detailed impressions.
I don't know if you've heard, but Barbie is a pretty big brand. There was this movie about Barbie last year that made like a jillion dollars, and I guess there's a popular toy line or something too. Well then, it only makes sense that a fresh barbie videogame is in the works. Barbie Project Friendship is coming from Outright Games. It will support 2-player local co-op when it arrives in October.
Castlevania: Symphony of the Night will always be remembered as the game that popularized the Metroidvania genre, and one of its key contributors is Koji Igarashi. Following a successful Kickstarter campaign, Igarashi and his studio, ArtPlay, along with 505 Games, released Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night in 2019. Bloodstained is a 2.5D ...
2016's Lost Castle is a pretty good action RPG from Singapore-based Hunter Studio. 8 years later, Lost Castle 2 is finally arriving on Steam Early Access. The sequel sports improved graphics, lots of equipment to find, and 4-player online play. It looks really promising, and it will arrive on July 25.
It's a big year for the Karate Kid franchise, with the final season of Cobra Kai debuting on July 18 on Netflix and a (probably way less good) film coming to theaters in December. GameMill Entertainment, makers of TMNT Arcade: Wrath of the Mutants, is getting in on the karate action as well. Today, they discreetly announced The Karate Kid: Street Rumble, a beat 'em up based on the first three Karate Kid films. It features 4-player local co-op, and it's coming in September!
In 2022, PRODUCTIVKELLER's indie music game, Disaster Band, debuted on Steam. Two years later, the band is now playing on Xbox, PlayStation, and Switch courtesy of Toplitz Productions! Disaster Band is a music game featuring 4-player online co-op and cross play. It looks pretty silly, but that should make for a goofy good time when playing with...
