Last year, River City Girls, WayForward's seminal beat 'em up RPG, arrived on mobile through the Crunchyroll Game Vault. That partnership was such a success that WayForward is bringing three more games to Crunchyroll's mobile app: Dawn of the Monsters, RWBY: Arrowfell, and Spidersaurs. This is cool news for mobile co-op fans because two of those three games support local co-op. Dawn of the Monsters is available right now, and the other titles are coming soon.

Earlier this year, WayForward and 13AM Games unleashed Dawn of the Monsters, a kaiju-themed beat ‘em up, onto consoles and PC. The game features four gigantic playable monsters and/or robots who must save the world from an alien invasion. With over 30 stages of brawling and citywide destruction, Dawn of the Monsters already packs a big punch. But the game will get even bigger when the developers add a new playable monsters - and fans can vote on the new character!

Dawn of the Monsters, the first real kaiju themed beat ‘em up, has just launched on consoles and PC. It’s a titanic occasion as players can finally become giant monsters and robots and stomp through cities in 2-player local co-op. We spoke with Alex Rushdy, CEO at 13AM Games and Creative Director of Dawn of the Monsters, about the game&...

WayForward, the studio behind River City Girls and the Shantae series, is teaming up with fellow indie developer, 13AM Games (makers of Runbow), on a monster-themed beat 'em up. Dawn of the Monsters looks like a spiritual successor to the classic Neo Geo series, King of the Monsters, and will feature 2-player local co-op. Kaiju fans won't have much longer to wait, thankfully, because Dawn of the Monsters is due to release on consoles and PC next month.

I must admit, I'm sort of surprised to see so many co-op twin-stick shooters lately. It's a good thing, don't get me wrong, it's one of my favorite genres of games - after all I created one myself. It's just surprising because they always seemed sort of niche. Perhaps Monsters and Monocles, launching today on Steam Early Access, is the very embodiment of that. Combining steampunk, horror, and retro goodness into a four player twin-stick game.

Bundle Stars is back with another incredibly cheap collection of indie games celebrating... um... things. The Abstract Bundle packs together ten different Steam games of varying genres and styles, but the important part is more than half of them have co-op!

Just when you thought you had seen the last zombie game ever (just kidding, who would ever think that?), along comes Zombies Monsters Robots. It plays a little like Gears of War, the publisher calls it a sequel to Mercenary Ops, and it has online co-op confirmed for at least eight players. Oh, and it's being developed by Yingpei Games, a studio that was once known as Epic Games China.

All things bright and beautiful, all creatures great and small - are available in the latest Humble Bundle Weekly offer.  Purchase the pack for more than $6 and you not only get a bunch of solo games to play via Steam, but also PixelJunk Monsters Ultimate and Critter Crunch.

A couple that plays together, stays together! So break out the wallet and get some awesome co-op games on the cheap! The folks at GOG.com are having a massive sale in spirit of Valentine's Day, and tons of co-op titles made the list!

PixelJunk Monsters Ultimate has worked its way from PS Vita / PS3 to Steam, bringing with it all the rock monsters, annoying bumblebees, Tesla towers and upgrade dances. It stands out as a solid co-op experience with a few drawbacks, but it's still the best version of PixelJunk Monsters Ultimate we've seen.

Though nowadays, Q Games' PixelJunk titles are well-known as a quality set of quirky little indie games, it wasn't until their second game, PixelJunk Monsters, that they became more of a household name. Today we're going to check out its latest port, PixelJunk Monsters Ultimate HD for the Vita....

Vita owners were more than a little disappointed with the lack of Vita-related news at E3 2013, but a little PixelJunk might cheer everyone up. Double Eleven recently announced it will be handling a remake of the PlayStation 3 and PSP tower defense game, titled PixelJunk Monsters: Ultimate HD.
