Favorite Local Multiplayer Games
Description
The wife and I have regular game nights with my brother and his wife. Here are some of our favorites to play.
P.S. These aren't ranked. They're all awesome.
Broforce
Absolute chaos. Everything explodes. We kill each other almost more often than we kill the intended targets. But few games top it in over-the-top action and absurd fun.
Crawl
One person is the 'dungeon crawler hero' and everyone else are spirits that can spawn as monsters/traps/etc. Gorgeous pixel graphics, and a really great game overall.
A Fistful of Gun
This is a personal favorite considering my affinity for pixel art and violent westerns. Each character has a different set of controls and therefore entirely different playstyles. Challenging and entertaining.
Gang Beasts
Perhaps the most ridiculous fighter ever. With the right group of people and plenty of beer it's also the funniest.
Hammerwatch
Top-down dungeon crawling with great graphics.
Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes
One person is stuck in a room with a bomb. The others have to reference a manual to help them defuse the bomb. Brilliant party game.
Knight Squad
Perhaps the most competitive on this list. But as long as no one is too obsessed with winning it's also insanely fun.
Monaco: What's Yours Is Mine
Top down pixel heisting. Most of the time is spent sneaking around, until someone triggers an alarm and everyone runs around yelling at the person responsible for alerting the guards. Always hilarious.
Mount Your Friends
Surely you've seen videos of this one. Stupid, pointless, and funny as hell.
Move or Die
Quick, chaotic, and never boring. The rules change every 30 seconds (I think that's the number).
Nuclear Throne
Very difficult, with spectacular graphics and that random luck that keeps it highly replayable (or more like retryable).
Risk of Rain
One of my personal favorite roguelikes. Great weapons, great graphics, huge replayability.
Rocket League
Unique, exciting, competitive.
Screencheat
My brother and I grew up screencheating each other on GoldenEye. Needless to say the wives still don't stand much of a chance in this one but everyone loves it.
SpeedRunners
Footracing with weapons. That's all you need to know.
