This is especially true as we approach the full release of Risk of Rain 2. Risk of Rain is also a good choice, but as good as it is, it doesn’t hold a candle to the newer entry. Risk of Rain 2 was always going to be on this list. Despite it playing like a survival game, with things like resource management, crafting, and tempratures to manage, it’s also a roguelike, where you’ll unlock new things the more you play, and doing so with friends is amazingly good fun. At the centre of this village is a World Tree, and it’s being constantly attacked by both dark sources and massive Jötunn. Tribes of Midgard has you playing an an Einherjar who’s been tasked with trying to save a village. However, Tribes of Midgard is a game that naturally has support for up to ten players, that’s not the only thing that’s good about it, obviously, but it’s definitely relevant if you’ve been looking for something bigger. Something that many co-op games are hampered by is a limit on how many friends you can play with. As it stands, these are those games, I think you can have a lot of fun with all of them. It’s a tall order, and as such, I’ve only found a few games that fit the bill. Now, the best co-op roguelikes are infinitely replayable, and both easy to pick up and play, but also have a fair bit of depth to them.
