Games similar to FORCED co-op

Post by J1M »

Forced was a cool indie game with pretty good design that was held back by subpar networking code. (Entire team were amateurs working on their first game.)

It had MOBA/twin stick style controls. Players progressed through stages. Each completed stage granted a talent point. Completing a specific challenge for a level or clearing it under a certain time also granted a talent point, giving an incentive to replay a stage. The four characters each used a different weapon. Unlike games like Portal 2 it was co-op with a challenge.

Please discuss Forced and recommend similar games in this thread. Similar as in co-op games with progression mechanics and incentives to communicate to overcome challenges.

V Rising is probably an example, even though it has a continuous map and survival grinding rather than a set of discrete challenges. Some of the bosses require planning or creativity to overcome.

Who gets to be Lara Croft and who gets to be the Guardian, though?

Anyway, if you want some game to have forced coop, just play some ****** MMO with enforced content group sizes.

If you do singleplayer then you're lara

In 2player one of the players is guardian, there are fewer ledges for her to jump on and she can jump on his head or on spears that he throws into the wall, and he can use her grappling hook as a tightrope.
