Good couch co-op/multiplayer games? (lemm.ee)

Hi guys!

Soon I'll be traveling and visiting family. I'd like to be able to hook my Steam Deck to their TV and let their kids have a rip at couch multiplayer games allowing up to 4 simultaneous players. The good ole classic WiiU Mario Kart is there and been played until exhaustion by now, so I'd be happy if I had more titles (either SD-compatible or just plain emulated) at the ready if they wanted to try.

Thanks!

Strong, STRONG recommendation for checking out Hypercharge: Unboxed.

It’s an amazing mix of aesthetic from Army Men: Sarge’s Heroes on the N64 and the Toy Story 2 Action Game with the PvP gameplay of the former and PvE gameplay of any famous shooter from the past 20 years.

To top it off, the level of detail put into every damn corner of the game is to die for. Customizable action figure player characters, all the NPC enemies are recognizable toys that react exactly as you expect (i.e. Beyblades that spin out into pieces when destroyed, and plastic soldiers that melt when shot with a flamethrower), and the environments are all lovingly designed and decorated. It’s the perfect modern couch-co-op game.

Thanks a lot! How many split-screen players are allowed? Only two, or does it go up to 4?

[–] BmeBenji@lemm.ee 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

It supports up to 4. Full disclosure I haven’t tried split screen on the Deck, but I fully believe it’s worth a shot

I mean for split screen I'd be hooking it up to a TV. It's too tiny for 4 ppl to cram their heads and try to figure what's going on. Thanks!
