PC local multiplayer recommendation thread

[Pericolos0]

Hey guys,

 

I decided I'm not getting any of the new consoles this time around, and want steam to be my next "console". So I hooked it up to my tv and got a bunch of wireless controllers. Now I'm wondering what some good multiplayer partygames are that are available on PC. I already have some emulators installed, which is cool for classic snes games and stuff, but I'm wondering what there is on steam for this, or outside of steam. Any indie games & freeware too

 

Thanks!

 

Steam big picture mode is really really awesome by the way

for starters: broforce supports 4 player local multiplayer, and is a lot of fun: http://www.broforcegame.com/

Give Gangbeasts a go, we were playing that at work the other week and it was an awesome 2-10 player beat-em-up!

 

Also a new version of Gauntlet was released this week. Might be good, not sure. Pomperi worked on it.

Been having A LOT of local multiplayer nights over the last year or so, these are mainly competitive but they're awesome! (and they're all on Steam)

 

TowerFall

 

Gang Beasts

 

Mount Your Friends

 

Samurai Gunn

 

Nidhogg

 

Haven't tried ScreenCheat yet, but it looks pretty sweet

Ooooooh excellent recommendations so far! I forgot about Nidhogg and Mount Your Friends . Exactly what I'm looking for!

Also thisis a bit old school, but what about Liero or Soldat?

spelunky has local coop as well. Not sure if it's any good? I've only ever played it single player

serious sam 3 has split screen on pc:

 

 

terrible game but could be fun coop

oooh.. soldat has local multiplayer? That would rule

Yeah they're great~~ BTW a brilliant feature of Mount Your Friends is that you can import your own faces. I ended up grabbing images of 7 people last time but it was totally worth it, makes way more hilarious when it's people's actual faces that are positioned under somebody elses junk

Sounds like the new Gauntlet is a blast with local mp.

racing games?

 

seems like trackmania 2 has split screen! Excellent!!!

I think Flatout Ultimate Carnage have split screen, they also have party mode with the stunt games in them.
