I would be curious about your favorite coop games. I often find them a big lacking, often being a bit unbalanced. An example is Battle for Hogwarts, where one game can be a walk in the park and another absolutely impossible and rarely is there a balanced match.

    My partner and I really enjoy mini rogue.

    It can be brutal at times but often you can track your downfall back to a risky decision earlier.

    It’s a one or two player dungeon crawl. Some light rpg mechanics, dice based combat and events, some traders and items to find.

    To me it captures games like deep dungeons of doom and legends of grimrock very nicely.

    Single player rules also feature a campaign mode, the old gods expansion adds a couple cool events and new bosses.

      Sounds interesting, I kinda like dungeon crawlers. Its probably a remnant of playing diablo2 when I was younger. I will have to check it out. Do you prefer 1 player or 2?

        I basically only play it with my SO so can’t comment on single player.

        From scanning the rules, the campaign sets certain events and “layouts” for certain levels and consecutive runs. It also adds a little bit of meta progression to give your character’s two abilities a bit of variety.

        Ah another thing: it’s very portable!

          portable mashes well with our lifestyle, we are very much on the move. At most places we have already stashed some games but often bring 1/2 with us as well
