Full Metal Furies
From the creators of Rogue Legacy comes a "true-cooperative" action RPG. FULL METAL FURIES puts an emphasis on team play with a unique combat system where everyone is important. Work together to defeat special enemies, string organics combos to deal massive damage, and save a wartorn world that is battling itself to extinction. Play on the couch or online with friends, and make it a party for up to four players! Or go solo in single-player, and show off your skills through a Pick 2 quick-switch system that retains all the nuances of multi-play. True coordination is needed to take down your foes. Enemies enter the battlefield with coloured barriers, and only allies of a similar colour can shatter them. You must revive your fallen allies. Barriers won’t break themselves! Revive bars naturally raise over time, but a helping hand never hurts.

This game is made with pure love, simple as
one of the best co op experiences ive ever had and this game goes to dirt cheap price on sales
find a group to play this with and @them over and over until you beat the game
the puzzles are peak, made me feel like being a kid with the pokemon regi rumors all over again with how little there is documented about this game
the story picked up, some lines are furiously kino, played straight and juxtaposed with the lighthearted writing and charatcers. The gameplay is incredibly rewarding and having any slight team cohesion is like overloading on dopamine, every character can have their spotlight just as teamplay lets you stomp the game
the experience of playing this with 3 others is gonna be a core memory, all time favorite, wish this came out in a time better for its popularity the game deserves

A criminally overlooked gem right here. Full Metal Furies can best be described a beat-em-up bullet hell action RPG for 1-4 players (local and online!) that excels in fast-paced frenetic chaos and rewards strategy and teamwork. I honestly haven't had this much fun playing through a beat-em-up with friends since I first played Castle Crashers back in 2010!
The story is interesting and engaging, the characters are genuinely charming to the point that I can't pick a singular favorite, and the scripted dialogue (no voice over) comes across very natural and funny without even trying to be. The music is absolutely banging - as one would expect no less from A Shell In The Pit - and the game is chock full of surprises and gameplay twists to keep you on your toes. The optional puzzles to unlock additional equipment, story, and secret boss fight are well worth the effort for those who enjoy riddles and brain teasers, but be warned, they can get tough!
All that said, the only people I would NOT recommend this game for are people who get overwhelmed easily. This IS a bullet hell game, and requires focus, strategy, and if playing in co-op (which I HIGHLY recommend), teamwork and communication as well. An excellent choice for game night with friends, especially if you enjoyed Castle Crashers or TMNT: Shredder's Revenge but want something more complex that will last a while!

We started with 4 people, but now it's just the two of us playing. It's still fun, it's still interesting. The fact that some places in the game are impossible to find without looking at the guide makes it uninteresting. In some places, it is impossible to pass the level without 4 players. Overall, it's one of the best co-op games out there.

This game is an absolute banger for co-op fans. I've purchased this game twice (on PC & Switch), spending 60+ hours on Switch. My partner and I LOVE this game as it offers a unique brawler experience that's fun, engaging and challenging. We tend to stick to our strengths in game meaning she's melee heavy and disrupts the battlefield while I focus on targeted damage and hit stuns. Both of us do our fair share of reviving as the game finds ways of killing the both of us. We do have different skill levels with gaming (she's more casual & I like to be punished) and we find the game balances it well.
We've already completed the the first campaign and are now in the middle of the new game+. It's definitely much more challenging and offers a fresh take as you have everything unlocked! Which leads to my favourite part about the game, each character has access to 4 difference items for each of the action buttons. There is also a skill tree that you an put points into as you level up. From our experience, EVERY item is viable after you take the time to build competency. For example, I found the air crit talents on the sniper to be useless as they were difficult to land until I spent 5+ hours on the air crit tech. Now she's my preferred class in NG+. All characters have synergies with one another leading to interesting build discussions and strategy discovery.
The story is interesting and feels stronger the second time around. There are riddles and secrets to unlock in the game. Some are MUCH much harder than others - we opted to use the internet to help us (thank you so much to the dedicated community members). I don't have the brain power and literacy skills to solve the riddles.
To the Developement Team at Cellar Door Games - THANK YOU for creating a unique and challenging experience - I hope to see a DLC or sequel

Great co-op game! It works best with 2 players, with 4 it gets a bit messy. Love the gameplay and the humor!

Really fun. I recommend playing with friends. Wish this game was a lot more popular cause I had so much fun with it. Game is quippy and has fun dialogue and the combat isn't anything revolutionary but it's def fun. Try it with friends or a friend, didn't have much fun trying solo.
