Livid

A unique method for multiplayer

Livid Has one of the most unique methods for games and multiplayer. The world and the character designs were shocking, along with the fact that it was not much about history, which makes it exciting. It was like playing the original Zelda Games with just a large map open to explore, put games in front of a story.

In this world, players could meet another randomly online and either collaborate with them or fight them, which increased the game's mysterious design. Players can even unlock new mechanics in co-op, such as getting a boost up a wall.

Nineh 2

While waiting for the sequel

Nineh 2 was a Samurai-theme soul-like that was much more brutal than the first game. Players could go with two other online or invite two others to their game to go on assignments or expeditions.

Assignments focused on specific content, such as managers, while expeditions were more free. There were limits for each position, which players who have to beat content on their own to unlock it in multiplayer, which made it a messy installation. Based on Nineh 3's Demo, it seems that multiplayer will be easier, but Nineh 2 will be good training for now.

The code vein

This game bites

The code vein is a vampire -based soul -like that takes place in a ruined version of the world. Most of the game's forces revolved around blood, but the characters were not exactly blood suckers in the traditional sense, plus the game was strongly affected by anime.

Players can go through the game with their AI-based companion, but they can also play with another online. Players still had to complete the goal of the story on their own, but at least the exploration was helped by multiplayer. It's a good time to play the first game because the sequel will come out in 2026.

Lords of the Fallen

An area that is reborn

Lords of the Fallen Released in two different forms almost a decade from each other: 2014 vs 2023, 2023 version is a more complete version of the soul -like vision, which allows two players to explore a large world together without much in the way of limitations. Players can create their character, including one of several classes, and then even them out on the road to split their class dynamically.

The snowy world may not be as versatile as other souls, and just having two-players co-op is a disappointment, but the seamless game is impressive.

Rested 2

Gun

REST: From ash Gave soul -like fans a new way of blasting through enemies via weapons. The interval -based game made it safer to get involved in battle for the new ones in the genre, but it was not a simple game in any way, as enemies were more than capable of charging. Rested 2 Has all these characteristics but more: larger managers, larger areas and larger weapons. Playing with two other online felt like going through strikes in FateExcept with a little less mobility and more intense meetings.

3

Salt and sacrifice

2D Happiness

Salt and sacrifice is a sequel to Salt and sanctuaryA 2D soul -like set in a gloomy, faded world. What makes multiplayer good for this game is that it can be fully played, from back to front, with another player.

Promotions can be played online or offline on the couch, which is the best way to play. There is nothing better than spin with a partner on the couch under rough sections or split a high five after ruining a tough boss. Hopefully the 2D perspective does not turn soul -like fans.

2

The fire call Nightreign

A roguelike expansion

The fire ring Was a big leap forward thanks to the open world compared to other fromsoftware games. Multiplayer can still be difficult to navigate, but with their article-based call instead of relying on easily accessible menus like most multiplayer games. That was fixed in The fire call NightreignThe standalone Roguelike expansion which is brand new. Instead of a seamless world, players can choose a manager and then match with others online.

They will be let into a zone where they are free to roam until the boundaries begin to close and reduce the playing field. It's not as big or as liberating as the original game, but multiplayer is very superior.

Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin

A lazy soul -like in a familiar world

Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin is a prequel set before the original game that reinstated the mythical Light Warriors. This soul -like gave player a familiar world to explore, albeit with an extremely glowing, along with lots of work classes to change in and out. Each dungeon was divided into assignment, which made it easy to navigate between individual and multiplayer.

Unlike most souls, Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin Has difficulty situations, which means that players and their partners can go into it as a more relaxed adventure to focus more on friendship rather than challenge. All of these options and more make it the ideal soul to play in co-op.
